ABOUT MATT RIFE:
Comedian/Actor/Producer/Writer/and NY Times Best Selling Author Matt Rife has cemented himself as one of biggest stand ups in the world through his chart-topping Netflix specials and his remarkable engagement on social media where he has amassed over 39.7 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 with the recently announced Matt Rife: Stay Golden Tour, which includes two shows at the famed Madison Square Garden in NYC.
On his ProbleMATTic World Tour last year, 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 this summer 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.
After the success of his tour, Rife signed on for a second world tour with Live Nation & a feature film, Rolling Loud, an R-rated comedy co-starring Owen Wilson and co-produced by Live Nation Productions and American High (set to release this year). As a result of all this success, Rife earned placement on the Forbes list for Forbes 30 under 30 in 2023 and top creators list in 2024.
Rife will soon be seen in the final season of the Netflix comedy series Mo, opposite Mo Amer, Hannibal Burress and others. The series is set to premiere globally, January 30th.
Originally 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 2021, Rife self-produced and distributed through YouTube his?first one-hour comedy special,?Only Fans. In April 2023, the comedian bet on himself again and self-released his second stand-up special,?Matthew Steven?Rifeon 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 a crowd work special, Walking Red Flag on YouTube, which has amassed over?13 million views.
On November 15th, 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 earned a Top 10 ranking in 42 countries including #1 in US, Canada, and South Africa.?Natural Selection?was the most viewed special on Netflix for the second half of 2023.? From the overwhelming success of his first Netflix special, Rife inked a two-special deal along with a development deal for a gym/workplace comedy series that he will write and star in. The deal with Rife included Netflix’s first ever crowd work special, Lucid, which debuted on?August 13th, 2024 and again cemented him in the top 10 most watched shows in 37 countries on the streamer for two weeks.
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?Fresh Off The Boat, NBC’s comedy competition show?Bring The Funny, and Netflix’s That 90’s Show.
