Matt Rife’s standup became huge on TikTok. He was so huge that Netflix gave him a comedy special. However, viewers trashed it. But it still was a huge sucess.
Therefore, Deadline says that the streaming service wants two more specials. Not only that, but he is also working on a workplace sitcom at a gym that he will star in.
Deadline says that one of the comedy specials will be all crowd involvement. Hopefully, that will go better than Natural Selection.
On October 4th, Matt Rife was performing in Orlando when a woman in the front row suddenly had a seizure. So, the comedian stopped the show and called for a paramedic to take care of her.
After five minutes, she was feeling fine, took a picture with him, and he went on with the show. But not after making fun of her. Because that is what he does. And she wasn’t leaving because tickets are not cheap.
I respect him for stopping the show and putting her needs first.
However, I do not respect the people who reached out to her and said she faked the seizure to make the show about her.
Before Matt Rife was judging his audiences, he was judging his classmate on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He looks the same now as when he was 23 in that 2019 episode.
Matt Rife has been doing comedy for about a decade. But he hit it big more recently by posting parts of his routines on social media, where he roasts audience members like Shemar Moore.
So much so that he sold out his ProbleMATTic World Tour in just two days.
Well, when Netflix heard that, they were like we need to record one of your 260+ dates and put it on our streaming site.
So, on September 22nd and 23rd, they will film him doing his thing at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC.
The comedian leaves no topic untouched, from crystals to social media trolls, and no audience member will be spared.
