What do you think of Matt Rife?

I am a 67 year old Brit and and this chap popped up on my KZfaq feeds. All I can say is that he is brilliant in everything he does and makes me laugh continually. Thank God his grandad saw his potential and encouraged him to pursue this path. Keep going Matt - you bring a ray of sunshine into peoples lives and that is priceless.

His crowd work is so good. It's beyond description. He's very relatable And he's witty! He deserves so much for giving us!

One thing we all should have learned from the loss of Robin Williams is that comedians can have struggles as well and we need to have the same compassion for them as we would have for anyone else. Regardless of attractiveness or charisma.

without getting into too much details, this man, right or wrong literally saved my life, his comedy and crowd work are awesome, when im at my lowest

This is what is American Dream is made of. Hard work, talent, drive. Matt has all of that.

If Matt hadn't made it as a comedian, I'm sure he'd have gone far in modeling...

Matt Rife is WAY MORE TALENTED than Dane Cook ever was. He is crushing it already! I wish him continued success.

I like the added Mental health line add at the end. It's fair to say that many people go through struggles and Matt isn't different. Love his work and hope he continues to grow.

Matt is so authentic, funny and real. He says things out loud we think and don't say. He has a big heart and acknowledges that his comedy is to make us laugh, not to hurt anyone. If you go to his show or watch him, you know what to expect from him and shouldn't be offended. He is hilarious, so intelligent and informed. I find him to actually be quite shy and conservative outside of his work. He brightens my day every day!

That bit about the PTSD and anxiety you feel as a result of your first bad panic attack causing additional panic attacks hit home. That's no joke. People will never understand how bad panic attacks can be until you have them yourself. I legitimately thought I was dying the first time it happened. It was absolutely awful. I was so anxiety-ridden in the following days that I had two more panic attacks. All three attacks resulted in ER visits. In the moment, I was convinced the hospital was wrong and even passed out multiple times before being seen. I(when I was younger) got a lot of hate because others thought I was attractive so they had to bring me down. I'm not saying this with arrogance. I have self-esteem and confidence issues even at 37 years old because of my childhood trauma. All of this just help me relate to Matt Rife even more. I know he's a good dude and I'm really happy to see his success.

He seems like such a genuine person I really hope the universe continues to bless him in his success ❤

Matt is the first comic to make me laugh, really laugh, since Robin Williams died. I will be forever grateful to him for that. He's a ray of sunshine for me on a rainy life. I'm with you Matt! Only you can bring you down....Others are just noise...

Matt is the funniest person! I also have clinical depression and anxiety. The struggle is real. Go far Matt! We love you! You have great talent!❤

Thanks goes out to Matt because he's very talented, gifted, hardworking, transparent & wise. Good luck to him in every single 1 of his endeavors because he deserves it & has my respect.✝️🙏🏼💖😎

I think I like him more now. I already thought he was funny , but he's a self made man 🇺🇲 that's 'merica

He got his eyes from his late grandpa. Such wonderful human beings 🌱

Rife is a very talented comedian, I wish him nothing but success and happiness in his future! 💜

I love watching Matt perform! He definitely has me laughing to the point of bellyaching laughter! I’ve been told that most comedians & therapists are on antidepressants!! And that’s a good thing! You have to take care of yourself first then help others with your wit & knowledge!! 😊 This world needs more laughter!!! ❤

THIS LIVING PROOF....THAT YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES......YOU ARE DEFINED BY HOW YOU HANDLE THEM💯💯. KEEP PUSHING FORWARD.....THAT IS WHAT WINNERS DO💯💯

He’s great. Funny. Humble. Glad he’s getting recognition now. 💜

Just saw Matt's movie!!!! Awesome coming to theaters in December. Its called dont suck . I am friends with the writer

He's funny, cute, down to earth, well rounded young man. I like him.

All too sad! He’s not alone, & I do appreciate more of his humanity shining through whenever it does! ❤

I'm curious why his friend turned his back on him and Dane cook as well. Matt I can tell is a man with a good Heart. He definitely is a Rising Star. Wishing him Prosperity, Good Health, and Happiness. For many many years to come.

I think that if you can find laughter in some of your tragedy it's possibly the only positive way to get through rough times.. i enjoy alot of his comedy.. honestly i did not know all these things about him.. it makes me have a deeper understanding and respect for him..nobody gets an easy ride in this life and if you do then you are surely blessed..

I'm sorry about your grand pa ,don't give up on your dreams Matt ,I'm sur you gonna go a long way ❤

Wow. I thing it’s pretty amazing what he has accomplished. I’m so glad he talks about the mental health issues. I’ve seen some of his clips and I found him hilarious.

I Love his humanity,and his humor 🤩

Matt, do your thing brother!! Obviously nothing stood in the way of perusing your dreams!! Just step right over the haters trying to stop you cuz their career didn’t go where they wanted it to!! Much respect!!

I am going to be 58 next month. I just discovered Matt!! I love him. He makes me laugh and some videos I cry with him or for him. My daughter takes care of me and I send Matt’s clips to her. ❤. I have suffered from severe depression, anxiety and PTSD from the age of 9. First time in my life I have been able to share this. 🤗🥰💙

I feel like he grew up fast and with more pain than we know. Hes been hurt and feels deeply turned his pain into laughter. Great dude love his bravery and sense of humor

I watch him on TikTok I think he's pretty funny. An quick with any type of comeback. I wish him all the luck. He's pretty good!!

This is so heartbreaking. He deserves the world.

I discovered Matt 3 days ago. I'm off work injured. I believe I have seen everything. Good luck Matt. I have not gone through what you have. Definitely shows the mettle of a man.

He's so funny and he is definitely good looking, he was a beautiful man before surgery too. Learning he's also human and struggles makes him easier to connect with. What a cool dude.

I'm so very proud of Matt! Keep your head up Matt, and keep reaching for the stars!

JUST LOVE HIS SHORTS! Would give anything to see a full show! Panic attacks are common. Hang in there, you'll be ok! Love you.

It’s only recently that I discovered Matt Rife. I adore him and love forwarding his KZfaq clips to my mom, family and friends.

I love watching this guy! He's soo funny. When I start feeling down I put on anything he's done and start feeling better he's saved me a few times. Thanks Matt, you'll never know how you helped me

Love his stand up work . Can’t wait to see him live !

I adore Matt! When I'm not feeling like I think I should, I come on to KZfaq and I pull up any comedy that he has on here. It puts me in the best mood and I can make it through my day. 😂 It's an easy way to laugh while I cry...

Matt Rife is very funny. My first time seeing him was a few days ago. Was searching for comedians to watch, and Matt popped up. He held my attention thought-out the whole show. Keep up the good work. Wishing you the best of luck in the comedy field. Looks forward in seeing more of your work ❤❤❤

Matt Rife is funnier than Dane Cook ever was or will EVER be!!!

Matt!! Keep it going!! You make me Laugh! Your style is different! Keep it going! You make me smile! My friend pass and just watching you make jokes made sunshine for me!

For all that you have been through in your life you are Absolutely an Amazing Man ❤ Always be you ❤ Never be Less The World Needs Laughter ❤ The World Needs You ❤ ❤❤ BIG HUGS ❤❤❤

Matt looks nothing like his “father “ . And this dude has been hustling since he was 14.

Matt is a survivor!!! Love him!!!❤

Matt Rife is funny AF! Keep pushing Matt, and keep making people laugh! #Respect

I struggle with anxiety, panic attacks and major depression, I started watching Matt and this helped me so much. All the best to him❣️❣️❣️

I love that people are liking matt nowadays. Love him so much

VERY PROUD OF MATT RIFE

He is very talented and i'm positive he's only going to get better as he matures and hones his craft. He's extremely likable never mind how gorgeous he is.

I see Matt as a strong young man who kept going even when he was ready to quit. He kept chasing his dream. I see him going way beyond comedy.

He's the Eminem of his own craft. I can see that and I respect that!

Thanks for sharing this. We really need to keep a close eye on this guy. We've lost too many comedians, and we definitely don't want to lose him. He's a talented comedian and entertainer, and I'm surprised it took him so long to gain fame. I'm glad he's all over KZfaq and soon to be on Netflix; he deserves it all. Regarding the comment below claiming he's no Dave Chappelle - what an absolutely dumb thing to say! He doesn't need to be Dave Chappelle, and there are various styles of comedy. Imagine if we had a hundred other comedians just imitating Dave Chappelle - how would that benefit the world or Dave Chappelle himself? Sorry for the rant, but that comment really irked me. This world no longer appreciates uniqueness, but if a million people did the same silly dance or challenge on TikTok, that would get a million views.

I hope he finds his true happiness along the way. Not being able to share the money, success and joy with close family can be often leave a big hole in one's heart.

I am one who suffers anxiety and panic attack, you're humour calms me, thank you, bless xx

Comedians usually have content which they have practiced over and over and they use what works for them onstage. Matt is very unique in that he is so spontaneous and totally interactive with the audience. If anyone can beat the cancel culture it's Matt. He's personal with the audience and he will survive because of it. You go Matt! Don't ever look back!

The only thing I can say is that I hope he doesn’t fall into the Hollywood BS! He’s real and relates to everyone one way or another. Keep being real Matt and you’ll go to the Top!! Thanks for the laughs!!!

He's actually a super nice dude. I went to school with him. He'd visit us in the special needs class. It was cool and to see him now is awesome. Hey Matt if you see this it's Justin Allen from triad.

❤Matt Rife sending prayers and love to him. He is awesome. Love his sense of humor and his kind heart. Eye candy that makes you laugh all in good humor ❤

Matt had it rough. S happy he has success now❤

We love Matt here in tribe of The Powhatan Nation Of American Indians

This guy is hilarious , I normally don't like comedians until I saw him. Love him!!

I am a huge comedy fan and it's so hard to think that the really funny ones could be anything but happy all the time for many of them the opposite is true. I first Watched Matt Rife only recently and immediately took a liking to him. He exuded confidence, he interacted with his audience and he is so quick to respond to anything that anyone said. I have seen a few videos of him now and I haven't seen him falter, or have a joke that dies. I wish him all the best, he has made me laugh many times in the short time I have been aware of him, Thank You Matt from my Whole heart, I don't go for that bottom of my heart stuff.

I really enjoy Matt's shows. He's definitely a funny guy - and he's super quick with the audience making his crowd work extra special. I hope he can last a long time in the comedy business and hopefully will continue to venture out into acting to keep his options coming. Lord knows we all need something to laugh at these days!!! To Matt & anyone suffering with panic attacks - best advice I ever got was - when you start feeling that anxiety build or it sneaks up on you and you're knee deep in a panic attack - start singing. Yes. Sing. Out loud. Doesn't have to BE loud - just sing the words. The singing will interrupt the intrusive thoughts AND the singing the words out loud will also interrupt the hyperventilating breathing you are likely doing! I have issues with getting lost while driving and driving unfamiliar places ( fearing I might get lost). This 'trick' has worked for me SO many times! Next time that horrible feeling is coming on - start singing whatever songs you know! I hope it helps you.

He is nothing short of amazing. I saw him in person and I watch him as much as I can on KZfaq and whatever device there’s no one like him he’s a rising superstar.❤😂❤

Thank god for his grandfather believing in him and buying 5 tickets.

He can easily be another Roseann Barr. His wit is relatable and on some molecular level his strength of character shows through. I have watched many of his videos. I would love to see him on the big screen in a comedy/murder mystery like "Clue". I think he would be great.

Well said about narcissism vs narcissist traits. The term narcissism gets thrown around and no one actually knows what it means.

He is a very outstanding young man

his crowd work is very good, I'm not sure how his experience in Wild n out had an impact on how quick he is. Anyway, it's good we get to know more about him

He's pretty open about liking older women.

I am a 57 year old woman, and I love Matt Rife! I heard some people were offended by some of his jokes he told on his Netflix special. They are just jokes people! Sometimes, it helps to make jokes regarding controversial and uncomfortable topics! I think he is an incredible comedian and really seems to be a sincerely good person! ❤

I freaking love Matt Rife he's so hilarious

Great, or even good comedians Never come from nothing and nowhere...there's almost always pain behind the funny. Just like all of us...they just deal with it Funnier. Pretty privilege is all well and good, but it won't stop the tigers at night. I'm happy for Matt's success, quick or not. He seems like the genuine article

Matt is a very talented amd funny man.

First see in ralphie May on last comic standing he was absolutely funny as heck I really like him he had great humor I was really sad to see he passed.

Matt at his best working with the crowd, laughing along with them. I feel for him having panic attacks, I've dealt with it my whole life. It was so bad in college I finally admitted to it and got help. Best wishes to him, he brings joy to others, I hope he feels the return.

What do I think of Rife? I love Matt Rife, but I did not know much about his background. It just makes me want to give him a big hug and tell him it's going to be okay. Not in a sexual way, mostly, but he is hot. Not in a sexual way. Mostly. TBH, I have a background similar family and geographical culture. We both grew up in Ohio farm country and trying to be more than his (and my) background and 'corn culture' would allow is really tough. Glad to see he made it!

I new instantly that Matt and I had something in common. I have had clinical depression for most of my life and have had anxiety disorder for about 20 yearss. I'm 67 and I found Matt about 6 mos. ago. He is so damn funny. I get him. I love his courage, he makes people with physical challenges feel normal. We all need to laugh at ourselves. Thanks Matt! Laugh On!

Poor kids always grow up to be funny or go to jail one is out there killing it right now but he's the star of that town I'm sure he's made his family super proud

This young man has suffered a difficult life from a very early age into this world. Through comedy he learned, and possibly still learning how to cope. He's a remarkable inspiration to find his way in an ugly world to overcome and become a success story. Dont judge harshly people. Having any type of real mental illness is not to be sneared at. Whatever mistakes he's made or relationship departures he's been responsible for may or may not have been illness related. We dont know, YOU dont know! Sometimes hurting someone else is a result of ( mentally) protecting themselves, because they have no choice. Matt is one of the very best comedians ive ever heard and I've been around a long time. He's so talented and yes, very good looking young man. Let's not condemn him, let us celebrate him and his career!! You go Matt and just ignore those haters! Maybe they have problems of their own and can't be happy without tearing someone else down. You are very special and worthy of happiness and good fortune!! Bless you! ❤❤❤

I just love this guy

He's very inspiring.

He is amazing. In his personal pain he continues to make us laugh. As a mental health nurse I can appreciate what he is going through.

I love a story with a happy/ hopeful ending.

I can’t believe how quick he is with comebacks!!

I just want Matt rife to know that I watch him from a far.. This man is very talented.. God Gives everybody a deck of cards.. 2 see how you're gonna play Them.. It's up to you ..the way you Play your hand.. I think you're doing a hell of a job ..

I'm old enough to be your mom but I will listen ..I will give you hugs.. don't ever give up on life Your grandfather is watching from above.. he is very proud of you.. trust me 🌹🙏

I feel him with teeth cuz I used to have beautiful white straight teeth but I had an accident when I was trying to get away from a bad situation and fell and busted my face on concrete steps and now they’re disgusting and dying and falling out. It’s horrible

Push through hard work keep it up Matt.

LOVE THIS GUY

😅 you are are amazing don't ever stop you help so many people

he's amazingly fast❤❤❤love him❤❤❤leave him alone❤❤❤

I work as a straddle carrier driver, the 60 foot vehicles you see at the docks, that move all the containers around the port. I do 3 hour drives at a time over a 12 hour shift. Matt Rife gets me through pretty much every day. He's so so funny and I wish him all the best life has to offer.

Growing up in a trailer isn’t a bad thing…

Thank you for sharing your deepest thoughts and feelings you are love truly thanka for making me laugh it's rewarding and love to all your dreams and to all comedians love you 😍 please take care of you lots of prayer 🙏 ❤️

He reminds me so much of my daughter. So beautiful and so funny. It’s kinda weird to see someone so physically stunning be so wacked and make you bust a gut, yet that’s what she did. And that’s what he does. She committed suicide in 2012. I’d a kid leave a 3 page, single spaced letter in my mailbox days after she passed. This was a kid who was funny as “f” but if you really paid attention, used his being overweight and the pain it caused him, to use comedy to cope. The very first story he told in his letter was how he was a junior in her freshman English class bc he’d failed it. In the first 10 minutes she dropped her pencil, reached for it on the floor and tipped her whole desk over. Instead of being mortified which one would expect as a freshman on their first day of high school, he said she busted out laughing at herself. Said he’s never been so impressed by her ability to laugh at herself and loved her immediately. He understood that laughter was her way to cope…as it was his. They bonded over that ability. They grew to have a deep friendship. I have faith that although Matt may battle these same demons, he’ll win. ❤ Look up to Grace, Matt. She’s laughin her ass off with ya.
