Matthew C. "Matt" Iseman (born January 22, 1971) is an American comedian, actor, and television host, who began his career as a physician.
Iseman was born in Denver, Colorado. The son of a pulmonologist, Iseman was raised in Denver and followed his father into a medical career, earning a B.S. with honors from Princeton University and an M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He did his residency and internship in internal medicine at the University of Colorado Hospital in his home town of Denver, and later relocated to the Los Angeles area.
Iseman began doing stand-up comedy, with a routine based partly on his experiences as a doctor. He worked with the improvisational comedy troupe The Groundlings, and in 2002 became a full-time professional comedian. In addition to comedy club work, Iseman’s medical background has led to performing medical and health-related organizations. He has performed at USO shows in Afghanistan, South Korea, Bosnia, and Hungary.
He cites Brian Regan as a comedy inspiration. Iseman's comedy outside of humor about medicine and medical profession is mainly observational, and he generally avoids off-color material.
