The Show
Joe sits down with Ms Pat, one of the most refreshing voices in comedy right now, and they dive deep into her incredible rise from nothing to becoming a major force in entertainment. What makes this conversation special is how Pat doesn't pull punches about her journey. She's built an empire through sheer authenticity and refusal to water down who she is for anyone.
The episode touches on everything from her Netflix special 'Y'all Wanna Hear Something Crazy?' to her work on the BET+ series 'The Ms. Pat Show.' What's clear throughout the conversation is that Pat uses comedy as more than just a way to make people laugh. She uses it to process her past, to educate people about experiences they might not otherwise understand, and to break down barriers that exist in comedy and entertainment. The woman is genuinely funny, but there's also real substance to what she does.
Pat talks about the grind it took to get to where she is now, the doubts people had along the way, and how she had to stay true to herself when the industry tried to push her in certain directions. She's also hosting 'The Patdown' podcast where she can control her own narrative and connect directly with her audience. What comes through in this conversation is someone who is not interested in the traditional gatekeepers of success. She's built her career by being unapologetically herself and finding audiences who appreciate that realness.
