Patti Vasquez, a Chicago native, got her start over a decade ago after leaving graduate school at Northwestern University to work as an emcee at Zanies Comedy Club. While she disappointed her parents by never completing her Ph.D in history, she has gone on to star in two hit one-woman shows- “Pregnant Party Girl: From Stoli’s to Stirrups” and “Mamacita: Tales of a Diaper Diva” written by Patti and performed for theater audiences throughout the United States. Patti’s unique perspective on family and relationships has been described as "Comedy with a Heart." Her stories about growing up in a multi ethnic American family cause laughter at the unique but all too familiar situations. Patti also exposes the truths about pregnancy and shares the comic moments of giving birth and raising children. She is not afraid to mock, poke fun and examine all the myths, half truths and innuendo most people shy away from. Patti has appeared in comedy festivals including HBO’s Las Vegas Comedy Festival, the Chicago Comedy Festival and Marshall’s Women in Comedy Festival in New York. As a regular guest on the wildly popular Bob and Tom Show, Patti has enjoyed the opportunity to reach audiences around the world. She is currently touring with the Bob and Tom Comedy All Stars. Patti, who is an outspoken advocate for Breast Cancer Research, has created a clever tongue-in-cheek campaign to get women and men more involved and interested in breast cancer research and events. She has participated in fund-raising events with groups such as Gilda’s Club and the Brain Research Foundation in Chicago. She also helps raise funds for Avon’s Breast Cancer Crusade, Y-ME & the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Questions? Ask Patti |
