Medical emergency causes comedian Matt Rife to cancel IU show

BLOOMINGTON – On May 29th, Matt Rife, a popular comedian, canceled his standup presentation at Indiana University. He took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to write: “INDIANA: I’m so (expletive) sorry to have had to reschedule our shows again tonight. I had a very last minute medical emergency and I don’t have a choice. I’ve been doing 40+ shows a month for a year and half and never had to do something like this, I’m so so sorry, i hope you understand and i love you so much.”

The comedian is well known over social media for his standup comedy as well as appearing on the Hit show “Brooklyn Nine Nine.”

Rife was set to perform at 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM and issued his post on X at 7:38 PM after the doors were opened and people were seated.

This is the second time Rife has rescheduled a show. He was originally scheduled to perform on February 14th as part of his “ProbleMATTic World Tour.” Later, the IU Auditorium issued a statement stating that the show was canceled and tickets would be refunded.

Tickets bought through the IU Auditorium or Ticketmaster will be refunded in 30 days.
