Hugely popular comedian Matt Rife today announced his 2025 Stay Golden Tour, where he will perform in the biggest and most iconic venues of his career. Produced by Live Nation, the 32-city arena and amphitheater tour kicks off on Saturday, March 8 in Dallas, TX and includes his only Florida date and debut appearance at Orlando’s Kia Center on Sunday, December 14. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 22 at 12 p.m. ET. 

Artist Pre-sale: The artist pre-sale begins Wednesday, November 20 at 12 p.m. ET. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general public on-sale.

The Stay Golden Tour follows Rife’s wildly-successful ProbleMATTic World Tour, which saw the comedian sell over 600,000 tickets across 250+ shows in less than 48 hours, following the announcement in June 2023. The multi-year tour included shows across North America, Europe, the UK and Australia.

Comedian, actor, producer, writer and author Rife brings forth his refreshingly genuine presence along with elevated material that is quick witted and vulnerable. From a small town near Columbus, OH, he started performing at the age of 15 then moved out to Los Angeles two years later where he began his career in Hollywood. He has now 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 39.4 million followers and more than 3 billion views globally.

In 2021, Rife self-produced his first one-hour comedy special, “Only Fans,” which he distributed through YouTube and in April 2023, he released his second YouTube special, “Matthew Steven Rife,” which he dedicated to his biggest role model, his grandfather Steven who had recently passed. On November 15, 2023, he released his first Netflix special, “Matt Rife: Natural Selection,” which accumulated over 10.3 million views in its first two weeks, becoming the most-viewed special on the streaming platform in the latter half of 2023. Rife's incredible success opened the door to a lucrative two-special deal with Netflix, which included a development deal for a groundbreaking gym/workplace comedy series that he will both write and appear. The partnership also featured Netflix's first-ever crowd work special, “Lucid,” which premiered on August 13, 2024, quickly entering the top 10 most-watched shows in 37 countries on the platform for two weeks. 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 in 2023 and top creators list in 2024. 

Rife is set to take on a leading role in “Rolling Loud,” an R-rated comedy co-produced by Live Nation Productions, which will be filmed at the renowned hip-hop festival of the same name this winter. The film is written and directed by Jeremy Garelick (“Murder Mystery 2”) through his company, American High. The UTA Independent Film Group is handling worldwide rights for the project, which is scheduled for release next year.

This December, Rife will release his first book, “Your Mom’s Gonna Love Me,” a memoir from Simon & Schuster. In his book, he reveals (without apology, of course) what led him to becoming comedy’s biggest lightning rod before he reached 30 years old, in a story full of bold and hysterical takes on everything from rap battles with ex-cons to his struggles with depression and his many brushes with failure before finally hitting it big.

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 “Total Request Live” (TRL) and appearing on ”The Challenge.” Other credits include ABC’s “Fresh Off The Boat,” NBC’s comedy competition show “Bring The Funny” and Netflix’s “That 90’s Show.”
