Rife is 27 years old, and his first acting credit came back in 2014. He's played parts in TV shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Fresh Off The Boat, as well as parts in various small-budget films.

His "big break", in a sense, has come via his TikTok profile. Rife has accrued 14.2 million followers on his page, as well as 237.2 million likes on his videos. He almost exclusively posts videos of his stand-up comedy work, many of which have gone viral over the past few years, and garnered him a huge following as he continues his comedy career.

The announcement of the show date in Schenectady comes as part of a much larger announcement: a 100+ show, year-long world tour that will take Rife across the globe. It begins on July 20, 2023 in Bend, OR at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, and concludes on Friday, October 20, 2024 at Santeria Toscana 31 in Milan, Italy.

If you're planning on buying tickets, and you want to "study-up" on Matt's comedic work, you can watch his first YouTube stand-up special here, and his second YouTube stand-up special here.
