Matt Solter

A Pittsburgh native, Matt started studying improv in 2014. Since then, he’s felt very fortunate to learn from amazing instructors such as Susan Messing, Craig Cackowski, Rachael Mason, Bill Arnett, Rich Talarico, and Armando Diaz, as well as all the excellent instructors at Arcade Comedy Theater.  Matt has performed on various house and indie teams over the last several years, and is also the co-creator/producer of The Playlist, a show which blends long-form improv with live music. He’s performed at comedy festivals in New York City, Detroit, Columbus, Toronto, and Chicago.  He’s also done corporate shows for Arcade, both in and out of state. Aside from coaching for Arcade’s house team program, Matt has appeared in numerous scripted programming at Arcade, from live reads to sketch shows and everything in-between.  Additionally, he was the recipient of the “Outstanding Supporting Actor” award for his work in the 2019 Pittsburgh New Works Festival.  He's always open to talking about rom-coms if you happen to run into him.
