Humor and Personal Insights
Matt Rife, the 29-year-old comedian, has opened up about persistent plastic surgery rumors in his latest memoir, 'Your Mom’s Gonna Love Me.' Released on December 3 by Gallery Books, Rife's book is a blend of memoir, comedy special, and "first date," providing readers with a unique insight into his life.
Rife candidly addresses the speculation surrounding his appearance, attributing his transformation to a delayed puberty rather than surgical interventions. He humorously recounts how he transitioned from looking like a teenager to a grown man, with wider facial features and increased height.
Rife's memoir not only tackles rumors but also highlights his comedic approach to addressing medical professionals who speculated about his looks. He humorously critiques doctors who diagnose him online, questioning their professional integrity.
"Straight up — if you are an actual doctor actually going on Tik-Tok to proclaim a guaranteed diagnosis about a dude you’ve never even met before, much less treated, how the hell do you not lose your license?" he writes. The book also delves into Rife's belief that good-looking individuals face their own set of challenges, including anxiety and depression, despite public perceptions.
In addition to his memoir, Rife continues to make waves in the comedy world. His recent stand-up special, 'Natural Selection,' premiered on Netflix in November 2023, followed by 'Matt Rife: Lucid — A Crowd Work Special' in August.
