Matteo Lane: From Chicago Open Mics to Sold-Out Theaters in Italy | The Pat McGann Show Ep. 37

Today we are taking a trip down Matteo Lane, but first, taking a right down memory Dwayne. Before his sold-out show at the Chicago Theater, Dwayne Kennedy and Pat McGann chat with the Chicago-raised, New York-based comedian. They discuss his journey from performing a three-minute open mic at Old Town Pub to sold-out theaters in Italy, Spain, and Australia. Along the way: why Grease makes absolutely no sense, Dionne Warwick's inexplicable omnipresence in Matteo's life, and the one phone call in 2021 that changed everything. Also, talk of Dress to Impress, not to be confused with hit reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show:Instagram: @thepatmcgannshowTikTok: @thepatmcgannshowApple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show🎤 Guest: Matteo LaneInstagram: @matteolane🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne KennedyInstagram: @dwaynetkennedy💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/patInterested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?
