Patricia Williams, known by her stage name Ms. Pat, was born on April 2, 1972, in Atlanta, Georgia. Her early life included significant hardships, such as giving birth to her first child at 14 and her second at 15. During her teenage years, she engaged in selling crack cocaine in Atlanta, adopting the street name “Rabbit.” Her life took a significant turn when she was encouraged by her caseworker to try comedy. She performed her first stand-up routine in Atlanta in 2002. In 2006, she moved to Indianapolis, where she further developed her comedic skills at Morty’s, a recognized comedy venue. These early experiences provided the foundation for her distinctive comedic voice, which often draws from her personal history.
Ms. Pat’s comedy career gained wider recognition in 2015 when she participated in the ninth season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” She has since appeared on various popular shows and podcasts, including those hosted by notable comedians such as Kevin Hart, Marc Maron, and Joe Rogan. Her presence on “The Bob & Tom Show” as a frequent guest further expanded her reach. In 2017, she released her debut stand-up album, “Rabbit,” sharing her life experiences through humor. The following year, in 2018, she was featured in Netflix’s stand-up series “The Degenerates.” Her hour-long Netflix comedy special, “Ms. Pat: Y’all Wanna Hear Something Crazy?” premiered on February 8, 2022, showcasing her unique perspective and comedic style to a global audience.
Beyond stand-up, Ms. Pat has achieved success in television and literature. “The Ms. Pat Show,” a sitcom based on her life, received a series order from BET+ in October 2020 and premiered on August 12, 2021. The series, which features J. Bernard Calloway as her husband and Tami Roman as her sister, was renewed for a second season on September 2, 2021. In 2023, she began hosting “Ms. Pat Settles It,” a comedic arbitration-based reality court show on BET. She is also the co-author of “Rabbit – The Autobiography of Ms. Pat,” a memoir detailing her upbringing, which was a finalist for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literature in 2018. Since 2019, she has hosted “The Patdown with Ms. Pat” podcast, where she discusses daily issues and shares personal stories, raising awareness about racial prejudice.
