BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Matt Bellassai grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and graduated from Northwestern in 2012 with a degree in journalism. He relocated to New York the same year and began working as a writer for online content hub BuzzFeed. While there, Bellassai co-created the video series Whine About It in 2015, which eventually attracted more than 3.5 million weekly viewers. The following year he won the inaugural "favorite social-media star" trophy at The People's Choice Awards. Bellassai then announced he would put Whine About It on hold while he developed new projects, including book deals, comedy tours, podcasts, and TV appearances. His first move was to launch a new video series in the same vein as Whine About It called To Be Honest, after which he announced several dates for his debut standup showcase The Drunk & Alone Tour. Doors are opening left and right for this budding star, and he's sure to continue his rise as one of the freshest, funniest comedians – both online and off.
