One of the UK's most in-demand comedy variety performers, and the first cabaret performer to ever win the Herald Angel award for excellence in theatre, Mat Ricardo has spent the last 25 years touring the world with his unique, astonishing and hilarious act. Reviving the almost-lost art of the gentleman juggler, Mat blends dazzling feats of dexterity and balance with the wit and timing of a skilled stand-up comedian. He is known internationally for his signature trick - the reverse tablecloth pull - where he puts a tablecloth on a table, underneath all the objects. But this is just one of the many unique and astonishing tricks that he has created. He has performed at countless international theatre and comedy festivals, on some of the finest cabaret, variety and burlesque stages in the world, in comedy clubs, and on cruise ships throughout the seven seas. He has dozens of television appearances to his name, has entertained for corporate clients too numerous to mention and has performed for members of the British Royal Family.
