Matteo Lane Turns Rejected Content into Hulu Stand-up Special

Matteo Lane is giving us all the laughs we need in his new stand-up special, “Matteo Lane: The Al Dente Special,” now streaming on Hulu. If you’re not already familiar with Lane, let me tell you, he’s the whole package. From his geeky charm to his killer humor, he’s got it all. Just ask his 1.7 million Instagram followers or Variety, who named him one of their “10 Comics to Watch.”

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Lane to get his special made. He recorded an hour of material that he had been working on for years, hoping to sell it to Netflix or another platform. Unfortunately, they all rejected it. Instead of giving up, Lane took the advice of fellow comic Andrew Schultz and started sharing clips of his material online. And it paid off – the clips went viral, and now we have the joy of watching his full special.

Lane’s special is a mix of self-deprecating humor, clever insights, and relatable stories. His quick wit and fast-paced style, influenced by comedy legends like Joan Rivers, Kathy Griffin, and Margaret Cho, make it feel like you’re having a chat with an old friend. In a world full of heavy topics, Lane wanted to create something that would make people laugh and forget their worries for an hour. And he succeeded.

So, if you’re in need of a good laugh, be sure to check out “Matteo Lane: The Al Dente Special” on Hulu. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
