Comedian/Actor/Producer/Writer/and NY Times Best Selling Author Matt Rife has cemented himself as one of the biggest stand ups in the world through his chart-topping Netflix specials and his remarkable engagement on social media where he has amassed over 44.6 million followers, and more than 3 billion views globally.
Last December, Rife released his first book, Your Mom's Gonna Love Me, a memoir from Simon & Schuster which instantly became a NY Times bestseller. In his book, Rife reveals (without apology, of course) what led him to becoming comedy's biggest lightning rod before he reached thirty, in a story full of bold and hysterical takes on everything from rap battles with ex-cons to Matt's struggles with depression and his many brushes with failure before finally hitting it big.
Rife is currently selling-out arenas around the globe on his biggest tour to-date, Matt Rife: Stay Golden Tour, where he recently sold out two shows at the famed Madison Square Garden in NYC and became the youngest comedian to do so. Rife has also set the record at both Columbus' Nationwide Arena and Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena for most single event tickets sold for any event, as well as the all-time ticket sales record at Manchester's SNHU Arena.
On his ProbleMATTic World Tour, Rife sold out 4 shows at The Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where the Academy Awards are held. In December 2023, Rife set a record at the Mohegan Sun Arena with five nights of consecutive sold out performances and he became the youngest stand-up comedian to sell out the Hollywood Bowl with over 17,000 tickets sold. This tour sold over 600,000 tickets in under 48 hours, becoming 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.
