If you’re familiar with the phenomenon of Roast Battle, there’s a good chance you know Matthew Broussard. An LA-based comedian who was one of the early participants in the show, making it to the finals of the Roastmaster’s Invitation at Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival in 2015. Broussard was eventually bested by Jimmy Carr. However, the thing to remember about that is that Jimmy Carr was heavily favored to win that year as he’s a giant in that field. Broussard, on the other hand, was literally in Montreal because he was accepted to the festival that year a New Face. That’s right a New Face taking on Jimmy Effing Carr.
That’s the type of comedian Matthew Broussard is, witty, sharp and fearless. He places all of these elements on Pedantic. Discussing everything from his love of calculus to the struggles of looking like a Howard Hughes villain. Throughout everything, Broussard’s self-effacing charm infuses his most academic observations with an amiable silliness. The album will be released on October 21st and also marks the release of Broussard’s Half Hour on Comedy Central airing the same weekend. You can pre-order it right now.
