Viral comedian and TikTok star Matt Rife announced his world tour on Monday with a little help from some famous friends.
In a video announcement for the “ProbleMATTic World Tour,” actor Ashton Kutcher appears as a genie who promises to grant Rife one wish.
After refusing a number of wishes (like going on a date with Mila Kunis, Kutcher’s real life wife) Kutcher’s genie grants Rife his dream of a world tour.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to live out this life long dream! To tour the world, spreading laughter, with some of my best friends, is something I never thought would be possible,” Rife said in a press release from Live Nation.
The American standup comic is a social media sensation, with 14 million followers on TikTok, where his comedy clips have racked up millions of views each.
More than 100 tour dates are planned across North America, Australia and Europe through 2023 and 2024.
The comedian is making a number of Canadian stops in 2024, including Toronto on March 21 and Hamilton on March 24.
Rife’s two previously announced shows in Niagara this August are currently sold out.
Tickets for Rife’s tour are available for presale on June 6. General sale starts on June 9.
