Matt Rife Adds Four New Dates to His Stay Golden World Tour as Nashville Gets Ready for Saturday Night
Matt Rife’s Stay Golden World Tour is the arena comedy story of the year, and it keeps getting bigger. The tour plays Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Saturday, October 24 and Brandon, Mississippi on October 25, then Milwaukee on November 7, Indianapolis on November 8, UBS Arena in New York on November 20, Buffalo on November 21 and Toronto on November 22 – many of them with an in-the-round stage that puts Rife in the middle of the crowd.
Demand is so strong that four new dates were just added: New Orleans on December 30, Chicago’s United Center on January 7, Knoxville on January 8, Memphis on January 9 and Huntsville on January 10. Las Vegas, Fort Worth and Phoenix are also on the December calendar.
Rife went from crowd-work clips on TikTok to selling out the same arenas as rock stars faster than almost anyone in comedy history. Love him or debate him, the Stay Golden run is the tour everybody is talking about.

Nate Bargatze Plays Rexburg Tomorrow, Then Settles Into Las Vegas on the Record-Breaking Big Dumb Eyes Tour
The nicest man in stand-up is having the biggest year in stand-up. Nate Bargatze’s Big Dumb Eyes World Tour – named after his New York Times bestselling book – plays the BYU-Idaho Center in Rexburg, Idaho on Friday, October 23, then settles into a Las Vegas residency run at Encore at Wynn on December 9-12, with more Vegas dates January 21-24.
The tour just played Auburn University’s Neville Arena on October 16 as part of its college swing. The numbers behind the run are staggering: more than 2 million tickets sold, and Bargatze recently set the record for the highest one-year gross by a comedy performer in history.
The Atlantic called him "The Nicest Man in Stand-Up," and his clean, deadpan, everybody’s-dad humor has turned arena crowds into believers. If Rexburg or Vegas is anywhere near you, this is the show to see this season.
