If you've swiped through TikTok or Instagram, chances are you've stumbled across the comedy of Matt Rife. The 27-year-old comedian has been setting the social media world on fire. His hilarious retorts to heckling from the crowd has gone super viral. His wit is unmatched, and soon that wit (and the rest of him) will be in Las Vegas for two live shows.

The Ohio-born comedian got his first shot at the national spotlight on MTV's Wild 'n Out. That was before they replaced the whole network with Ridiculousness reruns). Since then, he's seen his social media stock rise dramatically. He's got over 14 million followers on his TikTok, is approaching 4 million followers on his Instagram, and his YouTube channel, where he posts his entirely self-produced comedy specials, is nearing 1 million subscribers. He signed with Creative Artists Agency, a massive talent agency that has their eyes set on his super-stardom...

How can you get tickets to see Matt Rife in Las Vegas?

Well now, Matt is coming to Las Vegas to headline two shows at The Cosmopolitan Of Las Vegas. The comedian will be playing The Chelsea on Friday, September 8th and Saturday, September 9th. Pre-sale tickets go on sale Tuesday, June 6th at 10am, with general on-sale beginning Friday on Ticketmaster.

The dates are part of his ProbleMATTic tour that begins this summer in Oregon and will send the comedian across the country, to Canada, Australia and throughout Europe.

While his comedy specials are great, his "crowd work" takes the cake. If someone dares to "volunteer as tribute" and speak up during his set, be prepared for a clinical dressing down that has the crowd rolling. He does it with a crazy mix of cockiness and coyness that makes his audiences fall in love with him.

We scoured the internet to find some of his best sniper moments reacting to the crowd... you'll want to go to the show after watching these (not safe for work):

Why Are Women So Ungrateful?

Matt asked the audience about red flags to watch out for... and one woman's answer got her in the crosshairs.

Honestly, 10 out of 10 for being that quick on his feet.

Being too drunk to realize you need to stop talking is a bad idea.
