This past April, the comedian bet on himself again and self-released his highly anticipated second stand-up special, Matthew Steven Rife, on YouTube which was taped in Austin, TX and is dedicated to his biggest role model, his grandfather Steven who had recently passed. Matthew Steven Rife has earned more than 15 million views to date.
