“Fire in the hole!” 5 year old Pat delivered his first punch line to drunk adults at a bar discussing smoking. Pat remembered a cartoon image of a character being blown up, with smoke coming out of their mouth, holding a sign that said…“Fire in the hole!” Laughter erupted, and he thought, “seemed easy enough.”

Ridiculous stories from a life of getting into unique scenarios, a love of word associations, remembering things and drawing connections have given Pat his sense of humor.

Distracted by self-doubt, the american dream, and any other excuse he could conjure, Pat didn’t become a full time comedian until his late 30s. Finally in his early 40s he is finding his voice and now knows all he has to do is be himself on stage.
