At first, it’s hard to wrap the mind around what Matt Baker calls a job. Imagine a job description that involves making people laugh while doing things like spearing vegetables in mid air and juggling with your mouth. That is what Matt Baker of the aptly named Matt Baker Comedy Stunt Show has chosen as his profession.

It’s not hard to see why he was voted Seattle’s funniest prop comic and is considered one of the hottest variety acts in North America. Far from the jugglers you might see at a children’s birthday party, Matt performs at corporate events, colleges, cruise ships and theaters across the world. A resume that boasts a Guinness World Record, appearances on America’s Got Talent, Chinese national television and Last Comic Standing, plus performances in 14 countries and in all 50 states are accomplishments an average entertainer would be happy with over the course of a career, but Matt has achieved all that in only 10 short years.

The show he created is as much vaudeville as it is stand-up comedy, but one thing is certain that it appeals to all ages. Stunts that include catching a horse with a face, escaping handcuffs, using audience volunteers, spinning saw blades on sticks and a continuous barrage of laughter is what you will witness when Matt takes the stage.

You can come see Matt in action for one night only on Saturday, Nov. 6 at the Valley Center Stage 119 North Bend Way at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 and $10 for seniors and children and can be purchased by visiting www.valleycenterstage.org or by calling (425) 831-5667
