The words raw and uncut fail to encapsulate the audacity of comedian Ms. Pat's brand of humor.
Her Emmy-nominated series "The Ms. Pat Show" — a multigenerational family comedy not unlike "Roseanne" but with much sharper language — deals with issues like abortion, addiction and abuse. The third season of the multi-cam sitcom premiered on BET last week.
In her 2022 Netflix comedy special, "Ya'll Wanna Hear Something Crazy," the comedian, born Patricia Williams, touches on various episodes of personal trauma — from being groomed by a married man at 12 and bearing his child at 14 to having to "prepare" her disabled Uncle Cecil for appointments with a sex worker. Both are true stories.
