Comedian Matt Friend Teams Up with Bilt Rewards for Neighborhood Comedy Series
Matt Friend, a 26-year-old comedian, is partnering with Bilt Rewards to launch a new comedy series aimed at bringing communities together. Friend has been appointed as Bilt Rewards’s director of neighborhood experience, comedy. He will organize comedy events for rewards members at local venues.
The series will feature performances in “historic restaurants to hidden gems,” turning them into intimate comedy spots for one night. The lineup will include emerging comedians and established acts.
Friend expressed his excitement about the initiative, stating, “We’re going to create a series of incredible comedy shows at locations you wouldn’t necessarily expect to see comedy throughout the country.” Cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, D.C., will host these events.
Each event will offer curated light snacks and complimentary drinks for members. The first show is scheduled for December 8, 2023, at 1789 in Washington, D.C. Other venues include Lucali in New York City and Yvonne’s in Boston, among others.

By [Your Name]
NewsDirectory3: Thank you for joining us today, Matt. You’ve recently partnered with Bilt Rewards to launch a new comedy series. Can you share what motivated you to embark on this project?
Matt Friend: I’m thrilled to be here! The motivation behind this initiative is really about community. Comedy has a unique way of bringing people together, and partnering with Bilt Rewards allows us to create memorable experiences in venues that might not traditionally host comedy shows. I want to spotlight those “historic restaurants to hidden gems” that local residents love, turning each of them into a unique comedy hotspot for one night.
NewsDirectory3: That sounds fantastic! What can attendees expect from these events?
Matt Friend: Attendees can look forward to an incredible night filled with laughter, featuring a lineup of both emerging talents and established comedic acts. Each show will feel intimate and special, as we’ll transform these venues into personalized comedy spaces. Plus, we’ll have curated light snacks and complimentary drinks to keep the atmosphere lively and relaxed.
NewsDirectory3: You mentioned cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. Are there specific venues that you’re particularly excited about?
Matt Friend: Absolutely! I’m particularly excited for our kickoff show at 1789 in Washington, D.C. It’s an iconic location with a rich history, and it’s going to be a stunning backdrop for our comedy night. Other venues like Lucali in New York City and Yvonne’s in Boston also offer their own unique charm. Each location adds a special flavor to the experience.
NewsDirectory3: What role will Bilt Rewards play in this series, and how do you see it enhancing the experience for members?
Matt Friend: Bilt Rewards is dedicated to enhancing the rental experience for their members, and what better way than to bring them together for a night of laughter? Members can earn points while having fun. Ankur Jain, the CEO, perfectly captured it by saying, “What’s better than earning points for paying rent? Laughing so hard that you forget you just paid rent.” It creates a sense of belonging and offers something delightful for those who engage with the community.
NewsDirectory3: How can Bilt members participate in these comedy shows?
Matt Friend: Bilt members will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets per show directly through the Bilt app. Tickets will go on sale starting November 27. I’m also excited to highlight that Platinum Members will get early access, which is a great perk!
NewsDirectory3: Last question—what’s your vision for the impact of this comedy series?
Matt Friend: My vision is to make laughter accessible and create unique experiences that can strengthen connections within communities. I hope this series will not only entertain but also encourage local residents to explore their neighborhoods in a new way. We’re excited to enrich the cultural fabric of these cities, one comedy show at a time!
