Comedian Matt Rife headlines the Mohegan Sun Arena — a 10,000 seat venue — Feb. 21-25. That’s not a typo. Five nights in a row!

A few questions:

1. Who IS Matt Rife?

2. Could Taylor Swift sell out the Mohegan Sun Arena five nights in a row?

3. Will I do my job and research Matt Rife so as to provide You, the reader, with wise analysis and information?

Answers:

1. He’s a comic in his late 20s. He’s a sleepy-eyed bicep-developer who looks like he could have gotten a degree in seducing the little sisters of every dude he knew in college. Professionally, Rife riffs on the same sex-and-relationship kegger topics every other 20-something comic has explored throughout the history of laughter.

2. Yes, she could. Taylor could sell out Earth. But I bring her into this to suggest Matt Rife must be a Big Deal to get booked in a major venue five freakin’ nights in a row.

3. I watched about 30 minutes of one of Rife’s stand-up specials. That’ll do me. I think that, if you’re in his age demographic, and dammit you missed out on Dane Cook’s Glory Years, you’ll probably find Rife pretty amusing.
