Jokes About The Time I Got Detained In America
Multiple award-winning comedian Matt Harvey returns with this sharp and ridiculous new hour.
Upon attempting to enter America, Matt suddenly found his travel plans come to a screeching halt and found himself in a secret back room with angry border agents.
Matt has lived the kind of travel stories you hope never happen to you and has turned them into comedy you definitely want to hear.
