About this show
100% Badgers 2: Badgers vs hedgehogs is a stand-up comedy show about the worlds of badgers, hedgehogs, and being one of the country's premier badger comedians. Following his critically acclaimed and sold out 2025 Edinburgh Fringe show 100% Badgers ('hilarious and heartfelt' ½, Edinburgh-Reviews.co.uk), Matt has trained to be a badger rescuer, been asked to help in the fight for badger rights, and has had a badger move in to his garden. Matt will also address the eternal question: What are better, badgers or hedgehogs?
