40 Is Not The New 20 starring Matt Kazam Celebrates Grand Opening at The Riviera
Twenty five year comedy veteran Matt Kazam, celebrated the Grand Opening of his one man show, 40 Is Not The New 20, at The Riviera Comedy Club on Wednesday night, September 18. In this hilarious, 70 minute one-man stand-up comedy production Kazam explores how much the world has changed in the past 40 plus years, by targeting everyday topics like marriage, sex, parenting, work, exercise, just to name a few, though the eyes of a 40 year old.

If you remember when there were no smart phones and only three stations on television, this show is for you. Matt puts the notion that 40 is the new 20 on trial and breaks down the concept into categories such as technology, the media, politics, relationships, our priorities and even how our bodies have changed over the years.
Kazam tells it like it is, using his own life experiences and sharp observations to make valid points on every subject using comparisons and contrasts that audiences age 40 and over will relate to. The comedian has definitely honed his craft and at the age of 45, the likable Kazam knows exactly how to make people laugh with spot on comic timing and great material.The result is one very funny show. I can honestly say, I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time.
Matt Kazam has performed in many of America’s top comedy clubs, casinos and theaters. With more than 6,000 stand-up performances in 45 states under his belt, Kazam has the ability to work any crowd in any venue. New York native, Kazam who was born in the Bronx, began performing shows for his family and friends at the age of three, but it wasn’t until graduating college that he took the plunge as a full-time comedian. He’s made several television appearances, including NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” FOX’s “Big Red Couch” and “Comedy Central’s “Stand-up Stand-up,” among others.
Showtimes for 40 Is Not The New 20 is 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday (dark on Sunday). Tickets are $40 plus tax and applicable fees. Guests must be 18 years or older with valid ID.
