BIO/RESUME - Pat House

BIO/RESUME

Pat House began his comedy career/obsession at the age of 19. After four years of daydreaming in high school of being a stand-up comedian, Pat finally took his scribbled notes to an open-mic in October 2004. Having received (what he considered) a decent reaction from the audience, he immediately began seeking comedy stages all over the Philadelphia area.

Attending class during the day while telling jokes at night, Pat hosted Comedy Central Live!!! in Philadelphia, took second place in Howard Stern’s “Kill or Be Killed” competition and was named one of the top up-and-coming comedians in the city by Philadelphia Weekly. By age 22, Pat was making a name for himself, performing in comedy clubs all over the Philadelphia-area while making regular local television and radio appearances such as The Kidd Chris Show on 94.1 WYSP and DigPhillyTV on NBC.

Now at 25, Pat is performing as much as possible to avoid using his college education.
