Matt Rife announces 2025 comedy tour, ‘bigger and better shows’: See the dates
Stand-up comedian Matt Rife is gearing up for his next comedy tour, even though his current ProbleMATTic World Tour is still ongoing. He promises that this upcoming tour will be “bigger” than before.
This past Tuesday, Rife took to social media to express his excitement about the 2025 Stay Golden Tour, stating he is “thrilled to see y’all for even bigger and better shows.” In his announcement video, he remarked, “The greatest fans on earth made my biggest dreams come true,” reflecting on the approximately 700 performances he’s given in the last two years.
The North American leg of the Stay Golden Tour is set to kick off on March 8 in Dallas, wrapping up on December 31 in Boston, featuring 30 scheduled dates. A unique “special taping” will take place during his September performances in Austin, Texas.
Rife’s current tour is set to conclude at the end of December with a series of shows in Chicago that had been pushed back earlier this year due to Rife facing “extreme exhaustion symptoms.”
The 29-year-old is well-known for his quick wit and crowd interactions. After two successful stand-up specials on YouTube and last year’s Netflix special titled “Matt Rife: Natural Selection,” he has amassed a considerable fan following. However, he’s also faced some criticism.
As his popularity skyrocketed, Rife received backlash over a joke he made regarding domestic violence victims, which he later addressed with what some considered a “fake apology,” referring critics to a website that marketed “special needs helmets,” leading to accusations of ableism.
The “Wild ‘N Out ” veteran is also set to publish a memoir this December. The book will explore his journey to becoming a prominent figure in comedy before turning thirty, including candid stories that range from competitive rap battles with former convicts to his personal battles with depression and various setbacks on his rise to fame.
