Matt Rife is set to captivate audiences in California with his new Stay Golden comedy tour, which will commence in 2025. The popular comedian, who has gained significant traction in the stand-up circuit, revealed his touring plans this past Tuesday.
Kickstarting the tour on March 8 in Dallas, Rife is scheduled to perform multiple shows in California, featuring stops in Fresno and San Diego on April 12 and 13, respectively. He will revisit the Golden State later in the year for shows on October 18 at Anaheim’s Honda Center and October 19 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountainview. The comedian will also travel to other cities, including Honolulu, New York City, Montreal, Seattle, and St. Louis, before concluding the tour with a New Year’s Eve performance at Boston’s TD Garden.
Rife’s rise to fame can be attributed to his sharp crowd work, which took TikTok by storm in 2022. His popularity surged with the release of his special “Matthew Steven Rife” in April 2023, followed by his Netflix debut “Matt Rife: Natural Selection” in November 2023. Notably, he is recognized for being the youngest stand-up comedian to sell out the Hollywood Bowl during the Netflix Is a Joke Festival.
After an extensive 100-date ProbleMATTic World Tour that spanned two years and three continents, Rife canceled a few Indiana shows due to extreme exhaustion. Reflecting on his health scare, he acknowledged the physical demands of touring, stating he felt “legitimately dying” at one point. However, he remains grateful for the trajectory of his career, surpassing his own expectations.
With anticipation building for the Stay Golden Tour, Rife’s journey in comedy has transformed into something greater than he had ever imagined, marking an exciting new chapter for the young talent.
This tour promises to be an engaging experience for fans, showcasing Rife’s comedic growth and ability to connect with audiences. As he moves forward, his relentless passion for stand-up and commitment to entertaining will undoubtedly continue to resonate with audiences nationwide.
