Mathis continued to perform live until 2025. Starting in 2000, he limited his concert performances to about 50 to 60 per year. Mathis was one of the last pop singers to travel with his own full orchestra, as opposed to a band. He frequently collaborated with comedians [[Gary Mule Deer]] and [[Brad Upton (comedian)|Brad Upton]], who provided stand-up comedy routines in between his sets.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Swick |first1=Shaun |title=30 Years of Comedy: Q&A with Brad Upton |url=https://www.cityartsmagazine.com/30-years-comedy-qa-brad-upton/ |website=City Arts Magazine |date=August 26, 2014}}</ref>
