Angelone also recently filmed his second stand-up special at Glasgow's Oran Mor, which is set for release soon. He has previously supported comedians such as Russell Howard, Michael Che, Ivo Graham, and Adam Rowe, and co-hosts the podcast Mike & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting with fellow comedian Mike Rice.

Comedian forced to release statement and video proving he DID nutmeg ex-Man Utd star in charity match
COMEDIAN Vittorio Angelone has released a hilarious statement after nutmegging a Manchester United legend in a charity match. The Italian-Irish comic swapped stand-up for the pitch as a team of Premier League icons faced celebrity side Tea With Me FC in Belfast on Saturday. Ryan Giggs, Dimitar Berbatov, Karel Poborsky, Jermaine Pennant and Stiliyan Petrov were just some of the legends in action. But Angelone stole the show by incredibly popping the ball through Berbatov 's legs. The comedian got the ball deep in midfield and baited the two-time Premier League champion towards him before producing a clever nutmeg. Angelone then quickly passed to a team-mate and did his best Alan Shearer impression, running off in celebration with his arm aloft. Berbatov was seen laughing as ex- Liverpool man Jason McAteer gave the comedian a high-five. Angelone released a hilariously statement on social media after the match, saying: "Just want to get ahead of the rumours here. Earlier today I played in a charity football match against a Premier League legends team. "A lot of people are claiming that I did not nutmeg Dimitar Berbatov, these people are nasty characters and should not be trusted. "My team and I are working tirelessly to get the footage from multiple angles. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS "Please respect mine and my family's privacy at this time." In a later upload before posting the video, Angelone wrote: "We have the footage. They tried to silence me but the truth will come out." Ruben Amorim vows 'good days are coming' after 'disaster season' as Man Utd flops give him daggers during public apology Fans found it hilarious, with one saying: "Celebrated like you won the World Cup brother. Fair play." Another added: "Should've just walked off the pitch after that." A third commented: "I cannot express to you how jealous I am right now." Ahead of his Edinburgh Fringe appearance, more said: "Before you ask, yes, it's too late to change the Fringe show name to I Nutmegged Berbatov." 3
