A man of many talents, Matteo Lane used to live in Italy working as a painter and an opera singer before he returned to Chicago to start his comedy career.

Since moving to New York City more than a decade ago, Lane has become a favorite at the Comedy Cellar, where he filmed “The Advice Special” in 2022 and its follow-up “Hair Plugs & Heartache” in 2023. Lane has also appeared in the L.G.B.T.Q. stand-up documentary “Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution,” as well as in episodes of “Abbott Elementary” and “Survival of the Thickest.” Lane’s recipe and essay collection, “Your Pasta Sucks: A ‘Cookbook,’” came out on Tuesday, while his first special for Hulu, “Matteo Lane: The Al Dente Special,” will premiere on May 16.

Tickets to his performance at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday start at $46.50 on Ticketmaster. SEAN L. McCARTHY
