About

Matt Rife has exploded as one of the fastest growing comedians through his viral content and remarkable engagement on TikTok, where he has amassed over 13 million followers, and more than 2 billion views globally. As one of the most buzzed about comedians in the business, Rife has been selling-out comedy clubs and theaters across the country and is gearing up to embark on his biggest tour to-date with Live Nation, the Matt Rife: ProbleMATTic World Tour, kicking off on July 20th.

Rife brings forth his refreshingly genuine presence along with elevated material that is quick witted and vulnerable. From a small town near Columbus Ohio, Matt started performing at the age of fifteen then moved out to Los Angeles two years later where he began his career in Hollywood.

In addition to stand-up, he made his television debut on MTV's Wild 'N Out as the youngest cast member in history for four seasons before moving on to other MTV properties, such as hosting the reboot of TRL and appearing on The Challenge. Other credits include Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Fresh Off The Boat, BET's North Of The 10, and NBC's comedy competition show Bring The Funny.

In 2021, Rife self-produced and distributed through YouTube his first one-hour comedy special, "Only Fans". This past April, the comedian bet on himself again and self-released his highly anticipated second stand-up special, "Matthew Steven Rife" on YouTube. The special was taped in Austin, TX and is dedicated to his biggest role model, his grandfather Steven who had recently passed. He'll be taping his third stand-up special this fall in Washington, DC.

    45 min set

    by Joe on 5/1/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    Save your money. Two openers were good, Matt plays about 45 minutes or so. He needs to play smaller venues to work a crowd. He is trying to make the most money now and overwork himself while he is young. Save your money and watch the Netflix specials. There are no photos allowed and you will be watched the entire time by security. 45 minutes is not acceptable if the demand is there.

    It was ok

    by Celeste on 5/1/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    I love Matt Rife. But seeing him in person wasn't all I thought it would be. He really doesn't have much material. He interacts with the audience but it just wasn't all that funny. The audience was obnoxious. People can't walking past to the bar and we could hardly hear him and all around us people wouldn't stop talking or yelling. I think his tik toks are funnier since they show you the funniest parts. Tickets were too expensive and it wasn't all that funny

    1.5 hr show for how much ??!

    by Maxblonde on 5/1/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    The show started a half hour past the time shown for event. The first half hour was 2 other mediocre comedians. Thankfully Matt did crowd work, since that is where he shines. He was on stage for not a full 1.5 hrs. The tickets were $600, to me that doesn't justify such a "limited"show. He's done funnier stuff at smaller venues -- and I'm sure longer shows.

    Just not funny

    by Al on 4/30/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    Both openers bombed bad. Everyone around me made comments about how unfunny they were and nobody laughed. When Matt came out all his set was obviously scripted including his reactions to the crowd. He was being hackled half the time because everything was so bad. Can’t believe I spent so much money to not laugh once.

    Could have been better

    by shoegirl31 on 4/30/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    Matt's opening acts were great! Very funny and engaging. I think Matt needs to go back to smaller venues to interact with the crowd. From what we have seen on tik tok/Instagram of his earlier work made us really enjoy him and get us to want to see him. However, with the larger shows he's trying new material on groups, with jokes and not a lot of interaction with the crowd. I think that's where he's losing credibility/fans. For the amount of money spent on tickets, I think we should have gotten a better performance from him. He needs to go back to the smaller clubs and use the crowd for his shows.

    Not really that funny

    by Rob on 4/30/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    I've seen a few funny clips on social media by this guy that were funny, and I expected a great show. But he had trouble filling an entire stand up with material. He went on and on with stuff that people weren't really laughing at. I have been to comedy shows where the entire audience couldn't stop laughing, and this was not one of them. All you had to do is look around. Don't bother wasting your money.

    Better on tv.

    by Lizzogator on 4/30/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    Entry was smooth, easily found my seat. I am a Matt Rife fan but I wasn't amused. I feel the venue may be too large. He vibes off the crowd a lot and I think aspects of his humor were lost in this setting. I have laughed at all of his specials. I was disappointed
