Pat Barker is one of my longest friends in comedy; we started together around the exact same time and came up in the Philly scene. We discuss our early days, his move to Los Angeles, getting in on the ground floor of Roast Battle, writing for the Comedy Central roasts, and the moment that literally changed his life.

Pat House is a nationally-touring comedian based out of Philadelphia. A regular performer in comedy clubs, casinos, and theaters all over the country, Pat has been a choice opener for Sebastian Maniscalco, Tom Segura, and Dan Cummins. He recorded his first album Biggest Thing in 2013, and his latest album Heard Enough Yesterday, hit #1 on the iTunes comedy charts. Both can be heard on iTunes, Amazon, and Pandora.
