Great guy

Pat went above and beyond to know our crowd. Unfortunately our guests were too busy catching up after not seeing each other for 2 years that they couldn’t pay attention. Those who engaged with Pat had a great time!

Our Special Wedding Ceremony!

First and foremost I wanted to say how beyond grateful My husband and I are to have found such an incredible Person to officiate our Wedding. Pat was extremely efficient from the moment we hired him. He reached out to me immediately and began to get to know who my husband and I were, not only individually but as a couple as well. Pat was very proactive as the months got closer, and always communicated with me. The thing I appreciated the most was his ability to officiate our ceremony in bilingual which he did beautifully! Pat was just so amazing to work with! He was beyond punctual on the Day of the wedding which meant alot to me. My family all loved him! The Ceremony was based on my Story with my Husband and Pat included our children which was very important to my husband and I. Words can't simply explain how blessed I was to have the honor of having Pat as our Wedding Officiant for we have found the right one! Thank you Pat for being you and for making our Wedding Day as Special as I could have imagined!

Standup comedy presentation for my daughter's 60th birthday.

Pat arrived exactly on time and was greeted enthusiastically by twelve guests including my daughter who was not aware that this was going to happen ( it was her 60th birthday party). Pat's presentation were tastefully performed according to our agreements through several earlier conversations. He was quick enough to help us enjoy my dog's deciding to howl like a little wolf during his 'act', finally kicking the instigating toy away. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a pleasant connection and memorable event. Thanks Pat!

Great officiant

Pat did a great job officiating our wedding! The ceremony he composed was thoughtful, light-hearted, and unique. We received many comments from our guests on how nice it was. If you're looking for some levity at your event with someone who carries themselves with some gravitas, Pat's your man.

Thanks again!

Wonderful Team Member, and Very Funny!

I hired Pat back in 2020 to join the B.Komplete Team as our in-house Comedian. Pat has always shown dedication and commitment to delivering funny and professional comedy shows for our corporate clients. Pat always does his research, and comes up with great custom jokes. Pat also aims to please and will do dress rehearsals and practice runs before each show. The great part is, we are doing all of the comedy shows virtually. This way, more employees can attend the shows. Pat is a wonderful comedian!

Hats off!!

Not everyday does a comedian get asked to officiate a wedding. With a little bit of hesitance and bewilderedness Pat set the stage and agreed. With humor and the upmost respect Pat delivered the most entertainingly hilarious event while keeping the amazing and sentimental touches that every wedding should have. Pat did an outstanding job and has still left my guests crying and laughing with joy. Pat was amazing to work with and onboard with every detail. Pat didn’t let us down in anyway. We continued on with an amazing experience and very special day.

Pat was very communicative over this app and text to coordinate his role as Emcee for our wedding. We had an unstructured ceremony and reception and Pat did the best he could to keep things rolling smoothly. Thanks for your help Pat.

WAYNE'S CLOSET INC., COMEDY/DINNER SHOW

Wayne's Closet Inc., is a Charity with Other Services that benefits Veterans, ALL First Responders & Their Families. Pat Rocchi (Rocky) entertained us all with his super funny comedy at our fundraiser held in Williamstown, N.J. on Friday, March 19, 2021. He did a fantastic job at making everyone laugh & had everyone's attention down to the last second of his performance. He also donated one of his books he has written for our raffle and personally autographed the book for the winner. He is reliable, professional, personable, & made sure he was satisfying to the persons booking him to all ages of our audience! It was a great pleasure & one in a life time opportunity to have met him & have him for our event. I highly recommend him & we will be booking him again in the near future. You should buy his book I am. Thank you from all of us at WAYNE'S CLOSET INC., PAT ROCCHI.

Fundraiser Comedy Show

Pat performed a virtual comedy show for our charity. I cannot even express what an amazing success this was. I was nervous to host a virtual comedy show at first as I have never attended one. All apprehension was lost once Pat got on the zoom. I think everyone on the zoom call forgot they were in their own living rooms. Pat really transported us all to the comedy club. Aside from the show being hilarious, Pat was such a joy to work with prior to our event. He scheduled several calls with myself and other board members to get to know us and the audience better. He then tailored his set to the audience (which was very hard since we had such a wide range of registrants). He even took it upon himself to advertise our fundraiser on his own social channels so that our organization could raise more money. Hire Pat - you won't be disappointed!

Perfect Zoom Guest Comedian

I wanted to do something different for my client. They had been having zoom happy hour meetings which had become a little tiresome. Enter comedian Pat Rocchi. I had seen his act in the comedy clubs and thought he was hysterical. So, I reached out and to my surprise I was able to book Pat for my clients zoom happy hour. It went great! Pat even took the time to learn about the company and the people on the call. He made it part of his act. I was thrilled and even better, so was my client. I would highly recommend comedian Pat Rocchi for you next zoom meeting, event or conference.

What to Expect

Pat Rocchi (pronounced "Rocky," like the boxing movie!) is a featured comedian on the East Coast who specializes in wry, adult observations on our crazy, complicated world. Pat can go from questioning how certain big box stores chose their names to complaining about how ED became a source of amusement, from the the challenges of raising children to be adults to challenges of living in the corporate world. He is smart, articulate, seemingly cranky, but best of all, screamingly funny.

About

Pat Rocchi (pronounced "Rocky," like the boxing movie!) is a comedian from Philadelphia who specializes in wry, adult observations on our crazy, complicated world. Drawing on both his life experiences as a corporate communicator and father, plus his wide education (an MBA and a Master of Education), Pat can go from questioning how certain big box stores chose their names to complaining about how ED became a source of amusement, from the the challenges of raising children to be adults to challenges of living in the corporate world. He is smart, articulate, seemingly cranky, but best of all, screamingly funny.

Additional Booking Notes

Being a stand-up comic, Pat requires little: a microphone with a decent sound system, a stool, and lights so the audience can see him will do the trick. If possible, the ability to play a CD or a sound file would be a bonus.
