It’s officially Matt Rife’s birthday!
The comedian turns 31 today, and considering the year he’s having, there’s certainly a lot to celebrate. From selling out arenas across the country to becoming the youngest comedian ever to sell out Madison Square Garden, Rife has continued turning what was already an incredible career into something even bigger throughout 2026.
And somehow, he’s still just getting started. Matt is currently making his way across the country on his massive Stay Golden Tour, which continues through December 29th. Fans looking to celebrate his birthday can grab tickets to one of the remaining tour stops or head over to his official website to pick up some official merch.
Can’t make it to one of the many cities he’s visited, or still has left to visit? Well, there’s always 2027. Rife is taking his comedy to the ocean next February with Suite Rife on Deck, his first-ever comedy cruise.
The four-night experience sets sail from Miami on February 10th, 2027, heading to Grand Turk before returning on Valentine’s Day. So yes, you can literally celebrate Matt Rife’s next chapter while on vacation with Matt Rife. Not a bad backup plan.
Beyond the tours, sold-out arenas and everything else happening in his career, part of what has made Matt’s rise so fun to watch has been the moments along the way.
