I'M THAT

Matan Peretz, Comedian

Episode Summary

"It's an amazing experience, not just on stage, just every time that I make someone laugh, because, because it, it's a reflex, you know? Laughter is reflex. You can't control it. That's why you laugh in like this, terrible occasions and this, you know, yo, musica Ron and stuff, you know that just you shouldn't laugh, but it's a reflex. So I was a singer for years. I performed with my band, and you play your song, and the moment it ends, people will clap their hands, and it's very civil, and that's it. But when you make someone laugh, it's just, it's almost like they don't want to, but their body is just like exploding. And to make that effect on people is is crazy."

Episode Notes

Matan Peretz is the f**king sh*t.

He’s an Israeli standup comedian and content creator, who recently gained a lot of exposure due to his Hasbara videos during his reserve service in Hebron. That’s how I first got wind of him and he blew me away with his rhetoric.

Matan is hilarious, he’s a nice guy, he’s modest, he’s the real deal. There’s a reason nearly 200,000 people follow him on Instagram.

He’s a reserve soldier in the IDF, was on the front since early in October 7th, he knows what’s going on, he speaks first hand about what’s going on in Israel and he’s in it for the right reasons. Completely unapologetic, he takes the fight to the haters and is fearless in responding to their lies and obfuscations.

He’s is a truth seeker, he’s a truth teller and he gets attention online with his approach. And he’s funny about very unfunny subjects. He’s also funny about funny subjects and talks about a lot of stuff in his sell-out shows across Israel where he’s incredibly successful.

Matan speaks great English, he’s 100% proud to be Israeli and he’s someone I want you to know about and pay attention to. Please listen to our conversation and if you haven’t already, please follow him here.
