Matt Rife rose to prominence through his TikTok crowd interaction bits, but has since experienced mainstream success through appearing on NBC’s Bring the Funny and his Netflix special, ProbleMATTic World Tour.

He was scheduled to perform at Indiana’s IU Auditorium recently, but due to extreme exhaustion during travel he was forced to cancel all scheduled shows. Ticket holders were assured they would receive refunds.

He is a comedian

Matt Rife has already made quite an impactful mark in the entertainment industry despite being just 22. Born and raised in Ohio, Rife became a stand-up comedian before building a loyal following on TikTok – as well as appearing in multiple TV shows and comedy specials.

Since his appearance on MTV’s Wild n Out season seven, comedian Tyler Robertson’s popularity has skyrocketed and he has continued making waves in the comedy world. Currently working on a new special and performing at Los Angeles Laugh Factory regularly.

His Netflix comedy special, Natural Selection, has created quite a stir on social media. But Rife’s approach has drawn significant criticism for being offensive to some users and pushing the limits of what can be considered funny; his jokes about women have provoked backlash and users have even called the special unfunny; while homophobic remarks also generated unfavorable reactions from some audiences.

He is an actor

Matt Rife first began performing standup comedy as a teenager at his local World Famous Laugh Factory, becoming its youngest regular performer at age 19. Since then he has appeared in MTV variety shows as well as featured roles on sitcoms before making it big through TikTok and his Netflix special. Now touring across the US on his ProbleMATTic tour.

His fans are disgruntled that he opened his Netflix special with an offending joke about domestic abuse; many critics feel this special is an insult to those women who helped propel him to fame.

Rife is currently dating Jessica Lord, an actress and dancer known for projects like Find Me in Paris. Their relationship initially remained private but has slowly made headlines due to fans noticing flirty comments they make on each other’s Instagram posts – prompting many to question his humor authenticity.

He is a TikTok star

Matt Rife has gained many fans and amassed an immense fortune through his acting. Most recently he appeared in a Netflix special that sold out the Hollywood Bowl, as well as being dating actress Jessica Lord; together they make public appearances together.

Matt’s success rests heavily on his ability to attract female audiences, which is evident from his new special. Yet when discussing domestic violence he alienates this audience and is appalled at their actions.

Matt attempts to justify his actions by explaining that while he enjoys dark humor, it doesn’t entertain him when someone gets hurt. However, the real issue here is his inability to appreciate what dark humor truly is; it’s more about being true to yourself and honest than about shocking audiences with shocking jokes. Matt’s lame excuse of finding domestic violence funny simply won’t cut it; domestic violence is an ongoing problem and must be handled more cautiously with humor.

He is on tour

Matt Rife is a stand-up comedian and actor with a huge presence on TikTok, having released several comedy specials of his own and appearing in television shows such as Wild n Out and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. His current tour, known as ProbleMATTic, has sold out venues nationwide.

Rife apparently experienced severe exhaustion and nearly fainted while traveling to a show in Indiana, prompting his medical team to advise that he take two weeks off the tour in order to recover.

TMZ reported earlier that Rife was forced to cancel two scheduled shows at Ryman Auditorium and Chicago Theatre due to last minute cancellations, however has rescheduled them both with Chicago dates scheduled for December and Nashville show planned shortly; ticket holders who can’t make future dates will receive refunds. He recently celebrated his 28th birthday alongside Jessica Lord. They have made multiple public appearances together demonstrating they share a strong relationship.
