Comedy "is so much harder and a lot less fun": Matt Rife previously in 2019

Matt Rife is best known for his self-produced comedy show, Only Fans, which was released in 2021. In a 2019 interview with Digital Journal, the comedian had stated:

“Now is the worst time to be a comedian. We are so oversaturated with horrible online content and we are so censored by today’s overly-sensitive society. It’s so much harder and a lot less fun.”

In the very interview, Rife defined success as:

“Being able to sustain your life by achieving your personal dreams and aspirations. Being able to pay your bills and live off of the work you love to do.”

He also added:

“It takes a long time for you to get where you want to be. It’s a lot of hard work and practice. So write as much as possible and perform wherever you can. The more uncomfortable, the better.”

Earlier this year, Matt Rife volunteered to write for comedian Dave Chapelle along with Alex Fonzi Cureau in case Chapelle’s writers blocked him. The 27-year-old along with his friend held up signs in front of NYC's 30 Rock that read "Will Write For Dave."
