As someone who was totally deaf for 8 years and have had hearing issues my whole life, this video made me laugh immensely. Thank you Matt Rife for catering to the deaf community with your comedy. It's hard to hear the funny sometimes in subtitles but your comedy still comes through!
If I was Matt Rife, I woulda said "What's WITH the SUDDEN NEED FOR 'Jazz hands'? Really, WHY? SURELY if someone who is deaf can see someone clapping with a smile on their face, then THAT WOULD MEAN that they... ARE... Indeed CLAPPING or GIVING APPLAUSE with happiness and/or with appreciation or similar! There's LITERALLY NO NEED to have everyone START doing 'Jazz Hands' as a sign of clapping or applause as it's a gesture that's been known for HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF YEARS ALREADY!! So WHY the need tog get EVERYONE who is hearing capable to 'Jazz hands' it up!!??"... 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏 😎🇬🇧

Cancel culture isn’t a thing you troglodyte. It’s called making a risky joke and getting called out for it being dumb. Matt’s aware of it. Congrats, you’ve discovered this thing called “consequences”.
I’m hearing impaired (both ears since I was 4) and his deaf jokes are hilarious!I so prefer this than all the mocking, being made fun of & disgusted looks I have been getting my whole life. For some reason, people also tend to equate a hearing problem with mental incompetence. My ears may not work, but I’ll bet I have a higher IQ than many of those that treated me like that.

Nice name Daniel, believe you are from Sweden to. But yes we need to let everyone say what they want. Even if they hurt some people. I'm against all canceling. Even against making ideas, believes and theories illegal. Exempel: I'm not an nazi, but I dont believe that making the believes in nazi forbidden will solve the problem. The believes will grow in the dark, and Noone can stand up and give them an reason to stop believe in nazism.

The subtitles are great not only for deaf people but also for those who are learning english. I'm from Brazil and I got to know Matt through his netflix special! Found him hillarious and started to follow him immediatly! Much love from Brazil, Matt Rife!

@@blushbb. no way man, most of his crowd work gets very specific. i really cant see how someone who enjoys Rife's crowd work could talk down about Shulz's. Ian Bagg and Sam Morril are great too.
What I find particularly interesting is how people tried to "cancel" him over the DV joke, but likely don't know that he completely stopped two shows to get immediate help for audience members with health emergencies. One suffered a seizure in the front row, and another overdosed in the balcony. None of the people calling for his cancellation have mentioned either situation.
I don't want to cancel him. I just think he should stick to crowd work. His "set" was atrocious on his netflix special! (not funny) I LOVE LOVE LOVE his crowd work.
@@redmatrix his set on the netflix special was pretty much scripted and not natural, thats why his set on netflix was a little offputting, in general his sets are hilarious too,when hes doing tour shows
Honestly I’ve been through dv myself & I thought the joke was funny. People are just sensitive and reaching. It doesn’t make sense that we can make jokes about rape and racism but not dv lol
As a deaf/hard-of-hearing person (born deaf in one ear, HoH in the other), I approve of the deaf jokes. And I love the subtitles. That was one of the reasons my kids started sending me these videos till I subscribed myself.
@@KatalinaKris My kids, who are in their 30s? Okay, I guess I'll ground them. Gonna be hard to enforce though, what with them living in their own homes.
I have been more angry this year than I have been my whole life. Last night, I laughed harder than I ever have!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Matt you ARE the best Anger Management!
To all the people who are saying they don't like what he does or his show do those of us who enjoy what he does and shut up all you need to do is not watch or listen he's great and we love him . Love youatt keep doing what you do tall of us in south Carolina love you and what you do .been a fan since wild n out

I was never big on comedy shows, until I started to see a few clips from different comedians here and there and realized that the only standup comedy that did attract me was crowd work. Then I came upon Matt’s videos and that changed the game for me completely.. Society is weird these days . For my experience I just blink at most comedians trying to understand how some people are laughing so hard hearing a person repeat the exact same thing in each show… I LOVE the crowd work because its unpredictable. It’s shocking. And it goes back to when we were younger.. when shocking, dirty, mean, jokes where made on cartoons ect.. people are too mushy these days. Or the younger generation on tik tok or what now what it seems. Idk I don’t go on that crap. But keep doing you Matt. Stay true to what you enjoy to do and attract the crowd that loves you that continues to make you enjoy doing what to do. 🎉
Being a credentialed Keynote Orator for the Hearing Impaired is an above average profession. I'll even give it up for people that need them. That's impressive in and of itself. She had a great time. Most of us would be lost. This guy is the NEW.
Love how he proves a point without having to make one. Jokes are jokes and including everything life is, good and bad, people of all kind of all circumstances together in humor and laughter is the greatest form of equality. Laugh on people!
Laughed my ass off 😂. Dont treat people with disability differently. They are regular people like the rest of us and also have a sense of humor. Love it!

I took sign language in school. I lived near the deaf school. So, when I was in in a convenient store on graveyard shift. I had deaf students and and teachers on in my store at night. Just so they can have someone to talk to. I was also in a restaurant and the table in front of me were death. The waitress couldnt unstand. So, I got up and helped her with her customers. They were shock, I love help the hearing impaired because they are so grateful.
"Our time" depends on how old you are. Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Dennis Leary, Mitchell Hedberg, and Anthony Jeselnik are my favorites and range from the 70s to now. Matr Rife is really good and may become one of the greats in time.
He will NEVER be cancelled! We watched that special the first night it was released! We are Rife fans over here. The whole damn family including the grandkids. 😂
Honestly this was the best crowd participation I've ever seen for two people for them to realize that they can't hear them clapping so everyone started signing applause for them that was the sweetest
I so agree. My daughter (19) was telling me about this latest uproar re. DV JOKES. Then she told me "So Matt made a video directing people to this link for his apology," and I was like, NOOOO....I flippin can't stand peope!! THEN, she showed me what the link was, and I was so relieved that he didn't bow down for telling JOKES at his COMEDY special, I mean, Come On!!
@@milya1926 Snowflakes are mad at his recent Netflix special because he makes a joke about domestic violence. People are crying little pussies about it, it's embarrassing.
@@milya1926 He made a joke about how the hostess at a restaurant had a black eye. His friend said “They should have her in the back cooking” and Matt said “If she knew how to cook she probably wouldn’t have the black eye” Seems pretty tame if you ask me
Can’t believe people are trying to cancel him bc he’s apparently insensitive and rude when 6:33 shows how kind and caring he is. It’s called a stage persona and it’s obviously not how he acts.
Yo the bit making the deaf person respond verbally was the shit man. So cool how both the interpreteur and the deaf person went with the whole sentence. Dope ass crowd.
Hey Matt, I don't know if you will see this, but thanks for uploading this! It's really awesome to see a public figure like you embracing your deaf fans! If you thought ASL was wild, just wait until you find out about cued speech! It's a different method of communicating for deaf people!
The guy is one of the BEST I've ever watched on here and can't wait to see him in Baltimore. His crowd work is TOP NOTCH and they ABSOLUTELY DIG this guy! KABOOM from Laurel, Delaware.
Never heard of you before the Jordan Peterson interview about the DV joke... Of course I got curious and had to find the joke. That brought me to your channel. LOVE your work. Signed NEW FAN
Matt Rife would be funny with a bag over his head, idgaf 🤪 that man is incredibly hilarious and talented. I can’t wait to see what else he comes up with this upcoming year!
I'm disabled and I think he's a sweetheart. We're people like any body else and we don't like to be treated with pity or as if we're kids! We just want our needs to be respected so that we can live as normally as the rest of society. We make fun of ourselves as well...comedy is part of being human, without it, we wouldn't be able to survive. Specially during the hard times that we all have to go through, one way or the other. If you're not disabled in any form, stop being an hypocrite and fight for what really affects your reality.
Matt, you are perhaps one of the most talented, quick-witted, intelligent, and obviously funny comedians of this time and place! I became aware of you, literally, two days ago! I have, “binge-watched” your works ever since! Yes, like, for the last 36 hours!! I know, right? WTF?? Who would do that?! You have made me laugh my ass off, (metaphorically, obviously, duh! I am a Choctaw Indian from Oklahoma so obviously, I never had an ass!) You have impressed me very much. Which is odd, because in all my days, I have only met like three people from Ohio I could even stand to be around! (I served 35 years with the military and federal law enforcement, so, this statistic is pretty significant! I believe I would really enjoy seeing your show in person. Please let us know if you are planning a tour encompassing Oklahoma. In any case, yes, you had to see this coming, there is a very big but!!! I could be completely wrong, mistaken and off-base. If so, I certainly apologize in advance. However, in this case, I do not think so. I believe you were raised as a true and even, “believing,” Christian. You moved, had no idea what to do with that, “craziness,” so you, “buried” it, because there was no way anyone in your current life would relate. My only prayer and wish for you, other than great health, happiness and success is for you to always remember and be drawn back to, The Source of all true happiness and long lasting joy! Bless you!
Hey Matt! Just wanted to say, I'm a woman and loved your special! Not because your looks (beauty will fade) but because I really like your dark sense of humor 😂 your crowd work is amazing! Funny AND inclusive ❤ keep doing what you do and ignore the crazy drunk (or sober) women that just go to your shows, expecting to get into your pants! Cater to the comedy fans and you'll be fine! Please come to Lisbon, Portugal... Our sense of humor is dark as fuck! You'll love it here 😎
I was at the show in the first clip! It’s nice to watch the clips online to get a better view since it’s hard to see who’s shouting out from the audience. Thanks for posting these Matt!
And this is why he's so damn funny. Best comedian alive. He continues to make laugh so very hard. This year was just the beginning, 2024 he's really really gonna be huge! And forget the haters!
@mattrife You are so smart. I notice you surprise yourself alot ! I don't even like cursing or sex jokes but I can endure it because your spirit is so kind

I dont know if any of u guys notice this but this man NEVER FORGET about the paramedic helping audience who have severe or any sickness in his show...always say give an applause for them and show them respect for the job they done❤

Deafie here : Matt so you know- there are always two interpreters for shows they switch every fifteen minutes because it's an intense job. Also people try and tell interpreters to stop interpreting all the time they are trained to keep going bc it's rude. Also when you tried to sign “nice to meet you” you signed “nice to fall in love with you “ 😂

Bro how can you not find this guy hilarious he absolutely kills any crowd work that comes his way
I love when Matt laughs at his own jokes.
Yeah cuz no else would love with him
I do too, it's so ute. Sometimes I make myself laugh too. Then I keep laughing about laughing.
@@KatalinaKrisThe whole video is people laughing.
Are you deaf?
I said the same exact thing, great minds think alike 😜
Matt you are only going get even bigger than you already are , best crowd-work from any modern comedian.
while i agree his crowd work is great, Andrew Shulz may be the crowd work goat at this point, he has an entire special of just crowd work.
@@corrob nobody comes close to Andrew Shulz at working a crowd!!
@@blushbb. no way man, most of his crowd work gets very specific. i really cant see how someone who enjoys Rife's crowd work could talk down about Shulz's. Ian Bagg and Sam Morril are great too.
@@blushbb.maybe you just have terrible taste in comedy
What I find particularly interesting is how people tried to "cancel" him over the DV joke, but likely don't know that he completely stopped two shows to get immediate help for audience members with health emergencies. One suffered a seizure in the front row, and another overdosed in the balcony. None of the people calling for his cancellation have mentioned either situation.
plus he makes fun of everything and everyone!! mfkers be calling him "mysoginistic"
I don't want to cancel him. I just think he should stick to crowd work. His "set" was atrocious on his netflix special! (not funny)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE his crowd work.
@@redmatrix his set on the netflix special was pretty much scripted and not natural, thats why his set on netflix was a little offputting, in general his sets are hilarious too,when hes doing tour shows
Honestly I’ve been through dv myself & I thought the joke was funny. People are just sensitive and reaching. It doesn’t make sense that we can make jokes about rape and racism but not dv lol
@@savannahglenn8909 what is dv?
As a deaf/hard-of-hearing person (born deaf in one ear, HoH in the other), I approve of the deaf jokes.
And I love the subtitles. That was one of the reasons my kids started sending me these videos till I subscribed myself.
I'm deaf and find him hilarious. He does have translators at his shows. I have a cochlear implant, but it's echoey, but he's hilarious 😂.
Im not deaf at all and I love the subtitles 😂😂 that man talks fast
@@Me-su2bu true 😂😂😂
Kids are watching him??? You do know your kids will learn from him right?????? Bad parenting
@@KatalinaKris My kids, who are in their 30s? Okay, I guess I'll ground them. Gonna be hard to enforce though, what with them living in their own homes.
He's hilarious. He's definitely a blast from the past. Refreshing in his honesty.
Matt is the GOAT. Don't ever apologize for a joke, NEVER.
I thought the point was to MAKE YOU think.
I have been more angry this year than I have been my whole life. Last night, I laughed harder than I ever have!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Matt you ARE the best Anger Management!
I feel like those in the Deaf Community are the best sports. Such a funny set!
Depends on the deaf person. Just like everyone else there are aholes lol
funny ? annoying yelling attention seeking desperate deaf woman - no thqnks
To all the people who are saying they don't like what he does or his show do those of us who enjoy what he does and shut up all you need to do is not watch or listen he's great and we love him .
Love youatt keep doing what you do tall of us in south Carolina love you and what you do .been a fan since wild n out
I'm a profoundly hearing impaired person who doesn't sign so I'm unable to attend comedy shows in person. I really appreciate the subtitles Matt's team adds to these videos! So funny!
If I was Matt Rife, I woulda said "What's WITH the SUDDEN NEED FOR 'Jazz hands'? Really, WHY? SURELY if someone who is deaf can see someone clapping with a smile on their face, then THAT WOULD MEAN that they... ARE... Indeed CLAPPING or GIVING APPLAUSE with happiness and/or with appreciation or similar! There's LITERALLY NO NEED to have everyone START doing 'Jazz Hands' as a sign of clapping or applause as it's a gesture that's been known for HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF YEARS ALREADY!! So WHY the need tog get EVERYONE who is hearing capable to 'Jazz hands' it up!!??"... 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
😎🇬🇧
Matt is literally one of the best comedians ever 😂😂😂I don't get how ppl don't like him Fr 😂
@@owenross7197 dafuq are you talking about?
I was never big on comedy shows, until I started to see a few clips from different comedians here and there and realized that the only standup comedy that did attract me was crowd work.
Then I came upon Matt’s videos and that changed the game for me completely..
Society is weird these days . For my experience I just blink at most comedians trying to understand how some people are laughing so hard hearing a person repeat the exact same thing in each show…
I LOVE the crowd work because its unpredictable. It’s shocking. And it goes back to when we were younger.. when shocking, dirty, mean, jokes where made on cartoons ect..
people are too mushy these days. Or the younger generation on tik tok or what now what it seems. Idk I don’t go on that crap.
But keep doing you Matt. Stay true to what you enjoy to do and attract the crowd that loves you that continues to make you enjoy doing what to do. 🎉
He always makes sure everyone is included, no matter who they are.
Bro don’t ever stop no matter what, no matter what. You have people who are jealous of what you have become, don’t ever let them get to your head.
Being a credentialed Keynote Orator for the Hearing Impaired is an above average profession. I'll even give it up for people that need them. That's impressive in and of itself.
She had a great time. Most of us would be lost.
This guy is the NEW.
I love how he his so nice to the deaf people in his audience. Such a gentleman
Love how he proves a point without having to make one. Jokes are jokes and including everything life is, good and bad, people of all kind of all circumstances together in humor and laughter is the greatest form of equality. Laugh on people!
The Deaf applause was heartwarming
Your approach to comedy great as always, Thank You Matt
Laughed my ass off 😂. Dont treat people with disability differently. They are regular people like the rest of us and also have a sense of humor. Love it!
I’m deaf and I have no problem being roasted at his show! 😂

No one can walk the line like Matt and be so genuine
I took sign language in school. I lived near the deaf school. So, when I was in in a convenient store on graveyard shift. I had deaf students and and teachers on in my store at night. Just so they can have someone to talk to. I was also in a restaurant and the table in front of me were death. The waitress couldnt unstand. So, I got up and helped her with her customers. They were shock, I love help the hearing impaired because they are so grateful.
His crowd work is pretty good... It's funny watching the angry mob trying to cancel him but they can't hahahhaha
He is very funny liked all of his specials. Does great crowd work. May he continue to grow in his career.
Matt Rife one of the best comedians of our time! 🤩
Clearly, you need to go out more
@@KatalinaKrisgirrrrl you're resentful 😮😬😬😬
"Our time" depends on how old you are. Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Dennis Leary, Mitchell Hedberg, and Anthony Jeselnik are my favorites and range from the 70s to now. Matr Rife is really good and may become one of the greats in time.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Matt Rife starts learning ASL for his deaf fans he’s super loyal.
I effing love you Matt Rife. You are now my favorite comedian. You are by far the best at crowd work you are the funniest in my opinion 😂
He will NEVER be cancelled! We watched that special the first night it was released! We are Rife fans over here. The whole damn family including the grandkids. 😂
love me some Matt I could have a bad day then listen to him and LMAO he works the crowd and is so spot on love it
This is hilarious! This is what should've been the Netflix special. My abs hurt from laughing.
Honestly this was the best crowd participation I've ever seen for two people for them to realize that they can't hear them clapping so everyone started signing applause for them that was the sweetest
I'm glad he didn't bend to the bullshit people slung at him for his Netflix special. Trolling with that link made me so happy lol
I so agree. My daughter (19)
was telling me about this latest uproar re. DV JOKES. Then she told me "So Matt made a video directing people to this link for his apology," and I was like, NOOOO....I flippin can't stand peope!!
THEN, she showed me what the link was, and I was so relieved that he didn't bow down for telling JOKES at his COMEDY special, I mean, Come On!!
Matt Rife is the MAN! Surely will be a legend 🫡👍😊👍
i still think hes funny no matter what ppl r saying tbh
I don’t understand people who look up to comedians as beacons of virtue. Comedians are kind of the opposite of that haha
@@summerskull9379 what happened?? i feel like i missed something.
@@milya1926 Snowflakes are mad at his recent Netflix special because he makes a joke about domestic violence. People are crying little pussies about it, it's embarrassing.
@@milya1926 He made a joke about how the hostess at a restaurant had a black eye. His friend said “They should have her in the back cooking” and Matt said “If she knew how to cook she probably wouldn’t have the black eye”
Seems pretty tame if you ask me
@@summerskull9379 fr. like once they see Brandon rodger's videos
Proud to be a fan of yours. KEEP DOING YOU. YOUR NETFLIX SPECIAL WAS A BREATH OF FREASH AIR. YOUR BRING BACK LAUGHTER
Greatest new comedian of our time
Matt you're a true beautiful person! keep rocking this world by making people smile!
Can’t believe people are trying to cancel him bc he’s apparently insensitive and rude when 6:33 shows how kind and caring he is. It’s called a stage persona and it’s obviously not how he acts.
these people don't think at all and they swear they do
Yo the bit making the deaf person respond verbally was the shit man. So cool how both the interpreteur and the deaf person went with the whole sentence. Dope ass crowd.
This is true diversity. Freedom of speech & acceptance of what’s there. I love your work from Japan 😊
what pills r u on?
I absolutely love and enjoy his comedy routines working the crowd is hilarious and I am 77 yrs old . My type of comedy...
Hey Matt, I don't know if you will see this, but thanks for uploading this! It's really awesome to see a public figure like you embracing your deaf fans! If you thought ASL was wild, just wait until you find out about cued speech! It's a different method of communicating for deaf people!
@jasongorny1345
What's cued speech?
Sounds interesting.
I've never heard of it.
Holy Cow, being an interpreter keeping up with something as fast as a comedy skit must take so much skill
Matt rife is such a good incredible good comedian
The guy is one of the BEST I've ever watched on here and can't wait to see him in Baltimore. His crowd work is TOP NOTCH and they ABSOLUTELY DIG this guy! KABOOM from Laurel, Delaware.
Never heard of you before the Jordan Peterson interview about the DV joke... Of course I got curious and had to find the joke. That brought me to your channel.
LOVE your work.
Signed NEW FAN
Matt Rife would be funny with a bag over his head, idgaf 🤪 that man is incredibly hilarious and talented.
I can’t wait to see what else he comes up with this upcoming year!
Never apologize for being a comedian. The DV joke was hilarious 😂 Keep doing ya thing with making people laugh 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 this was hilarious 😂😂
I'm disabled and I think he's a sweetheart. We're people like any body else and we don't like to be treated with pity or as if we're kids! We just want our needs to be respected so that we can live as normally as the rest of society. We make fun of ourselves as well...comedy is part of being human, without it, we wouldn't be able to survive. Specially during the hard times that we all have to go through, one way or the other.
If you're not disabled in any form, stop being an hypocrite and fight for what really affects your reality.
You're a Def Leppard was underrated.
I’m here after your Jordan Peterson interview. Loved your honesty and openness. You just got a new fan 😂
😂😂, he’s so sweet and funny? He’s the best comedian!!! I love listening and watching him!!
With a cucumber
Matt Ride is has a huge heart. He is hilarious and spreads love and joy. We support you, Matt
He does 2 shows in one night, that's a lot of work he must be tired and exhausted ❤❤
The only comedian I know of that is truly a master of the craft. I'm over 70 and love what, and how, he works
I’m an interpreter/deaf parents and would love a shot at interpreting these shows!😂😂😂
Matt has a rhythm of deliveryand tone that makes ordinary remarks hilarious. That's a gift. He's friggin great.
Makes me happy to see that everybody enjoys his shows all the way down to the interpreters. Matt seems like an all around good guy
Matt, you are perhaps one of the most talented, quick-witted, intelligent, and obviously funny comedians of this time and place! I became aware of you, literally, two days ago! I have, “binge-watched” your works ever since! Yes, like, for the last 36 hours!! I know, right? WTF?? Who would do that?!
You have made me laugh my ass off, (metaphorically, obviously, duh! I am a Choctaw Indian from Oklahoma so obviously, I never had an ass!) You have impressed me very much. Which is odd, because in all my days, I have only met like three people from Ohio I could even stand to be around! (I served 35 years with the military and federal law enforcement, so, this statistic is pretty significant!
I believe I would really enjoy seeing your show in person. Please let us know if you are planning a tour encompassing Oklahoma. In any case, yes, you had to see this coming, there is a very big but!!!
I could be completely wrong, mistaken and off-base. If so, I certainly apologize in advance. However, in this case, I do not think so. I believe you were raised as a true and even, “believing,” Christian. You moved, had no idea what to do with that, “craziness,” so you, “buried” it, because there was no way anyone in your current life would relate.
My only prayer and wish for you, other than great health, happiness and success is for you to always remember and be drawn back to, The Source of all true happiness and long lasting joy! Bless you!
Hey Matt! Just wanted to say, I'm a woman and loved your special! Not because your looks (beauty will fade) but because I really like your dark sense of humor 😂 your crowd work is amazing! Funny AND inclusive ❤ keep doing what you do and ignore the crazy drunk (or sober) women that just go to your shows, expecting to get into your pants! Cater to the comedy fans and you'll be fine! Please come to Lisbon, Portugal... Our sense of humor is dark as fuck! You'll love it here 😎
I was at the show in the first clip! It’s nice to watch the clips online to get a better view since it’s hard to see who’s shouting out from the audience. Thanks for posting these Matt!
Almost 2 million followers on YT . Dude is killing it in the comedy world
Don't change bro. Your stand up and crowd work is insanely funny. Keep it up. You're gonna go far. Best comedian out right now.
Def leppard got me dying 😂
I'll never get over how quick he is on his come backs. Not to mention his remarks back to the audience. He's genius and I love it.
And this is why he's so damn funny. Best comedian alive. He continues to make laugh so very hard. This year was just the beginning, 2024 he's really really gonna be huge! And forget the haters!
Best comedian alive? Fr?
You really need to listen to more comedians
Matt is the best. The man is hilarious, inclusive, quick thinking, and easy on the eyes
Matt Rife is uncancellable he’s just him 🤝
@mattrife You are so smart. I notice you surprise yourself alot ! I don't even like cursing or sex jokes but I can endure it because your spirit is so kind
To the person(s) that carried narcan w them to this show, that provided it to save a life... I applaud you. I carry Narcan w me EVERYWHERE I go.
What is / was that
Tooooo funny! You flip from the sweet boy next door to wild so effortlessly. That's one of the reasons I love you ❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
Your pushin the politically correct envelope when you are one of the most positive comedians out there.
you're is the grammatically correct :)

Thats what happens when you wander too far from your tik tok. Feelings get hurt and you try to ruin someones career because you don't understand comedy.
I dont know if any of u guys notice this but this man NEVER FORGET about the paramedic helping audience who have severe or any sickness in his show...always say give an applause for them and show them respect for the job they done❤
If you can't handle him don't watch
He's the best😅

Exactly!!
They are deaf, their presences are acknowledged, they are part of the jokes, people are laughing at them, with them, and yes, that's what I call RESPECT for the others! So much respect for you, Matt!!!
Ayy I'm HOH(hard of hearing) myself and must say love ya man!!! Wish I could go to a show maybe someday!!!

Just "This Bish Is LYGING" got me laughing so hard. Never cancel Matt rife!
We need more of him! He is just a good dude man who loves to brighten up people days. And force people to loosen up. I get thats comedy but its the manner in which he interacts that makes him more genuine than most .
Deafie here : Matt so you know- there are always two interpreters for shows they switch every fifteen minutes because it's an intense job. Also people try and tell interpreters to stop interpreting all the time they are trained to keep going bc it's rude. Also when you tried to sign “nice to meet you” you signed “nice to fall in love with you “ 😂

As someone named Gillian, hearing Matt say my name was the best.
I can't thank you enough for sharing these videos. They make my day. Everyday.
Just started college recently and it's been difficult, but you make me laugh.
Thank you.
