Matt Okine: The Other Guy

"Okine is an outstanding storyteller."

More Matt Okine Matt Okine Profile

The radio show host had even the audience feeling shameful as he relayed some of his most personal and embarrassing anecdotes, every joke receiving a laugh.

Matt Okine talked us through dealing with ‘the haters’, the joys of financial stability after years of living paycheck to paycheck, Australia’s inherent racism and the most cringe-worthy moments of his own romantic life. Okine is an outstanding storyteller and his performance structure was sheer intelligence, which was made clear as he referred to previous jokes time and time again. Okine gave us a small slice of the hardships relationships today face, pulling upon the audience’s heartstrings, yet in true style he tied it all together in his comedic finale.
