Following the success of his sold-out Boujee On A Budget Tour, comedian Matt Mathews announces his NOT WHAT I ORDERED WORLD TOUR which includes a show at Citizens Live at The Wylie in Pittsburgh, PA, on October 8, 2026. Pre-sales will begin on Tuesday, May 19 at 10 am with the general on-sale on Thursday, May 21 at 10 am.
”Taking this tour around the world honestly feels unreal to me,” said Matt Mathews. “Growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, I never imagined my life would look anything like this. I started out making videos and telling jokes online, and now I’m getting the opportunity to perform for people not just across the United States, but in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. The support from fans over the years has completely changed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful and excited to bring this tour to audiences all over the world. It really feels like a dream I never knew was possible.”
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.
Additionally, Matt recently turned his popular Farm Chores videos into a YouTube series called, Farm Chores with Matt Matthews & Friends that premiered in March 2026 with Funny Marco and has since had Heather McMahan, Dasha, Trailer Trash Tammy, and Anjelah Johnson on to name a few. He also stars in the digital series, Doin The Most with Matt Mathews and Kail Lowry with Season 2 premiering this summer.
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.
