LEXINGTON, KY (SEPTEMBER 9, 2024) – Today, wildly popular comedian and actor Matt Rife announced the addition of an arena show in Lexington, KY on Saturday, December 7 at Rupp Arena on his ProbleMATTic World Tour.
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with presales beginning on Tuesday, September 10 at 10 AM local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, September 13 at 10 AM local time at MattRifeOfficial.comRuppArena.com, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Comedian/Actor/Producer Matt Rife has cemented himself as one of biggest stand ups in the world through his top performing Netflix special and his remarkable engagement on social media where he has amassed over 35.6 million followers, and more than 3 billion views globally is selling-out theaters and arenas around the globe and is currently on his biggest tour to-date with Live Nation, the Matt Rife: ProbleMATTic World Tour. Last fall, Rife sold out 4 shows at The Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where the Academy Awards are also 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. His current tour sold over 600,000 tickets in under 48 hours, to become 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, 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 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 a crowd work special, Walking Red Flag on YouTube, which has amassed over 13 million views. He also earned placement on the Forbes list for Forbes 30 under 30.
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 earning 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.
