How did Matt Rife rise to fame?

Unlike many stand-up comedians, Matt Rife began his career on the screen rather than the stage (the opposite route of most comedians in the 1980s and 90s during the TV sitcom era!), making brief appearances in a couple of short-lived MTV shows. His first foray into stand-up was via the reality TV competition series Bring the Funny, where he was eliminated in the semi-finals. Undeterred and believing in his talent, Rife did what so many comedians of his generation have done, turning to the Internet to produce three of his own comedy specials himself, which gained him a huge following. A Netflix special in 2023, Natural Selection followed, further propelling Rife into the spotlight as one of the best new stand-up comedians in America today.
