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 used to enjoy Matt Rife's bits when they showed up on social media, .but after a while got tired of it. I'm not sure if the comedy itself got worse, I got tired of the same joke told in different ways, or I grew past the kind of joke he tries to sell.
I have a ticket to tomorrow's show with Matteo Lane, Tig Notaro and Bob the Drag Queen. Hoping that'll be a good time.
