Memphis comedy enthusiasts are in for a treat as the renowned comedian Ms. Pat gears up to hit the stage at Minglewood Hall on March 15th as part of her “Ya Girl Done Made It” comedy tour.
“I honestly didn’t know if I had a big enough audience in Memphis, but people kept asking me to come,” said Ms. Pat. “So I told my agent to book the show and I cannot wait to get there and make my fans happy.”
Ms. Pat, who was raised on the streets of Atlanta, gained recognition in the comedy community for her unreserved and brutally honest humor. She addresses subjects like family dynamics and societal issues by drawing on her personal experiences, all the while delivering punchlines with perfect timing and wit.
It all started with her standup career where she started discussing her life drawing connections from being a convicted felon and the rough streets of Atlanta into connecting with her audience. There was one joke in particular that led to her tw0-time Emmy-nominated BET sitcom, The Ms. Pat Show.
“The more I did interviews, the more I started to paint a picture, and that is when I started to get calls from Hollywood,” says Ms. Pat.
Now that the Ms. Pat Show is on season three, Ms. Pat has been making strides to connect with her audience on different levels. Her standup special Y’all Want to Hear Something Crazy is currently streaming on Netflix.
“I always say I am like a buffet,” says Ms. Pat. “I try to create stuff to where if you don’t like this then maybe you will like this.”
Her weekly court style show, Ms. Pat Settles It, recently premiered on BET. The show resembles the Judge Judy show. The comedian and her jury of comedy friends resolve conflicts that arise on a daily basis.
“I am just so thankful and grateful to be in this position,” said Ms. Pat. “Not only am I doing what I want to do, but I am also helping young and up-and-coming comedians with this tour.”
Tickets for the Minglewood show can be found on Ticketmaster and Ms. Pat’s official website.
