Matt Rife will be making a stop in Vancouver on March 14, 2024, while travelling across the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, and Europe for his "ProbleMATTic World Tour."

Internet comedy sensation Matt Rife is gearing up to make the world laugh thanks to Ashton Kutcher. 

In an announcement video for the "ProbleMATTic World Tour" shared on Instagram, Rife's wish for a "world tour bigger than anything I could have ever dreamed of" is granted by a magical genie that looks exactly like Kutcher. Mila Kunis also makes a brief appearance. 

Rife shot to internet fame thanks to his hilarious and witty crowd work, now boasting over 14 million followers on TikTok where he shares snippets of his standup comedy sets.

The tour will begin in North America this summer and will make its way through the U.S. before a string of Canadian, Australian, and European dates in 2024. Several shows have already sold out. 

Rife will make a stop in Vancouver on March 14, 2024, at Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

Ticket presale opened today (June 6), and Vancouver locals scrambled for a seat. Some got lucky, while others, not so much. Nonetheless, fans shared their wins and distress online. 

"Waited an hour in line and nothing is available anywhere. Taylor Swift trauma coming back," writes one disappointed fan on Twitter. Another says "I missed out. My dream is to attend one of these!" in a tweet

A few called out the comedian for "crazy" ticket prices. 

Another fan got two tickets, just in case. Good thinking!
