Biography

Born January 27th, 1969 in Sterling, Virginia, Patton Oswalt started headlining comedy clubs in 1996. A noted comedian, actor, and writer (Patton has written for MadTV), he has had roles both in film and on the small screen, such as Magnolia and the sitcom King of Queens.

Oswalt’s style of stand-up comedy is often described as acerbic and sarcastic, and it covers a great deal of subject matter. Topics range from pop culture frivolity such as comic book supervillains and 1980s hair metal to deeper societal issues like American excess, rampant materialism and foreign policy. Critics have recognized Oswalt for employing keen wit, biting insight and unabashed love of the absurd. Quite a few of his routines are about vice, especially pornography and alcohol. A famous line: “Do you think you have a problem when you refer to all alcohol as ‘pain-go-bye-bye-juice’?”

Oswalt has described himself as a “man without a country” in that he dislikes both George W. Bush and hippies. In February 2004, some jokes critical of President Bush got him booed off the stage in Pittsburgh.

In 2004 Oswalt released a comedy album entitled Feelin’ Kinda Patton and later that year a longer, unedited version of the same recording called 222, both through the United Musicians collective. He is also on a split EP called “Patton Vs. Alcohol Vs. Zach Vs. Patton” with Zach Galifianakis.

    I'm not well versed on the topic of American stand-up comedians, rarely it is possible for a Polish guy to relate or 'get' some of the topics involved, so don't lynch me if what I'm about to write has been written thousands of times before and/or is considered heresy (if you believe Patton is the comedian in his own right) BUT, having just found out about him through Cracked, and having just listened to his 'Werewolves and Lollipops' album this is what I gathered - damn does he project Bill Hicks well. Same 'left of the center-ism', same anti-mainstream rage, hell, even their voices are somewhat similar.

    "Hey KFC I really love your food." "PROVE IT BY BURNING YOURSELF!" I laughed soooo damn hard at that entire bit when I first listened to it. I even thought of it the next day and randomly started laughing.[2]
