We love you no matter what!” commented one user on X (formerly Twitter) on Rife’s post. Contrastingly, another user wrote: “I’ve flown all the way from Ireland TWICE to see you. So disappointed.” A third user typed: “Damn man can't believe you'd let your fans down like this for such selfish reasons. Super unprofessional. Maybe don't book shows you're gonna sketch out on?”
Matt Rife's career
Rife shot in terms of popularity through TikTok, where clips of him performing crowd work at his stand-up shows became viral amongst users. Times had described him as “just another struggling road comedian,” in 2022, which was followed by his spurt into the mainstream. He has 3 self-produced comedy specials: Only Fans (2021), Matthew Steven Rife (2023), and Walking Red Flag (2023). Rife landed a deal with Netflix for a comedy special called Natural Selection, which copped much flak for a domestic violence joke.
