"Matt is one of those people that can take the most muddled of mundane and turn it into a story - from a chat over a cup of tea on a Sunday morning he produced the most amazing of father of the bride speeches - funny, touching and memorable - yet made it sound as if it were written by the Father of the Bride himself.

His ability to pick put small details and tease out a story from an emotionally repressed northerner was so very much appreciated - except maybe by the Best Man who followed afterwards with a far too long, ripped from the internet repost, delivered badly ...

If I needed the help of a thought straightener/mind mining speechwriter again I would go straight back to Matt - whilst the line about the 'middle class mafia hit' didn't make it into the final version (for proprieties sake) I still cant go past a Waitrose without chuckling." - Andrew

I've been a freelance writer for thirty years. 

​

Starting as a gag writer for Private Eye, I have gone on to work as a script writer, journalist, creative, and copywriter for some of the country's top comedians, TV shows, radio shows, magazines, and websites.

​

TV shows I've worked on include Danger Mouse, 2DTV, and The Joan Rivers Position.

​

People I've worked with include Al Murray, Jimmy Carr, Steve Coogan, Joan Rivers, Matt Forde, and Jason Manford.

​

I've written speeches for business leaders and after-dinner speakers, and I provide a bespoke wedding speech service.

​

I've also had the privilege of tutoring for the Arvon Foundation and lecturing at Salford University.

"Matt Owen worked with me on the 2015 General Election campaign with the Free United Kingdom Party in South Thanet. He's a relentless gag machine and he wrote a large and very funny chunk of the book that went with that campaign, Let's Re-Great Britain." - Al Murray, Comedian
