"Funny, witty", (BBC Sounds) and able to deliver a "comedy knockout punch" - (The People's Comedy), Matt Pugsley may look no nonsense, but he finds the nonsense in everything.

Selected for the "Best in Class" showcase at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Pugsley takes the audience through stories of working class misadventure and unorthodox approaches to dealing with whatever life throws his way. From observation quips to uproarious storytelling, from morose to mischievous, he is a versatile emerging talent, guaranteed to be engaging and hilarious throughout.

Pugsley has reached the finals of numerous comedy competitions, and proven to be a firm audience favourite. He has performed at everything from pubs to festival tents, comedy clubs and even someone's living room.

A proud Bristolian from working class roots, Pugsley organised and performed at two showcases of fellow working class Bristolians, first partnering with The People's Comedy to run "Gurt Lush" (2023), and then "Made In Bristol", (2025) as part of the first Bristol Comedy Festival.

Off stage, Pugsley has had his sketch comedy featured on BBC Sounds, and has also appeared in, and provided voice acting in a number of film and television productions.
