In his brand new tour, Not What I Ordered, Matt brings his unfiltered stories, wild family chaos, farm life disasters, relationships, fame, and everyday struggles to the stage with the brutally honest humor fans love him for.

From awkward encounters and small-town drama to the reality of chasing dreams while trying to hold it all together, Matt proves that sometimes the best moments come from everything going completely off the rails. Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and outrageously relatable, Not What I Ordered is a night of comedy that reminds us life may not give you what you expected… but it’ll definitely give you something to laugh about.

Matt Mathews is a comedian, singer/songwriter, and unapologetic trailblazer whose raw honesty, razor-sharp wit, and unmistakable Southern charm have made him one of comedy’s fastest-rising stars. 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 built a devoted audience of more than 15 million followers and generated over a billion views across platforms.

What started as a playful escape from his full-time career as a boudoir photographer quickly evolved into a breakout comedy career. After performing stand-up for the first time in 2022, Mathews rapidly went from small clubs to sold-out theaters and arenas across the country. 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-ever arena show in his hometown of Birmingham.

Now, Mathews returns to the stage with his newest tour, Not What I Ordered — 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 kind of brutally honest comedy that has made fans feel like they’ve known him forever. Equal parts outrageous, heartfelt, and wildly relatable, the tour showcases his unique ability to turn life’s messiest moments into unforgettable comedy.

Mathews’ work is rooted in his real-life experiences as a farmer, barrel racer, entrepreneur, proud Alabamian, and openly gay entertainer navigating the industry with authenticity and humor. His perspective has earned him recognition from Deadline, which named him among the “Future of Comedy,” as well as praise from The Advocate for the path he continues to carve in entertainment.

Whether performing stand-up, recording music, or filming from the farm, Matt Mathews continues to build a career entirely on his own terms — proving that sometimes life may be not what you ordered, but it might turn out even better. For tour dates, music updates, and more, visit mattmathews.com.
