Description

I interviewed Matt Rife, the youngest comedian to sell out the Hollywood Bowl as he debuts Netflix's first crowd-work special called Lucid.


Matt also talks about how he made $25 million, how Dave Chapelle saved him $700,000, crowdfunding his first stand up special, and gives advice for comedians, creators...and the 'Hawk Tuah' girl.
