Matteo Lane: Back Down Under

International comedy star Matteo Lane brings his sharp wit and musical charisma to the iconic State Theatre in Sydney on 5 September 2025 for his Back Down Under tour. Known for his blend of stand-up and song, Lane’s comedy is bold, charming, and effortlessly hilarious.

From sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall to critically acclaimed specials on Hulu, Matteo Lane has carved out a global reputation as one of comedy’s most original voices. His sets are a mix of self-deprecating anecdotes, observations on modern life, and vibrant musical moments that reflect his diverse artistic background.

Audiences can expect a tightly crafted performance that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and emotionally authentic. Lane draws from personal stories, particularly his experiences as a gay man navigating everything from relationships to cultural quirks, all delivered with theatrical flair and fearless honesty.

The State Theatre — one of Sydney’s most treasured venues — sets the perfect stage for this electrifying night of entertainment. With its grand interiors and top-tier acoustics, it’s the ideal place to experience Lane’s magnetic presence live.

Doors open at 6:30pm, with the show starting at 7:30pm and running through to 9:00pm. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster and include a $1 Restoration Levy as part of the admission.
