Matt Rife is set to bring his new “Stay Golden” comedy tour to the West Coast, particularly to California, in an exciting series of performances. The 29-year-old comedian, who has gained significant attention in the stand-up world in recent years, announced his tour will kick off on March 8, 2025, in Dallas.
The tour includes several dates in California, starting with a show in Fresno at the Save Mart Arena on April 12, followed by a performance in San Diego at Viejas Arena on April 13. In the fall, Rife will return for two more gigs: one at the Honda Center in Anaheim on October 18 and another at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountainview on October 19. Aside from his California shows, Rife will also visit various cities including Honolulu, New York City, Montreal, Seattle, and St. Louis.
Rife’s tour will culminate in a special New Year’s Eve performance at TD Garden in Boston. Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday at noon local time, with an exclusive presale for fans beginning Wednesday at noon.
Rife has captured audiences with his quick wit and crowd work, which surged in popularity on TikTok in 2022. He has since solidified his status as a prominent performer with his special “Matthew Steven Rife,” released in April 2023, and his Netflix debut “Matt Rife: Natural Selection,” which came out in November 2023. Notably, he made history this year by becoming the youngest comedian to sell out the Hollywood Bowl during the Netflix Is a Joke Festival.
Despite facing challenges during his extensive “ProbleMATTic World Tour,” which featured over 100 shows across two years and three continents, Rife remains optimistic about his career. He previously shared that the demanding schedule took a toll on his health, leading to the cancellation of shows in Indiana due to “extreme exhaustion.” Reflecting on his journey, Rife expressed gratitude for the unexpected success of his career, stating that selling out even a single comedy club was once a lofty goal for him.
As Rife embarks on this new chapter with the “Stay Golden” Tour, it is evident that he is not only thriving as a comedian but also inspiring others with his rise in the entertainment world. His story serves as a reminder that with hard work and dedication, unexpected success is possible.
