Well, friends, that is Mr. Matt Rife, the viral comedian. Rife is a standup comedian who has become super popular on social media for his viral stand-up clips. His crowd work and quick wit draw people to his content. He’s a roast comedian, but he never takes it too far. He’s a really great writer, but he’s good at thinking on his feet. His stage presence is amazing.
Did we mention he’s also kinda gorgeous? His talent and looks have helped him amass a huge fan base. He just announced a super ambitious 115-date WORLD tour. Yes, he’s even popular in other countries. He proves that super good-looking people can also be very funny. Some have even called him “the new Dane Cook.” His newly announced tour sold out in minutes and now tickets for the shows are for sale on the secondary market for hundreds and in some cities, thousands of dollars.
He is bringing his ProbleMATTic World Tour to Philadelphia and playing The Met in April of 2024. Tickets are, well you guessed it, SOLD OUT!
Okay, but there’s still one more question. right? Why on Earth was he at the Phillies game? Because the Phillies said so, that’s why. Matt was in Bensalem, PA doing a show. Considering his fame, and also how close he was to the stadium already, the organization said, “Why not?” Let’s have a viral moment and give this kid even more of a boost in popularity.
Now enjoy Philadelphia. Do with this new Matt Rife information what you will. And follow him on social media if ya want. He IS dreamy after all.
