Rife started out appearing in some Disney shows, and then MTV (check out his stint on Season 7 of Wild and Out.)

Rife's website explains how the 27-year-old from Ohio came to be one of the most recognizable stand-up comics of the last few years...

"Matthew Steven Rife is an American comedian and actor from North Lewisburg, Ohio, best known for his self-produced comedy specials, Only Fans and Matthew Steven Rife, as well as his appearance on the comedy competition series Bring the Funny."

To get an idea of his style, here's a clip of one of his stand-up routines. (Just be warned, he does like to use adult language, so if you're at work, turn down those speakers!)
