Feast of Fun

Fiesta de Felicidad. Matteo Lane shows off his rollerblading, lip syncing bilingual skills on “Noches Con Platanito” the only talk show we know of that’s hosted by a clown. Photos: Noches con Platanito, Phil Provencio.

It’s not like gay comedians are followed onstage by unicorns and rainbows to clue the audience in that they are gay, so in order for the jokes to get a laugh, the comedians have to come out of the closet every time they perform. You have to land running, or in Mateo Lane’s case – you have to land skipping.

Today comedian Matteo Lane joins us to talk about the never ending process of coming out to your audience every single time you go on stage.

Listen as Matteo kiki’s with us about his appearance on the late night Mexican talk show “Noches con Platanito” where he and Drew Carey Show star Diedrich Bader slapped on some wigs and lip synced for their lives, his friendship with Bob the Drag Queen and pissing off Vanessa Williams on the red carpet.
