Comedy’s golden boy Matt Rife is coming back to Australia with nine massive dates locked in for early 2026. The Stay Golden World Tour will see the Netflix star hit Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth – as well as double-headers in Melbourne and Sydney – across January and February, marking his biggest Aussie run yet.
The tour follows Rife’s record-breaking streak overseas, where he’s sold out arenas from New York’s Madison Square Garden to LA’s Hollywood Bowl, smashed ticket sales records across the States, and even joined Taylor Swift as one of the few artists to crash Ticketmaster with demand.

With over 44 million followers online, a NYT best-selling memoir, and back-to-back Netflix specials, Rife has cemented himself as one of the most in-demand LOL-smiths on the planet.
Originally breaking through as the youngest cast member on MTV’s Wild ’N Out, Rife has gone on to star in That ’90s Show, Mo, and will soon appear alongside Julia Garner in Netflix’s upcoming series The Altruists. But it’s on stage where he’s really built his empire, blending razor-sharp crowd work with high-energy storytelling.
Aussie fans can expect the full force of Rife’s Stay Golden set when he touches down next year – and if history is anything to go by, these shows won’t stay on sale for long.
Tickets go on sale soon via Live Nation, and you can cop all the details down below.
