Ms. Pat's early career sounds a little bit like the role Sally Field's in the 1988 movie about comedy, Punchline, except only Ms. Pat grew up in a bootleg house in Atlanta, became a mother of two by the time she was 15, sold drugs, was shot twice, and arrested multiple times all before she met her future husband at 19. Her husband brought her stability. Her comedy brought her joy and a newfound purpose in life. How she made that transition, from a big break opening for Katt Williams, through her first time appearing on radio's Bob and Tom Show, through 2015 where she appeared on NBC's Last Comic Standing and Comedy Central's This is Not Happening.
