Matt Rife: ProbleMATTic World Tour

Matt Rife has become one of the biggest comedians in the world through his top performing Netflix special and his remarkable engagement on social media where he has amassed over 18 million followers and more than 2 billion views globally. As one of the most talked about comedians in the business, Rife has been selling out theaters and arenas around the globe and is currently on his biggest tour to date, the Matt Rife: ProbleMATTic World Tour.

Rife recently sold out four shows at The Dolby Theater in Hollywood where the Academy Awards are also held. His current tour sold over 600,000 tickets in under 48 hours and became one of the largest comedy tours in over 20 years. He joined Taylor Swift as the only other live act to break Ticketmaster’s website due to demand.

Rife brings forth his refreshingly genuine presence along with elevated material that is quick witted and vulnerable. From a small town near Columbus Ohio, Rife started performing at the age of 15 before moving to Los Angeles two years later where he began his career in Hollywood.

In 2021, Rife self-produced and distributed his first one-hour comedy special "Only Fans" on YouTube. In April 2023, the comedian bet on himself again and self-released his 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. Only a couple months later, Rife decided to release his crowd work special “Walking Red Flag” on YouTube, which has amassed over 10 million views.

On November 15, 2023, the comedian released his highly anticipated third stand-up special, “Matt Rife: Natural Selection” on Netflix, which garnered outstanding numbers including over 10.3 million views in its first two weeks and earning a Top 10 ranking in 42 countries including #1 in US, Canada and South Africa.

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 appearances include “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Fresh Off The Boat,” BET’s “North Of The 10” and NBC’s comedy competition show “Bring The Funny.”
