A Queer Comedy Superstar

Comedian Matteo Lane is on the road across North America with his new show, The Al Dente Tour! Named by Variety as one of the Top Ten Comics To Watch, the 36-year-old Illinois native has cemented his global popularity with appearances on Netflix's "Stand Out", a celebration of the best of LGBTQ+ comedy, as well as appearances alongside Aziz Ansari and Chelsea Handler among others. 

Switching careers from local singer to local comedian on the Chicago scene in 2011, Lane's big breaks came when he appeared on MTV's Guy Codes, Ladylike and Joking Off. He has since gone on to global superstardom and, as well as his side-splitting routines, is known as a vocal advocate of the gay community.
