BY POPULAR DEMAND: COMEDY SENSATION MATT MATHEWS ADDS ENCORE PERFORMANCE AT RIVERS CASINO PORTSMOUTH

Portsmouth, Va. – June 8, 2026 – Matt Mathews is giving fans another chance to see his wildly popular “Not What I Ordered” tour at Rivers Casino Portsmouth—adding a second performance on Nov. 6 at 10:15 p.m. Tickets for the late-night show start at $59 and are available now at RiversCasino.com.

The newly added second show comes in response to overwhelming pre-sale demand for the comedian, singer/songwriter, and social media sensation, whose unique blend of raw honesty, Southern charm, and razor-sharp wit has made him one of comedy's fastest-rising stars. 

Mathews’ earlier show on Nov. 6 sold out simply from his website’s tour listing and social media teasers before an official announcement.

Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Mathews first captured national attention during the pandemic with his viral "farm chore" videos, turning everyday chaos, unfiltered storytelling, and authentic humor into a social media phenomenon. Today, he has amassed more than 15 million followers and generated more than one billion views across various social platforms.

What began as a creative outlet alongside his full-time career as a boudoir photographer quickly evolved into breakout comedy success. After performing stand-up for the first time in 2022, Mathews rapidly progressed from small comedy clubs to sold-out theaters and arenas nationwide. His wildly successful “Boujee On A Budget” tour sold more than 250,000 tickets and included multiple performances at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium, as well as his first arena show in his hometown of Birmingham.

Mathews offers fans a hilarious and deeply personal look at life not going according to plan. Through stories about relationships, family, fame, farm life, mental health, and the chaos of everyday living, Mathews delivers the brutally honest and relatable comedy that has earned him a fiercely loyal following. 

Recognized by Deadline among the "Future of Comedy" and praised by The Advocate for the path he continues to carve in entertainment, Mathews continues to build a career entirely on his own terms.
