Matt Rife adds second Phoenix comedy show in December

When comedian Matt Rife announced a December 2026 Phoenix show last year, tickets went faster than a quick-witted retort.

If you were one of the many fans who didn’t get in on the action, you’re in luck: Rife just announced a second Phoenix show on his Stay Golden World Tour.

He’ll appear at Mortgage Matchup Center on Sunday, Dec. 27. (The original tour date is Dec. 26.)

Tickets will be available starting at noon on Tuesday, May 12, with a Citi presale, followed by an artist presale at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 13. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 15 on the official Matt Rife website. Multiple tiers of VIP packages will be available as well.

If you can’t wait seven months to see Rife in the Valley, tide yourself over by watching his Netflix special “Matt Rife: Unwrapped — A Christmas Crowd Work Special,” which was filmed last December at Tempe Improv.
