Matt Rife's Stay Golden Tour Comes to Wichita
Wichita, get ready for a comedy event for the ages as Matt Rife brings his record-breaking Stay Golden World Tour to INTRUST Bank Arena on Sunday, December 13, 2026. This show represents one of the year's final tour stops, giving Kansas audiences the chance to experience the comedian who redefined arena comedy for a new generation. With over 44.6 million social media followers and a string of venue records broken nationwide, Rife represents comedy's brightest young star.
Part of Live Nation's massive global production, the Wichita stop showcases why Matt Rife has become one of entertainment's most sought-after performers. He became the youngest comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden, broke attendance records at venues coast to coast, and transformed social media virality into legitimate mainstream success. His ProbleMATTic World Tour sold 600,000 tickets in under 48 hours—one of comedy's largest tours in decades.

The 7:00 PM Sunday showtime makes this perfect weekend entertainment.

The arena's multiple concession stands and bars ensure you won't miss any action while grabbing refreshments.
Why Matt Rife is Comedy's Hottest Ticket
Matt Rife's meteoric rise from comedy clubs to arena tours demonstrates his unique talent and authentic connection with audiences. Starting at age 15 and joining MTV's "Wild 'N Out" at 17, Rife honed improvisational skills that separate him from traditional stand-up comedians. His Instagram and TikTok clips showcase his quick wit and crowd work mastery, but live performances reveal his true brilliance.
His Netflix special "Natural Selection" dominated streaming charts, hitting #1 in the US and accumulating over 10.3 million views in two weeks. However, it's his live shows that cement his reputation. Rife creates comedy through spontaneous audience interaction, making each performance unique. No two shows are identical thanks to his improvisational approach—every crowd provides different dynamics and opportunities for comedy creation. His upcoming "Unwrapped – A Christmas Crowd Work Special" (December 2, 2025) offers preview of what Wichita can expect.
