| Since first stepping foot on his first stage at the age of 19 years old in Hamilton, Ontario, where he calls home, Patrick decided to walk the path of a stand-up comedian. Since then, he has honed his craft with an honest, no holds barred routine, sharing stories of the best and worst moments in his life, including the glories & pitfalls of being a young, single parent. It's evident in his act, which has audiences laughing all across North America, that 'embarrassment' is not in Patrick's vocabulary. Patrick has opened for the likes of Ari Shaffir (Comedy Central), Gilbert Gottfried (Comedy Central), Brian Posehn (The Sarah Silverman Program), Neil Hamburger, and most recently Tom Green (MTV), with whom Patrick has been touring the world since 2013. |
