Matthew Carlson: Performing Artist in New York

About Matthew Carlson

Matthew Carlson is a New York City–based performer active in the open‑mic circuit at Freddy’s Bar, moving between music, comedy, and spoken word depending on the room. He has appeared on bills tied to Mimsey’s Open Mic, Humans Against Music, the weekly Comedy Open Mic, and the monthly storytelling series *So What Happened Was...*. Carlson is also part of mixed‑format nights such as *Arts4Choice: Artists Advocating for All Through Art Birthday Special*, where stand‑up, poetry, and original songs share the same stage. His work favors directness and ensemble energy over polish.
