ROSE MATAFEO: ON AND ON AND ON Premieres December 19th

The star and creator of Starstruck is back on stage with ROSE MATAFEO: ON AND ON AND ON, a hilarious and heartfelt hour-long deep dive into the cycles and contradictions that shape modern life. This special, filmed live at London’s Britten Theatre, showcases Matafeo’s trademark wit and self-deprecating humor as she launches into a witty dissection of topics that range from the absurdities of dating and relationships to the trials of aging and self-discovery.

A Comedy Born on Real Life Notes

Matafeo has written her performance from a 16,000-word note that she has been documenting on her phone. Her musings are as honest as they are hilarious as she talks about Millennial observations about life at age 20 versus age 30, supporting friends through breakups, and coming to terms with changing desires about having children. She also sharpens her wit on online relationship coaching and compares how her life is now to that of her parents when they were her age.

Matafeo has an unparalleled ability to bring personal rumination into universal truth. In her own words:

“I had laryngitis at the time of taping and was on a heavy dose of steroids. I accept no responsibility for this performance, except if it’s praise and then I’ll take that.”

A Homecoming to Max

EVP of HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials Nina Rosenstein has cited Matafeo’s return as “great.
Being reunited with Rose after her great work in Horndog and brilliant work on Starstruck, this is like a homecoming for all of us. Rose is the ultimate barometer on the multifarious subjects Millennial women face today, and her comedic wit offers just the right amount of guidance and self-deprecation to leave a lasting impression.” ### About Rose Matafeo
