With only two days to go until the presenter's Dare To Care dare, 'The Last Laugh' takes place in Number Twenty Two, South Anne Street, he's getting a bit worried.
Being really funny is difficult (we're not joking), and Matt is finding that out first-hand as he goes from a stand-up guy to a stand-up comedian.
To give the gig the best shot he can, Mr.Cooper has been experimenting with various genres of comedic delivery. His first attempt was a bit of improv. with his wife Aileen, but he ended up in a random role.
He looks at some other options like one-liners and observational, then chats about a few of the influences he's been studying (Dermot Whelan, Jimmy Carr, Bill hicks etc.).
But it's his channeling of keyboard lover, David O'Doherty, that made us smile most after a few dodgy 'dad jokes'.
