Matt Tilley

Matt Vernon Thompson Tilley (born 4 March 1969 in Melbourne) is an Australian former radio presenter and stand-up comedian.

Tilley was raised in Mount Eliza. He completed his secondary school education in 1986 at The Peninsula School in Mount Eliza. He completed a Bachelor of Laws degree from Monash University, taking 11 years to complete the degree, and a Diploma in Not-For-Profit Governance. He began stand-up comedy in 1987. He is married and has three children. He is an avid produce grower, food-waste fighter, and compassionate storyteller.

In early 2005, The Matt and Jo Show introduced a new segment which aired at 7:50 am titled "Matt Tilley's Gotcha Calls".[citation needed] The segment features Tilley making prank phone calls. Triple M in Sydney also featured Tilley on the Grill Team where he presented "gotcha" calls on a regular basis.

Fox FM, in association with Michael Gudinski, released a compilation album of Tilley's gotcha calls, Cereal Pest: The Gotcha Calls. The album reached number twelve on the ARIA charts and was also nominated for ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release at the 2006 ARIA Awards.

The gotcha calls continued throughout 2006 and eventually spawned a two-disc CD sequel, Cereal Pest: Gotcha Calls – The Double Album, which was released a year later on 21 October 2006. The album reached number four on the ARIA charts.

A third double-CD gotcha call album, Cereal Pest: Gotcha Calls – Three's a Crowd, was released on 10 November 2007. The album reached number fourteen on the ARIA charts.

A fourth album, The Gotcha Calls – The Final Call, was released on 23 October 2009 and reached number eight on the ARIA charts.

Matt has also been featured as a performer on the Network Ten series Thank God You're Here and most recently co-hosted the failed Nine Network show Surprise Surprise Gotcha.
