Comedian Matt Mathews is bringing a little bit of the farm to Orlando on his “Boujee on a Budget” comedy tour. Mathews got his start as a boudoir photographer before charming the internet and amassing a million followers on TikTok after daily posts of his dramatic conversations with animals on his Alabama farm. In 2024, he launched his first tour, “When That Thang Get Ta Thang’n,” leaning into his relatability, his unexpected path to comedy and his experiences growing up gay in Alabama government housing.

His sets are both personal and pointed, featuring life advice as well as brutally honest crowdwork. Mathews has recently started an interview-style show dubbed “Farm Chores” wherein he takes celebrities along to do the very chores that kickstarted his own comedy career. The 2026 “Boujee on a Budget” tour opens with Mathews noting that while negativity is everywhere, at his shows no dark topic is off-limits for a laugh.

7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Friday, May 1, Walt Disney Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, SOLD OUT.
