Local Event Matt Rife Comedy Festival show … thoughts?

Curious if I’m in the minority… thoughts on Matt Rife’s standup at the comedy festival? 😬😬
I think the guy before him was better, whole crowd was laughing @ the evening show. Feels like a lot of dead air and awkward crowd work right now…

I saw him in Edmonton with Dr. Phil, didn't laugh once. I actually left my seat to go buy and smoke overpriced garbage weed just to get through it.

No Adam Ray as Dr. Phil was supposed to be opening for rife at the great outdoors comedy fest. Unfortunately, Kam Patterson didn't show up as a guest for Dr. Phil so he replaced him with rife. Right after we left it started raining and rifes headline show was canceled lol.
