I think Matt Rife is pretty funny for the most part, but i also think he's a one trick pony. i've seen enough of his stuff now that the formula / routine has started to stand out and become a little annoying. that said, he's still pretty quick on his feet. this kind of comedy just isnt really my thing though.

Have you seen an actual show, or just the crowd work stuff on social media? His live show is like 70-80 minutes with maybe 15-20 minutes of crowd work. The dude's actual set is pretty damn funny. He is quick with the crowd work and obviously uses his appeal or ick to the female audience members to his advantage, but his actual set is pretty good.

I think some of his stuff is pretty funny but notice that he repeats EVERYTHING that someone in the crowd says. Maybe it's so everyone else can hear it but, by god, is it annoying.
