Mat Salud is quickly becoming one of the San Gabriel Valley’s comedy standouts. A finalist in the 2025 San Gabriel Valley Comedy Festival, Salud returned to host the festival in 2026 and made his Netflix Is a Joke Festival debut as a featured performer in Astronaut City’s New Joke City. He also co-produces A Very Asian Time of Our Lives, a monthly AAPI comedy showcase spotlighting rising Asian American talent. In 2026, Salud celebrated another milestone with his first headlining show at Astronaut City and appeared as a guest on The Mindbuzz podcast. From festival finalist to producer, host, and headliner, Mat Salud is helping make the SGV one seriously funny place to be.
