Matt Rife on His New Special, TikTok & The Comedy Store | About Last Night Podcast with Adam Ray 

Just randomly stumbled into this world of Matt Rife with his self-titled set, and I have spent the last week watching any and every clip, special, interview, whatever!! Guy is fukkn HILARIOUS. 100% YES!

I ve never cared for stand up comedy until I came across Matt rife. God I love him he's my hero

Aaawww you can see hear and feel the love MR has for his 🙏🏾Gpaw🙏🏾.

He is so damn impressively intelligent, sharp, sweet, and real... That's why he resonates so well with almost everyone. Super quick wit, incredible timing, and he's literally the scrawny kid that lived next door that we all giggled at, and turned into a prince while we're still pushing 9-5. His grandfather has to be up there watching him, smiling and still punching holes waist high in plaster walls... Keep it coming Matt, we all need the laughs!

I love how genuine and excited he is to talk about grandpa steve. You can tell how he loves him. Matt talks about him like a mom talks about their babies. It's so real

I am a 70 years young female and I love Matt! His humor spans all ages! His quick wit is the BEST!! 😂❤😂😊

What a guy. RIP Steve.

Just discovered Matt.❤,wish him all the best and all good things to come his way 💕Also prayers 🙏 for his Grandpa.

You gotta respect his dedication...it's almost unheard of these days to see someone his age working so hard..that's what makes me such a fan of this guy.....pure admiration

JUST discovered Matt Rife through my daughter's friend and absolutely adores his work. Just when I think I have watched everything, I am blessed with another clip. Great new comedian.

Matt's crowd work is just impeccable and funny .. ..😊😊😊😊😊😊..

The part where Matt said he couldn't sell out a one night show in June in St Louis was heartbreaking- I discovered Matt a couple of months ago. His shows in St Louis in November 23 sold out in minutes

I just adore Matt. His hard work and dedication isn't something a lot of people have anymore. I laugh so hard when I watch his specials and the clips of his crowd work are so good. As a mama of an autistic kid I thought the joke with the other ASD mom was hilarious. My sister and I joke about my son all the time in a dark humor way. I would lay down my life for my son, but damn being an ASD mom is hard and I need to laugh at the hand I've been dealt or I'll cry. I appreciate Matt not being afraid of that! Hearing him talk about his grandpa brought tears to my eyes. It's obvious he's so proud to be his grandson and also still so tremendously hurt by his loss. Just want to give him a hug.😢

I've watched all of the podcasts with Matt and this one is truly the best. The best because it's not all about Matt's looks and girls. It's real, it's deep. Great job.

Hearing Matt talking about his relationship with his grandfather really made my heart happy. I am so beyond happy that you were blessed to be a part of his death journey even if it was short. It really hit home for me, a week before my birthday my great grandmother passed away. I had felt guilty for not visiting more often because I was states away at college with no car or money for a flight. So I got to talk to her in hospice but she was practically passed at that point. Now my great grandfather; someone who taught me a lot of what I know and has blessed me with my work ethic and my humor - has dementia and doesn't even remember that I am his great grandchild, he doesn't remember that he wrote my growth chart, he doesn't remember that his wife is dead, and even though it breaks my heart for him to ask me how I met my own mother I can't stress enough how much I appreciate I can still have a conversation with the greatest man I know. I just want to say that carrying your grandfather with you is a guarantee that he will always be with you. Cherish and live in those memories with him and he will never fade away. Much love xoxo

61 year old here. I stumbled upon Matt's Fans Only about a month ago and I've watched everything I could find. The boy is funny AF . Keep us laughing Matthew!!!

I wanna talk history with matt lol forreal seems like a genuine guy that could have real conversations lol

I watch Matt's tiktoks and yt videos, ithink i think he's great, the audience interactions are imprccable, i can't stop laughing .. ..😂😂😂😂😂😂..

Matt has a pure heart! 😂

It's so interesting how Matt's face looks different when he is talking just as himself compared to when he is in his stage persona. ❤

Hearing Matt talk about his grandpa again brought tears to my eyes. What an awesome relationship they had.

I didn't know Matt before a few short months ago when he started showing up in RU-vid comedy... he hooked me with his pretty boy skit and he's a funny guy. It's amazing what a little self confidence can do to a life, he's absolutely bloomed, and again, he's a funny, funny man and I'm excited about hearing what he's got to say about life, going forward. Good on ya Matt, stroll on...

Rip Steve❤ My grandfather passed away in November 2022 too, I relate alot to the bond and friendship Matt had with his papaw

Your very gifted and your my favorite comedian! I've been watching your specials and interviews, podcasts and sit here LMAO and my dog stares at me like... WTH Mom 😉🙂 Thank You and Your Grandpa is watching you and so, so proud of you!

I'm not really on tiktok but stay on RU-vid. I love stand up and so glad I watched your 2 specials!

Matt comes across as such an intelligent, sound guy, never mind the treble threat of humour, sweetness and chunka hunk! ❤😂😂

We love Matt in this house! I would so adopt this kid. He's freaking hilarious.

Man Adam, you are so good at bigging people up. I love you so. much. Love your pod and your comedy. Amazing person! ❤

His self production sounds like JO KOY. he was throwing his own comedy venue shows with his sisters and brother in law and also made this huge iconic stage prop of his name . it looked so professional!

I don't even think I could conversate with Matt lmfao. He's unnaturally good looking, and super talented.. it's overwhelming. 😂

Matt confirming social media is toxic crp but as an artist, is wholly needed to have a career is really honest. There is a difference between being an egotistical f boy and an artist. His interest in honing the craft is what makes the make. Having one person to believe in you is all it takes. His relationship with his grandpa shows that you can suffer loss but just that one person , who makes time for you, see's your talent and supports without doubt, it is what will push you through life. Great interview.

You’re hysterical and I love how you handle the hecklers and fans.

This was such a great interview. I love how much you get to know about Matt and his rise to success. 🤩

OmG 😂 Matt’s g-paw story was so lovely. It explains why he’s such a sweet guy.

I love how sweet Matt is re his grandfather. So beautiful! 😢

U 2 have to be my top comedians right now love both of your energies

Thanks for interviewing Matt! I'm a huge fan of the paranormal and became a fan of Matt, when he went Ghost hunting with the TFIL Overnight Crew at the Cecil Hotel.

Watched the special and just loved it. 🔥 Matt is a 🌟

Matt your hilarious. I could listen to you all day. Your so funny 😂

I love your chats with him, I could listen to him talk for hours.

Saw Matt’s Netflix special and have watched everything I could find since, reminds me of the good old days like Frankie Boyle who just wants to show his audience a good time refusing to walk on eggshells to do it

Love your chats you shouldn’t leave it so long between you two catching up. So much has happened! Congratulations

Matt looks like the high school senior that would would slide into your school email, but ignore you in the hallways 😂

absolutely love this so much!!

Soooo wish I could see him tonight in Huntsville, AL. SOLD OUT

Dang Matt, I am so inspired by your storytelling. You really got a good thing goin'

Love hearing the affection between them 👏

What a better interview than last year by Adam! Also, wish St. Louis had given Matt a better time- we are not on his tour now ahh! Anyone in the STL want to help petition our clubs :)

His new special is so amazing. ❤

Get Matt Rife on christories!! Those 2 would be awesome and both history nerds!🎉

Matt it was awesome to watch the podcast. I found it pretty ironic that you talked about your Grandpa Steve bc I am a new fan (about 1 month now) and my first view of you was the “pocket pussy” gift for your grandpa. I laughed my ass off! If I was ever able to see you I would be throwing one at ya! Lol

“Social media is the most unhealthy thing…it’s worse than sugar” Soooo wholesome 🥰

great interview, so candid

I’m 23 minutes in I’ve watched all of of videos on RU-vid crowed work is the best I think it makes it funnier 😂 love you guys!!

Matt’s so good, it hurts. ❤🎉

Just bought tickets for his show of May 2024. Can’t wait!!!

"Cave paintings in there?" I'm dying.. I can't! I truly love the podcast... you intrigue me so much.

I remember when Dane Cook first blew up. I can see some of his style in you. You connect and make people anticipate what you'll come out with next.

Great interview,,, I love Matt, you're pretty awesome too!

I set an alarm to get presale tickets for Matt today and still missed it. I’m sad. Love you both!

It's good to see proper comedy making a come back 👍👍👍👍 it's been too long with them scared comics trying to please the massis love from the uk

I love this podcast 😂❤😊

Saw him for the first time on Sharp tongue podcast. Such a smart quick comic!!

I'm such a fan, all the way from Ethiopia! Maybe one day you will tour Africa, who knows!

Matt is so fricken funny! I love how he’s so real and toss’s all the PC, BS! I think that’s what makes me more real!

Love watching Matt ! He’s awesome ! Can’t find his new special on here Urghh

Watching your special now. Pretty F*ckin great content. I'm excited to see what more you have. Would love to see you on more podcasts too. "Take You Shoes Off" - "Bad Friends" - "Honeydew" - "Your Moms House" - "Whiskey Ginger" - and more! Would just be good content!

You had me at Falkor

Adam I have never seen your podcast, I saw that it was Matt Rife and thought I would like to know more about him. I love how you interact with who you are chatting with you have this gift of making people want to talk. I'm going to check out your comedy next! It's hard for me to find someone who makes me belly laugh (like the scene from Step Brothers with the bunk beds) 😂I'm in tears every time! Not that I'm a comic critic or anything, Matt makes me laugh like that. Matt I'm sorry to say that I just found you 2weeks ago, by the algorithm of you tube. A few months ago I was scrolling and saw the title "Daughters are Mean" (or something like that) by Leanne Morgan on Dry Bar Comedy. I have an 11 year old daughter so I immediately clicked on it and was in stitches and I have been watching a lot of comedy lately, stand up anyway. So I was watching some shorts and you were there, I assume you were in Pittsburgh because I remember you talking about the cemetery being beside the children's hospital. I watched all your shorts, I watched your first hour long special Only Fans, just finished MSR last night. You make me laugh so hard, it's like watching a younger, more energetic version of my husband. He has a dark sense of humor exactly like yours. So I just wanted you to know from a 42 year old woman I know you are hilarious. I love how you work the crowd and make them feel included, I also appreciate that you take the time to not only get everyone to laugh by making them understand that it's ok to laugh at shit when it's funny, but you also explain things like when you were doing the bit about comparing trans gender and people in wheelchairs. I was dying not only because your funny as hell but because your right too many people have tight assholes they need to loosen up and laugh! Being married to a man whose sense of humor is dark, he's quick witted and very sarcastic for sure has it's advantages you guys make life a lot of fun and funnier!! I'm sorry for your loss of your Papaw, I know that feeling better than anyone. I have ADHD and one of the things is I don't have any concept of time. Let me explain: what happened 20+ years ago feels like yesterday especially things like death of close family. Or I can't judge how long something will take me very well. I was very close to my Grandfather too, my Papap. Every weekend, every holiday break, every summer that's where I was. We would lay on the couch and watch TV shows or movies. He would tell me stories about the war, and what he did. Now I love history and I love learning about WW2 . The pain will go away, it did for me but I never stop missing him or thinking about him. You definitely should take some time to grieve, so that it doesn't fester and come out in a way that you don't intend it to and so you don't get stuck. Always stay true to who you are don't let fame dull your shine or make you a douche bag. You genuinely are a nice guy. I can not wait to be able to see you live! 🤞 You come closer to Pittsburgh, I was trying to get tickets to the show (it's on the eastern side of PA) but I think I was late to the party 😞 but I'm going to keep trying, I can not wait!!! ❤I LOTS By the way, I would be willing to take your phone calls about your exciting news, I'm great at being the encouragement too! OH, and I know your Papaw would be so freaking proud of you and be laughing hysterically at all of your jokes!

Matt.. As we Jamaicans would say, "big up yuself"... One Love!

hell yess!!

Steve reminds me of my dad, he passed away end of 2020. Miss him!

Never heard of this guy. Of course I’m gonna tune in. Looks wise jeez he got the lucky genes that’s for sure. Love the show!

Dude your intro alone is worth the like!

Only found out about Matt recently. He is funny.

I honestly hope Matt makes it to the Ford Museum outside of Detroit - the chair Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot is there, which surprised us when we went. Sounds like he'd appreciate it.

Comedy Central and Netflix just have shitty taste. Some of the ppl that make it on there now are boring. I always laugh at your specials! Younger comedy and my old ass still laughs out loud at work. Understand the love you have for your grandpa and getting to grow up with that humor and support! RIP Grandpa Steve!

I love him and don’t even know him lol i tired buying tickets in Pittsburgh PA and it was sold out in 5 minutes 😢 I hope to see you one day in person at your show 🤗

I love Matt rife!!❤❤

The way I would make milf, I mean milk and cookies for this man... 😂😂

I didn't know his grandpa passed!💔 Loved the video, though, thank you for posting!

Yes!! Come to Detroit !!

I enjoy his crowd work best, but his specials are good. Cool to see him from Wild N Out to this, realizing late that he was a comedian first.

I remember watching Matt on bring the funny !

YES! Come to Detroit!!

1:18 I think it’s so funny that he doesn’t have enough time and/or forgot to do an into and he just took his phone out and recorded it on his way to his hotel room

Your intro made me sub 😂❤🎉

With in the last week I’ve been watching Matt Rife

Add more shows in Milwaukee please!

not the chattanooga shoutout lmao

Hahaha well you got us Dirty 30! Luv u Matt. RIP Grandpa Steve ❤️

The way Matt’s eyes squint and glimmer when he’s listening to someone is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
