Matt Dorado is a multidisciplinary artist and producer.

He is best known for creating DRUNKEN DEVIL, an immersive party series that combined theatre and nightlife elements with original, character-driven storytelling. Thanks to buzzy word-of-mouth and a dedicated fanbase, what started as small, one-off themed warehouse parties quickly blossomed into “a legend on the LA haunt scene” (No Proscenium); Matt created and produced over twenty events under the DRUNKEN DEVIL banner.

He also created TO LIVE AND DI(N)E IN L.A., an interactive, true-crime inspired dining experience. Guests broke bread with the ghosts of infamous Los Angeles killers and their victims, whisked away on a journey through the city’s sordid history via a four-course meal, cocktail pairings, and theatrical performances. The experience sold out each seating over its two-year run, and was hailed by TimeOut Los Angeles as “the most morbid – but entertaining – meal you can find in Los Angeles.” 

In addition to his theatrical projects, Matt wrote and directed A RITUAL, COMPLETE, a horror short film that premiered at Holly Shorts. He created THE COSMIC GAME, a narrative audio drama based on the lore of the DRUNKEN DEVIL events. He has also worked as an experience creator and producer for a number of organizations and brands, including Cirque du Soleil, LA Opera, Apothic Wine, El Silencio Mezcal, Diplomatico, and more.

Most recently, he created MONSTER PARTY, an immersive play set against the backdrop of McCarthyism and the Lavender Scare that ran as a two-night proof-of-concept in 2024. Thanks to fiscal sponsorship from NY-based nonprofit THE FIELD, he is currently fundraising to remount the show in 2026 as a fully-realized production. 

Matt lives in East Hollywood with his cat, Aleister Meowley.
