In 2017, Harper Collins published Pat&#8217;s memoir Rabbit, which was nominated for an NAACP Award for Outstanding Literary Work. Rotten Tomatoes included it on their list of &#8220;Books Becoming TV Series We Cannot Wait to See.&#8221; Pat performs standup to sold-out audiences of rabid fans across the country. She is also a beloved voice on the podcast circuit, with her own popular podcast The Patdown and multiple appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience, The Bertcast w\/Bert Kreischer, and The Breakfast Club, to name a few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Ms. Pat&#8217;s first hour-long comedy special with Netflix.
