Biography

Beyond his screen work, Matthew Keating has been entrusted by major organisations including

Kryal Castle, Ritchies IGA, The Abbey Medieval Festival and the Southern Realm Festival to

represent their brands and command large-scale live audiences. As the touring presenter for The

Life of Thomas Ritchie, he carried a nationally recognised story across conferences and public

events, delivering performance-driven storytelling with authority and precision.

He currently fronts high-impact combat sports presentation, including jousting and armoured

combat tournaments, where he is fast becoming recognised as “the voice of buhurt” — combining

informed commentary with commanding, cinematic delivery.
