Comedy Store Legacy Meets Modern Stand-Up

The Comedy Store has hosted comedy’s greatest legends for decades. Matt Rife joins that prestigious tradition with his current sold-out run. The Main Room capacity ensures an intimate setting for his high-energy stand-up style.

This venue launch kicks off his West Coast momentum before heading to venues across the country. The Main Room stage provides the perfect platform for his renowned improvisation and audience interaction that define his performances.

From 15-Year-Old Open Mic to Arena Headliner

Matt Rife’s journey began in Columbus, Ohio, where he hit the open mic stage at 15 years old. His rapid rise through comedy clubs caught the attention of industry veterans like Dane Cook and Ralphie May.

By 2015, he joined MTV’s Wild ‘N Out at just 20 years old, becoming one of the youngest comedians on the show. This exposure accelerated his career into sold-out tours, Netflix specials, and international performances across Australia, Scotland, Singapore, and more.

Stay Golden Tour Dominates 2026 Schedule
