Matt Wheelwright: I Am But A Worm (WIP)

Matt Wheelwright presents I Am But A Worm, a stand-up show at The Griffin in Glasgow. It is a work in progress built around a new hour of comedy.

The show asks whether a person who is not bold or conspicuous must become so to be noticed and to succeed, and whether that temperament can be changed at all. Matt uses the humble worm as a starting point to look for lessons in a quieter way of being, questioning the idea that a small presence is a problem.

Matt is a comic whose recent results include reaching the final of Disabled Comedian of the Year in 2026, reaching the semi-finals of the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year competition in 2025, and being shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2023.

The Griffin is a Glasgow venue that hosts concerts and shows. This is a solo stand-up performance, and as a work in progress the material is still being developed on stage, so the hour may shift from one performance to the next.
