One of the top headlining acts in Chicago, his very first one-hour comedy special, “What A Time To Be Alive,” was released in early 2022. You can also see and hear him weekly on “The Pat Tomasulo Podcast,” one of the highest-charting podcasts on Apple’s “Stand-Up Comedy” podcast rankings.

Pat is also the creator and host of “Laugh Your Face Off,” an annual comedy benefit that has raised over $2.6M for The Facial Pain Research Foundation, a group that funds research to cure trigeminal neuralgia, a rare pain condition his wife, Amy, suffers from.
