Wilfredo
Wilfredo is the alter ego of Matt Roper, a comedian, writer and musician. As the darling of London’s alternative cabaret scene, the grotesque, crude and deluded Wilfredo is a self-described Spanish “pop God” who has taken the UK festival circuit by storm.
Known in his native Andalucia as El Nino de Granada, Wilfredo took the UK festival circuit by storm last year on the back of his multi-platinum, best-selling albums Solo Para Las Damas (Only For The Ladies) and Julio Ni Siquiera Pueden Cantar Como Yo (Not Even Julio Can Sing Like This).
Wilfredo extends the sweaty palm of invitation to come and witness the spectacle of a performance that will no doubt leave you emotionally tattooed for a lifetime. Singing classic covers, original songs and parody, the Wilfredo experience is an assault on the senses.
Creator and comic performer Matt Roper found himself touring the world of smoky clubs and theatres as a young teenager on the road with his father, a stand-up comic. At eighteen he made his own stand-up debut, before writing and performing a number of satirical sketch comedies on the London fringe to both public and critical acclaim.

“Musical character comedy at its most disturbing… but compelling, hilarious stuff.”

“A nice mix of innocence and aggression, of the unexpected and the truly odd. Oh, and funny.”
Martin Freeman
“He’s a splendid piece of character comedy… a triumphant debut for a slice of wilted Manchego.”
Venue Magazine
“I left having spent the evening roaring with laughter.”
