Matt Long, Comedian

Comedian Matt Long died late last month. A short item in the Ventura County Star says that Long, “…walked in front of a car on Highway 33” and was killed.

A brief email from Chris Lindgren only says:

I’m sure everyone remembers Matt. He MC’d at The Ho. He was one of the WWHO (Westward Ho) Comedy Boot Camp boys.

Sad deal.

Sad, indeed. We only performed once at the legendary Westward Ho in Grand Forks, ND (where Lindgren was the comedy club’s GM), but not when Long was in the Camp.
