Mindy's Comedy Archives

Matteo Lane enters the archives at The Creek and The Cave's Thanksgiving celebration on November 22, 2012. Over the next few years, he is on every major show in rapid succession. Our interview covers his time living in an attic while hitting the open mics with fellow comedian Evan Wiliams all the way through his audition at The Cellar. (It went well!) Now, Matteo is successfully touring everywhere. You can see his special on Hulu , get some much needed advice from Matteo and his fellow comedians on his Youtube, and see him in person whenever you can!
