Lots of laughs! Celebrity impressionist and comedian Matt Friend teamed up with Bilt Rewards to launch the Neighborhood Benefits program, a comedy series that gathers local communities in beloved venues, starting Dec. 10.

Friend, 26, who is known for his repertoire of over 250 celebrity impressions including Rami Malek and Timothée Chalamet, with fans like Liev Schreiber and Sebastian Maniscalco, will act as the program’s Director of Neighborhood Experience, Comedy.

“As someone who grew up doing impressions of my neighbors before I could do celebrities, I know the best comedy comes from the community,” he said in a press release.

“I’m so excited to help discover tomorrow’s comedy stars and put them in the spotlight with today’s legends, right in our own backyards. Think of it as comedy’s version of farm-to-table, except the only thing we’re cooking up is laughs,” he continued.

The shows, which are set to take place at intimate venues in New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston, Massachusetts, Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California, will feature local up-and-coming stand-up performers, established legends, curated light bites, and complimentary drinks exclusively for Bilt Members.

“Let’s face it—life’s too short for boring rewards programs. That’s why we’re turning your neighborhood into a stage with Bilt’s Neighborhood Comedy Experience Series. Because what’s better than earning points for paying rent? Laughing so hard that you forget you just paid rent,” Ankur Jain, CEO & Founder of Bilt Rewards added. 

Bilt Members can purchase up to two tickets per show in the Bilt app and gain access to additional Rent Day benefits beginning on Nov. 27 at 12:00 pm EST.
