Matt Mathews Brings NOT WHAT I ORDERED World Tour To Mohegan Sun Arena

Stand-up comedian and musician Matt Mathews is set to bring his highly anticipated Not What I Ordered World Tour to Mohegan Sun Arena for one night only on Saturday, April 10, 2027 at 8:00pm.

Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 21st at 10:00am via Ticketmaster, with Box Office sales beginning the following day.

Matt Mathews is a comedian, singer/songwriter, along with 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
