Welcome

Pat Brice was an amazing, gifted and popular Chicago comic who passed away shortly before his 30th birthday.  He is widely remembered as one of the best, if not the best, Chicago comic from his time.

This is a blog where Pat's comedy can be shared and remembered.  You can find the following here:

writings: Pat was a member of Blerds, a popular Chicago comedy blog.  He regularly contributed current topic and stream-of-conscious writings to Blerds and they are all re-printed here.

audio clips: Pat co-hosted The Visitors Locker Room with CJ Sullivan, Sean Flannery and more.  The Visitors Locker Room was a daily parody of sports media.  Some of Pat's highlights are hosted here and we are in the process of getting the archives of each episode (that survived our drinking) online as well.

video clips: Pat was a gifted standup comedian and there are several clips of him performing live.

Please enjoy this site the same way Pat would- by laughing loudly, then screaming that some insignificant part of the website isn't working correctly.
