HEADLINER, Ms. Pat is her name and comedy is her thing. Having performed now for more than two years, Ms. Pat has already earned the respect in the comedy industry that takes others years to obtain. This married mother of four has stepped onto the stage with a presence so fierce that she leaves her audience breathless and gasping for more! This new and upcoming comedienne is a vivacious, boisterous woman from Atlanta, Georgia who says whatever is on her mind. She talks about everything from issues in the news, receiving her GED, bad relationships and her four bad kids (she claims)….

Nato Green continues the tradition of hard-hitting Jewish comedians like Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, and Joe Lieberman.

Nato is the creator of Iron Comic, the Iron Chef-spoofing hit comedy game show that packed houses at SF Sketchfest four years running and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, Oregon in 2010 & 2011. Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket said Nato is, "Righteous and hilarious, bracing and a hoot, Nato Green is like finding a shot of bourbon at your co-worker's stupid vegan potluck."
