Comedian Matt Rife has just announced a brand-new world tour, with an arena show in Manchester on the cards.

The American comic, who has a whopping 11m followers on Instagram and 20m on TikTok, will be performing a night at the AO Arena on his extended Stay Golden World Tour.

It’s one of 40+ new dates across North America and Europe, on a tour which will feature a 360 degree in-the-round stage at select venues.

The record-breaking comedian had already announced shows across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Canada, and performed shows across the States.

He’s been the youngest comedian to ever sell out New York’s Madison Square Garden – and he did two sold-out nights.

He’s shattered ticket sale records at arenas right across the USA, too.

Matt Rife has become one of the hottest names in comedy thanks to his razor-sharp crowd work and massive social media following, with over 44.6 million followers and more than three billion views globally, as well as chart-topping Netflix specials.

The 30-year-old entertainer will release a new Netflix special – Matt Rife: Unwrapped – on 2 December this year.

The ‘Christmas Crowd Work Special’ will ‘explore gifts, traditions and who’s made it on the naughty or nice list this year’.
