Comedian and social media sensation Matt Mathews is back with a brand-new tour, Boujee On A Budget, bringing his unique humor and unforgettable stage presence to audiences nationwide. Produced by Live Nation, the 52-city tour includes a stop at Fayetteville’s Crown Theatre on Feb. 16, at 8 p.m.
Mathews, whose comedic style is a blend of sharp wit and heartfelt relatability, has quickly become one of the most talked-about names in comedy. His stand-up routines offer audiences a window into his eclectic life, including his experiences as a gay man raised in the South, the quirks of life on a farm, his work as a boudoir photographer, and his take on relationships.
A highlight of the show is the live version of his fan-favorite “Confessions with Matt” series. The interactive segment invites audience members to share their deepest secrets, which Mathews hilariously unpacks on the spot.
“It is one of my favorite parts of the show,” Mathews said. “Hearing these confessions and being able to respond in real-time brings a unique energy to the performance. You never know what someone is going to say!”
A Comedic Journey
This tour represents more than just comedy for Mathews—it is a testament to perseverance and self-belief.
“Growing up as a broke, gay kid from the South, performing felt like a far-off dream,” he shared. “But I decided to risk and bet on myself as a comedian. Embarking on my second headlining tour, backed by Live Nation, is beyond anything I could have imagined. I am humbled and grateful for the support of my fans.”
This tour follows the success of Mathews’ debut headlining tour, When That Thang Get Ta Thang’n, which sold out 100 shows and drew over 150,000 fans nationwide. The momentum from that tour has only propelled his career forward. In addition to his upcoming tour, Mathews recently taped his first stand-up special at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, Alabama, which is set to be announced soon.
Beyond the stage, Mathews has cultivated a massive following on social media, with more than 4.8 million TikTok followers and over 2 million Instagram fans. His raw and hilariously honest takes on life, paired with short-form video clips and stand-up moments, have catapulted him into viral stardom.
In September, Mathews will premiere a six-episode YouTube series, Doin’ the Most With Matt Mathews, which follows his adventures in tackling new challenges—from ballet classes to bartending. The series offers fans an intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpse into his life and personality.
A Rising Star
Mathews’ ability to mix humor with authenticity has made him a standout performer. Whether through his viral social media content or live shows, he connects with audiences in a personal and universal way.
As Boujee On A Budget kicks off, Mathews is poised to deliver another unforgettable experience for fans nationwide.
“This tour is going to be wild,” he promised. “I cannot wait to get back on stage and share it all with the people who make this dream possible.”
With his comedic talent and growing influence, Matt Mathews is proving that big dreams do come true—even for a “boujee” kid from the South.
