After enduring what he thought was sciatica during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Matt was diagnosed with cancer. A few weeks later he was having the base of his spine removed.
While learning to walk again, Matt returned to work on his acclaimed Political Party, British Scandal and Down The Dog podcasts, alongside hosting Absolute Radio’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Football Show. His final challenge was to return to the Edinburgh festival with a new show, reckoning with the UK’s newly elected government after 14 years and in conjunction with the US election race.
The Political Party has over 9 million downloads, received numerous nominations from award bodies including the British Podcast Awards and Chortle Awards, and is regularly highlighted as a top podcast pick in the press. Matt co-hosts the Wondery’s flagship British Podcast Award winning British Scandal alongside Alice Levine and Down The Dog podcast with Jon Richardson.
Matt also wrote and voiced characters for Spitting Image including Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer and Donald Trump. With numerous nominations for Broadcast Digital Awards, Matt is a must-seem for any fans of political satire.
Tickets for Matt Forde are available from www.southendtheatres.org.uk or by calling 0343 310 0030 or can be purchased from the Cliffs Pavilion Box Office.
