Matteo Lane is a multifaceted talent known for his unique blend of
stand-up comedy, musical prowess, and artistic versatility. Lane’s
journey has taken him from his hometown of Chicago to New York City
comedy clubs to sold-out performances across the globe, including at
Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.

Previously named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” and
described by The Advocate as “bold and unflinchingly genuine,”
Lane tackles a wide range of topics, from his experiences as a gay man
to hilarious insights into everyday life.

His comedy cookbook Your Pasta Sucks will be published by Chronicle
Books on April 1st. Organized by the most important places and people
in his life—from Chicago and New York to Rome and
Sicily—Matteo’s first cookbook features recipes rooted in serious
pasta knowledge but presented with his signature snarky and sassy wit.

On screen, his credits include the Amazon Original film Upgraded, the
Netflix series Survival of the Thickest (opposite Michelle Buteau),
the feature film Molli and Max in the Future, which premiered at SXSW,
and Netflix’s all-queer stand-up special Outstanding: A Comedy
Revolution.

Fluent in five languages and with a singing range of six octaves, Lane
lived in Italy as an oil painter and classically trained opera singer
before starting his comedy career. He is now based in New York City.
