Matt Rife is set to take his comedy talent on the road with his upcoming Stay Golden tour, bringing laughter to fans across the Golden State in 2025. The talented comedian, who has gained significant recognition in the stand-up circuit in recent years, announced the tour on Tuesday.
The Stay Golden Tour will kick off on March 8 in Dallas, culminating in four performances in California. Rife will be performing at the Save Mart Arena in Fresno on April 12, followed by a show at Viejas Arena in San Diego on April 13. Later in the fall, he will return to California for two more shows: the Honda Center in Anaheim on October 18 and the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountainview on October 19. In addition to these California stops, Rife will also visit cities such as Honolulu, New York City, Montreal, Seattle, and St. Louis during his tour.
The final stop of the Stay Golden tour, at least for now, will be a highly anticipated New Year’s Eve performance at Boston’s TD Garden. Fans can look forward to general ticket sales starting Friday at noon local time, with an artist presale beginning the day before at noon.
Rife, who gained fame for his quick-witted crowd interactions that went viral on TikTok in 2022, has continued to rise in popularity. His stand-up special, “Matthew Steven Rife,” was released in April 2023, and he recently made his Netflix debut with “Matt Rife: Natural Selection” in November 2023.
This Ohio-born comedian achieved a major milestone by becoming the youngest stand-up to sell out the Hollywood Bowl during the Netflix Is a Joke Festival in May. His latest Netflix special, “Lucid: A Crowd Work Special,” premiered in August, showcasing his talents and solidifying his status in the comedy world.
Recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Rife is returning to the touring scene after completing his previous ProbleMATTic World Tour, which consisted of over 100 shows across two years and three continents. Despite facing challenges, including extreme exhaustion that caused him to cancel two Indiana shows, Rife’s commitment to his craft has never wavered. Reflecting on his career, he expressed that his achievements have exceeded his wildest dreams.
As he moves forward with the Stay Golden Tour, Matt Rife’s journey illustrates the transformative power of comedy and the joy it brings to both performers and audiences alike. Fans can eagerly anticipate what promises to be an unforgettable experience filled with laughter.
