Comedic icon Matt Rife is closing out the year with another record-breaking moment! Just days before releasing his newest Netflix special, which dropped today, he set a massive attendance record at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on November 29th, where 20,529 fans packed the venue. It officially became the largest crowd to ever watch a comedy show at the arena… king behavior!
Now, the heartthrob is taking that momentum straight to Netflix with Matt Rife: Unwrapped — A Christmas Crowd Work Special, directed by Erik Griffin and filmed in Phoenix, Arizona. The holiday-themed special captures Rife in full chaotic seasonal glory, rocking Santa pants, unhinged charm, and plenty of sexually-charged crowd work that only he can pull off. Consider it your new favorite holiday tradition.
To celebrate the launch, he teamed up with two absolute icons for a surprise promo video: Home Alone legend Macaulay Culkin and Netflix’s reigning reformed bad boy Charlie Sheen. Yes, it is exactly as unhinged and hilarious as it sounds.
Unwrapped is festive, messy, flirty, and just the right amount of wrong; in other words, peak Matt Rife. The perfect holiday watch for anyone who needs a little comedy with their candy canes.
Stream “Matt Rife: Unwrapped — A Christmas Crowd Work Special” on Netflix now.
