Matt Rife returned to The O2 arena for the second London night of his Stay Golden World Tour, twelve days after the first.
Matt Rife, the American stand-up famous for his crowd work, returned to The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Thursday 23 April 2026. It was his second London night on the Stay Golden World Tour, twelve days after the first.
The Ohio-born comedian started out in clubs in his teens and joined the cast of Wild ’N Out on MTV. He is best known now for crowd work, unscripted exchanges with his audience that circulate as short videos.
Those videos drew more than 44 million followers across his social media accounts. They also led to Natural Selection, his Netflix special of 2023. His Christmas special Unwrapped, made by his own company, Carpe Noctem, followed in December 2025.
His ProbleMATTic World Tour sold more than 600,000 tickets in under two days after it was announced. Stay Golden extended that run with dates across North America, Europe, the UK and Australia.
The O2 sold both London nights on one listing, a Saturday and a Thursday in the same month. The arena holds about 20,000 people.
