Mathew Frazer Horne (born 6 September 1978) is an English actor, comedian, television presenter, and narrator. He is best known for appearing on several BBC sketch shows and sitcoms, most notably Gavin & Stacey (as Gavin Shipman), The Catherine Tate Show, 20 Things to do Before You're 30, Teachers, Horne and Corden, and Bad Education.
Horne was born on 6 September 1978 in Nottingham, the son of Brian Horne and Glenis Reynolds. He grew up in Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire. Horne has an elder brother, Daniel. He attended Burton Joyce Primary School. He studied A level performing arts at Southwell Minster School in Nottinghamshire, and has a degree in drama from the University of Manchester. Here, Horne met Bruce Mackinnon in the first few weeks of term; they realised that they shared a similar sense of humour, but did not write material together until the third year of their studies.
Horne began his career as a comedian and later became one half of the comedy duo Mat and MacKinnon – first performing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2000. He was spotted at the festival by Catherine Tate who invited him to perform in The Catherine Tate Show. Since then Horne has continued to appear in several Catherine Tates Nan specials. He reprised his role as Jamie in two festive episodes of Catherine Tates Nan in 2015.
In 2003, he starred in Channel 4's 20 Things to do Before You're 30 and a year later earned the role of Ben, an atheist RE teacher, in the Channel 4 series Teachers.
