Matt Rife is set to bring his highly anticipated Stay Golden comedy tour to California, kicking off in 2025. The tour will commence on March 8 in Dallas, with Rife performing in four California cities, beginning with Fresno’s Save Mart Arena on April 12, followed by a show in San Diego on April 13. Later in the year, he will return to California for performances at Anaheim’s Honda Center on October 18 and at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountainview on October 19.
In addition to his California performances, Rife’s tour will include stops in cities like Honolulu, New York City, Montreal, Seattle, and St. Louis, concluding with a spectacular New Year’s Eve show at Boston’s TD Garden. General ticket sales are set to begin on Friday, with an artist presale starting earlier on Wednesday.
Rife is rapidly becoming a formidable force in stand-up comedy, notable for his clever crowd interactions that gained him viral fame on TikTok in 2022. He has released popular specials, including “Matthew Steven Rife” and his most recent Netflix special “Matt Rife: Natural Selection,” which further cemented his reputation in the comedy world. Rife holds the distinction of being the youngest stand-up comedian to sell out the Hollywood Bowl during the Netflix Is a Joke Festival in May.
After an extensive and demanding ProbleMATTic World Tour, which featured over 100 dates across two years and three continents, Rife took a brief hiatus due to exhaustion. He candidly shared his struggles during this period and expressed gratitude for how far his career has come, admitting that he once only dreamed of selling out a small comedy club.
With the Stay Golden Tour on the horizon, Rife is poised to embark on another exciting chapter in his career, reflecting the passion and dedication he has for comedy.
This optimistic perspective on Rife’s journey highlights a trajectory filled with hard work, resilience, and the ability to turn challenges into stepping stones for success. Fans eagerly await what promises to be another memorable tour filled with laughter and unique comedy experiences.
