May 2nd & 3rd
Patrice O'Neal
SPECIAL EVENT
Shows at 8:30pm & 10:15pm

Patrice got his first real taste of stand-up at a place called Estelle's in Boston. He was heckling a comic, and the comic suggested maybe Patrice thought he could do better. Patrice did and the following week he went on stage at Estelle's and brought down the house. From there he went on to work at the Comedy Connection, then moved to working at most of the clubs in and around Boston, New England, and New York. Now, years later, Patrice has a wide range of comic tools. In one bit, Patrice, at 6'5'' and 300+ lbs., makes the audience hear and almost see the story of the eastern European gymnast quietly speaking of her difficult upbringing and training. The Boston Globe said, "It is a hilarious piece made all the more so by the contradiction between Oneal's very visible presence and that of the young white girl he is playing." Asked to whom he aspires, Patrice mentions only two names: George Carlin and Richard Pryor. Carlin for his distinct point of view and universal appeal; Pryor for his honesty, vulnerability and Personal revelation. Patrice has appeared on "The Late Show with Conan O'Brien" three times and was a regular on the very popular, Comedy Central's “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn”. He has also performed stand-up at both the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs and the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Additionally Patrice has Guest Starred on numerous Television Shows including FOX’s critically acclaimed “Arrested Development” and NBC’s “The Office”. He was also a series regular on FOX’s drama, “The Jury”. You can hear him voicing the animated shows “Shorties Watchin’ Shorties” on Comedy Central and “O’Grady High” on Noggin. Catch Patrice in the films "The 25th Hour" directed by Spike Lee, "In The Cut" with Meg Ryan and "Head Of State" with Chris Rock. Patrice has also performed half hour specials on both Showtime, Comedy Central. and his own HBO “One Night Stand” half hour special.

Sometimes known as the funny guy in the suit, this Seattle-based, Canadian-born comic brings to the stage a fresh and funny take on everything from married life (I have a hard time meeting women…maybe it’s because my wife is always hanging around) to fatherhood (Nobody wants ‘the fat kid”—just ask my parents) to everything in between (I like to work with my hands—currently, I’m restoring a 2006 iPod). Duane has performed at some of North America’s best-known comedy clubs including Las Vegas’ Riviera Comedy Club, Yuk Yuks, Comedyworks and The Comedy Store. Duane has also taken Seattle by storm, performing at such venues as The Paramount Theatre, The Moore Theatre and McCaw Hall.
