The backpack doesn't fit and there's hardly any legroom
I like Matt Rife but....
This unfortunately fell short with me. I have been a fan on Matt Rife's for a while now but unfortunately seeing this special turned out to be not special at all.
Matt Rife has made a real name for himself via social media and his crowd work which is phenomenal and some of the best I have seen as of late.
In this special it's focussed on his actual set and not his crowd work as obviously crowd work completely differs from show to show but your general set does not.
At the end of this special you see quick clips of Matt Rife doing his crowd work after his set has finished and in those short clips is where you can see the audience laughing the loudest.
We want to see you engaging with your audience.
All in all looking forward to seeing how Matt does progress as a comedian.
He's better unscripted
I love Matt Fife on instagram and social, he is so funny and charming!.....but this wasn't funny. His opening 5 minutes was tearing down women and it wasn't funny it was just words. As was most of his act, rehearsing jokes that were funny in other settings but not stand alone. He definitely needs to feed off his crowd, he is so funny but this scripted stand up, lame. People know him from social and know he's funny so that will carry him a while, and his looks... but the kid should stick with small crowds he can engage. That is his thing, he's funny and on it. This stuff... um not so much. I will pass on anything else from him like this.
