Matt Rife backed out of comedy shows at Indiana University Wednesday evening last minute due to an “unexpected medical emergency.”
“I’m so f–king sorry, but due to a last minute medical emergency i have to reschedule our shows tonight (again),” the stand-up comic, 28, explained via his Instagram Story Wednesday.
“I’ve been doing 40+ shows a month for a year and half and never had to do something like this.”
He then apologized again, “I’m so sorry, I hope you understand and I love you so much.”

Page Six has reached out to his rep for more information and the current status of his health but did not immediately hear back.
Earlier this week, Rife posted on X about the toll touring has taken on him, writing, “Sometimes i feel 98 years old and then i remember i sleep maybe 14 hours a week if I’m lucky so I am quite literally a corpse.”
An Instagram post from the Indiana University Auditorium, where the shows were set to take place, reassured fans Wednesday their payments “will be refunded in full and will be reflected within 30 days.”
People who were going to attend the shows had mixed reactions to the announcement.
“I love driving 3 hours for it to be cancelled !” one peeved fan commented under the school’s post.
Another was seemingly more concerned about Rife’s well-being but was still upset over the decison.
“Hope everything is okay ! However, I was pissed,” the fan commented.
“Bought tickets almost a YEAR ago. Suppose to be a surprise for my husband . & didn’t even get notified it was cancelled til we were trying to find parking .
