Matty Fontana Live in Chicago
Matty Fontana Live in Chicago
This event is recommended for ages 21+.
Matty Fontana is weird. Plain and simple. He’s a cross between your average sarcastic neighborhood guy and someone who grew up in a traveling circus. Think if Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton and Wes Anderson had immaculately conceived a baby. That’s Matty. He knows you’ve never heard of him and is fine with that. Originally from South Boston MA, Fontana resides in Los Angeles and has played all the hottest room around town and across the country. Although it’s his first time doing standup in Chicago, he is a red shirt graduate of the LA chapter of Second City (Not the same, he knows.) and has performed in Chicago Sketch Fest. (One time) He was selected by Iliza Shlesinger to be one of the up and coming comics showcased in the Hulu series ILiza’s Locals. You can watch it if you have Hulu. If you don’t have Hulu, you can watch it on Disney+. He is excited to perform at The Den and for the wonderful people of Chicago! Not quite convinced? Here are some totally unfabricated reviews.
“Matty Fontana is a well rounded story teller. A vulnerable open book. His dumb face and accent make him seem like he has trouble reading yet I find him incredibly sexy for some reason. I’m jealous of him and grateful I’m not him at the same time. It’s so weird. Would smash” - Ariana Grande
“Matty is very funny. Smells like Old Spice and Miller Lite. You can’t smell him from the audience unfortunately. I’d settle for a hug, but, low-key, I’d prefer to smash.” -Caitlin Clark
“Watching Matty Fontana on stage is like watching a golden retriever with ADD navigate his way through a PetCo. I’d totally smash though. No cap.” -Timothée Chalamet
