19. BONUS: The Patrice O’Neal Roast

Welcome to Comedy Anatomy’s very first Bonus Episode: The Patrice O’Neal Roast!

The Patrice O’Neal Roast was produced by Masavia Greer and Yumi Akiyama. It features some of the greatest comics of the New York scene, and is part of comedy history.

Held at NYC's Boston Comedy Club in 2003, this never-before-seen roast was hosted by Rich Vos and featured Robert Kelly, DC Benny, Vanessa Hollingshead, Colin Quinn, Todd Barry, Jim Norton, Bill Burr, Lynne Koplitz, Ben Bailey, Keith Robinson, and most importantly, Greg Giraldo AND the great Patrice O’Neal. Rest in peace, you are both missed.

Many believe Patrice was one of the greatest comics to ever hit the stage, and that he died before getting the recognition he truly deserved. This roast is a look into his life, and the comics who loved him.

We’re excited to share the full-length audio of this roast on the Comedy Anatomy Podcast.

BE ADVISED THAT THIS WAS PERFORMED 18 YEARS AGO, SO PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE PARLANCE OF THE TIMES.
