Jaz Mattu – FIGHTS HIS AUDIENCE
In my comedy career, work life and actual life, people have tried to fight me. Jaz Mattu Fights His Audience is about all those moments, why it keeps happening and how I deal with it, wrapped in one absurd, multimedia stand-up experience. Please don’t try to fight me during the show. ‘Truly unique.’ **** (Entertainment-Now.com). ‘Ambitious and innovative’ (Fest). ‘A great deal of creativity and ingenuity’ (BroadwayBaby.com).

River has the ability to draw comedy from even the darkest of times in her life. She’s truly one of a kind.
