Our Story

Inside the Closet is the brainchild of NYC-based comics Emma Willmann and Matteo Lane. Their podcast acts as a window into their close friendship, and the real conversations between comedians. Instead of discussing the industry or the life of a comic, Inside the Closet offers a genuine and candid look at what goes on backstage at a comedy show. As members of the LGBT+ community, Emma and Matteo know what it's like being the only q***r people in a lineup. At Inside the Closet, no one should ever edit themselves, or feel unwelcome. In fact, the gayer the better. They’re here to dish on anything and everything, answer your questions, and make you laugh.

About the Hosts:

Emma Willmann appeared on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Crashing, The Late Show with Steven Colbert, and was featured in Time Out New York as one of the 10 funniest women in New York City. She also hosts The Check Spot on Serius Xm. Her material is “funny first,” meaning when she’s on stage she’ll talk about anything, no matter how personal or scary, as long as it gets her audience laughing.

Matteo Lane grew up singing to birds in Chicago. Since then, he’s been on Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, MTV, Logo, TruTV, and Comedy Central. He's also the host of Ghost Hunt on Snapchat. He trained as an opera singer and oil painter in Italy before becoming a stand-up comedian. He does a mean Liza Minnelli impersonation, and has some harsh, but fair, advice for some of the gay community’s favorite divas.
