Matt Jernigan grabs the attention of people both young and old with his crazy song parodies. With just his guitar and amazing impressions of popular singers from Britney Spears to Elvis Presley, from Ricky Martin to Tom Jones, Matt will immediately connect with your entire audience. Whether it be a church outreach, social, club, college, or corporate event, Matt has done it and left a lasting impression.
Matt is an actor, comedian, singer/songwriter, and musician who has been featured on many television shows, films, and commercials which include The X-Files, Days of Our Lives, Comedy Central's Make Me Laugh, and Matlock. Matt has performed in some of L.A.'s top comedy clubs such as the world famous Comedy Store and the Icehouse of Pasadena. It is not an uncommon site to see Matt receiving standing ovations.
Matt is originally from Wilmington, North Carolina where he graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in Communications/Broadcasting, Theater Arts and Speech. Matt has won several voice and comedy competitions. He has always known that he would love to perform for a living, and has felt totally blessed that God would allow it to happen.

"From the start, unfortunately, I saw comedy as simply a way to make a living and not necessarily to honor God. But after experiencing how empty that was, things changed. I'd been a Christian for nearly 20 years, and soon realized that my "walk" wasn't fully devoted to God. Now, my sole purpose is to honor God with the talents He's blessed me with. I see such a need to reach out to non-believers through quality, cutting-edge entertainment. And I feel, as a Christian, it is my responsibility to draw non-believers closer to God by bringing them things they can relate to, and by showing them that Christians are 'real' and love to have fun. Christianity isn't this confining, boring lifestyle-it's exciting and full of joy."

Matt does one of the funniest stand-up comedy shows I've ever seen.

Claremont McKenna College

Matt was a complete success and turned a stiff crowd into a crowd of roaring laughter that would not soon forget this event. Matt stole the show!

What a pleasure it was to have him perform for us. He is clever and talented, and also, had us involved in doing some of the songs with him (how hilarious that was!). His personal testimony was clear and effective with our unbelieving friends. Thank you for the delightful entertainment we enjoyed that night.

Matt was a great example that clean comedy can be hilarious to a group of young college/high school guys. The kids come off as having a hard exterior, but Matt had them laughing. It was great, great fun. Matt gets very high marks from us.

Matt Jernigan worked well with our group, he got them laughing and interacting with him. He had a rough crowd who quickly warmed up to his “Songs you love to hate” and hilarious act. We enjoyed every minute of the show and will never forget his Christ-centered performance and testimony of Christ’s power in the world.
