I found this dude on TikTok a while back and then stumbled on this special on YouTube shortly after it came out. I think he's one of the funniest new stand-up comics around. Stand-Up comedy felt pretty dry for a while. Last Comic Standing was putting out some quality comics for a while but nobody that makes me laugh like this guy. I like that he does great crowd work but without the Andrew Schulz level of straight up insulting. Matt Rife builds a whole bit around the crowd work. I also feel like I don't hear repetition in his jokes and he's not some one trick pony that focuses on the same stuff again and again. I hope he blows up and we get more from him!

The bad reviews are very strange. Perhaps he has some enemies out there or some jealous anti-fans because he is witty, mad-talented, and and also model-good looking. This young comedian is not afraid to cover controversial topics, and does so incredibly well. His crowd work is top-notch. His jokes are hilarious but also promote introspection. A lot of his content or "politics" cover the modern day's over-use of "cancel-culture", and how to step around that. He roasts all, but also often elevates and empowers the ones he is roasting. He points out the ridiculous stuff in today's world but also promotes compassion and kindness. I hope his career soars, and as it does he can keep his charm and humility.

I'm amazed at the bad reviews. I recently came across Matt on YT shorts (random suggestions as I like stand-up comedy) and his bits were always so funny that prompt me to search more about him. The man has a fantastic crowd work, and his take on things are fresh and incredibly funny. Gorgeous looking but humble and sweet, and way too wise for his years. He is only 24, and I can't imagine being that confident to approach the topics he does in the way he does. I have watched the special and tons of other things he did, and the man is hilarious. The special is a raw, low budget production and I loved the material. I watch him not for his looks (don't hurt thou) but because he makes me laugh, every single time. So for those vultures downvoting, you are pathetic. All his shows are all sold out, and even in London where I live, tickets have gone faster than I could get one. Downvote all you want, but his tour success proves you wrong. Go Matt, and please add more shows to London or come back soon!

I already knew Matt Rife from tiktok and really liked his jokes on there. However I decided to finally watch a full show and was greatly disappointed. He first goes on about how attractive he is, follows up by priding himself to never judge a book by its cover and ends with the 'joke' that virgins shouldn't be allowed to have guns because they are ugly? Maybe it's just me but this was just really uncomfortable to watch... It made me feel like a was watching a bully boast about his looks and beating others down because of their looks. There were certain jokes that were actually funny but not after going through all the bad ones.

I had no idea who this guy was until about an hour ago. I was actually quite impressed. Matt navigates the complexities of talking and joking about some of American society's most taboo subjects like a boss. He's unapologetically himself and displays his comedic prowess for all to see. Flaws and all. At first glance, you'd probably have no difficulty passing on this. You'd also be forgiven for thinking he wouldn't be funny just by looking at him. He's got that typical young, frat boy look about him. I mean he seriously looks like he'd be more comfortable in a Calvin Klein underwear ad than on stage doing stand up. Let's just say he's probably not having any trouble find eligible bachelorettes. But despite his good looks, he's a truly funny dude with some good moral fiber. I certainly look forward to watching more of him.

Uff. That was hard to watch. Couldn't finish. I wonder how much this guy pays for youtube comments and views. Decided to watch this today and wow...not funny at all. I read other reviews on youtube where people love the guy, which isn't fair. With that said, he doesn't come across as a bright guy at all. . Stand-up comedy doesn't seem to be his thing though.
