Oh, Mr. Lane...

Matteo IS funny. He just is.

And I think that some people are naturally funny. Take Mads, for example, who has the crazy non-sequiturs and the wittiest deadpans when in person (and when writing!). I have several friends who seem to be able to do that effortlessly, BTW. 

And to do stand up comedy? That's HARD. I really admire people who can weave such creative, funny and most times personal stories and create a coherent, hilarious narrative (think Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, Kathy Griffin and well, Matteo). But like Matteo says: practice makes perfect. But you DO need to have that 'it' factor...

So, who's YOUR fav Queer open mike comedian? I’m always up for a good laugh. 

XOXO 

P. S. Matteo currently has a special on Hulu/ Disney called The Al Dente Special . Totally recommend.
