Stand-up Comedy with Patti Harrison

“Poised to become the most visible working trans comedian in America” (Rolling Stone)

Patti Harrison recently completed production for the third season of Hulu’s Shrill, in which she plays Aidy Bryant’s “sociopath-adjacent” coworker. She next appears in a lead role, opposite Ed Helms, in director Nikole Beckwith’s feature Together Together.

In the summer of 2019, she was honored as one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch at that year’s prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal. She co-hosted the Forever Dog podcast, “A Woman’s Smile,” alongside Lorelai Ramirez, and previously hosted monthly shows “It’s a Guy Thing” at Union Hall in NY and “Died & Gone to Heaven” at the Largo in LA. Patti has been profiled by Rolling Stone, The New York Times, GQ, Interview, Time, Vulture, NYLON, and BUST magazines, among others. Her impressive list of TV writing credits include Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson and Big Mouth. She can be seen on screen in Paul Feig’s feature A Simple Favor and television shows High Maintenance, Search Party, The Tonight Show, Full Frontal, and Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave. 

Harrison will be performing her original stand-up comedy at Oberlin's historic Finney Chapel, and opened by student stand-up comics. This event is open to Oberlin students and staff only, Oberlin ID required for admittance. Audio and video recording is prohibited.
