The Atlanta-born standup comedian and comedy writer Ms. Pat, also known as Patricia Williams, has truly seen it all. Her comedy crackles with hard-edged realism, which is unsurprising given that Ms. Pat overcame an early life on the streets, has been shot twice, served jail time and raised two kids she had as a teenager. Ms. Pat’s sitcom, “The Ms. Pat Show,” is returning for a second season starting Aug. 11 on BET+. She also currently has a one-hour comedy special on Netflix titled “Y’all Wanna Hear Something Crazy,” and her podcast, “The Patdown with Ms. Pat,” is released weekly via the podcast comedy network Starburns Audio.
