matthias s *Matt Rife: Natural Selection* left me with mixed feelings. As a fan of his improv talents, I was hoping for more of the spontaneous crowd work that he excels at, but this special felt flat. While there were a few chuckles, especially during the bit about his stepdad's VHS collection, the rest of the material just didn’t land for me. It seemed like Rife wanted to venture into darker humor, but it felt forced and out of character. His offensive jokes, especially about women and fatphobia, weren’t funny; they just felt like statements rather than clever punchlines. It wasn’t that I was offended, but the humor lacked the sharpness and wit that makes good dark comedy work. Overall, the special wasn’t well-written, and Rife shines much more when he’s improvising with the audience. Stick to what works best, Matt! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Jøren F Positivly surprised. Its actually ok. Hes still got some work to do, but I really think the negative reviews is more about his antics than his actual comedy Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Alasdair M Thinks he's Daniel Sloss, but is actually a cross between Michael McIntyre and Jimmy Carr minus the jokes. Smug, complacent, puerile observational comedy without believable observations. If tempted to watch this on Netflix, don't. Watch Daniel Sloss instead.

I didn't like how long he stretches his bits, his story telling could be more tightly crafted. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Donna P He should stick to audience interaction, he's much better at that. He definitely was not ready for his own special.
