Matt Rife tickets in Edmonton are on the resale market for a WILD $2,300

Matt Rife, a comedian with a hard time staying out of controversy, is on the road for a world comedy tour with a stop in Edmonton, and prices for the event are skyrocketing.

The comedian released his Netflix special, Natural Selection, back in November of 2023, which was quickly criticized for being insensitive, in large part because of his references to domestic violence. 

He has continued to stay in the spotlight with further controversies like rumours of plastic surgery (which he denies) and infidelity. Despite the negative attention, it doesn’t seem to have hurt his popularity, at least if ticket sales are any indicator of support.

Limited tickets are still available for the four Edmonton shows this weekend, but they are selling fast, and some are easily over $1,000, with a few running as high as $2,327.
