Patrick Bean Stand-up Comedy

Patrick Bean grew up in New Jersey and very quickly developed a sharp sense of humor. Always seeing the world a little differently than everyone else around him, Patrick honed his observational skills and shared his humorous thoughts. He started performing stand-up at age 16, performing throughout the NJ/NY/PA area.

In college (Rowan University Class of 2011), he was a founding member of an improvisational comedy troupe that came to be known as “The Second Place Champions.” This troupe performed in colleges up and down the east coast, bringing their unique show to a new generation of comedy fans.

Patrick was also a Telly award winning broadcaster in college for his work covering special on-campus events. He was also an anchor for the weekly news program throughout his tenure at Rowan. Patrick’s biggest college television accomplishment was co-hosting a live, five-hour telethon for three years in a row, which raised thousands of dollars for various charities.

Although he now resides in Arizona, the east coast temperament comes out onstage while he’s venting about life’s hypocrisies and telling stories from his life. Patrick was also a founding member of the Second Place Champions improv comedy troupe. He has opened for Rich Vos, Joey Kola, Don Jamieson, and Mike Marino. His debut comedy special, "Zen Comedy," is streaming now on Amazon Prime.
