Patton Oswalt set to bring the laughs to Huntington

Patton Oswalt, with his quick wit, started as a stand-up comedian in 1988. His career took off after getting a break as a sketch comedy writer for MADtv and starring in his own 1996 comedy special for HBO. He has released ten stand-up specials and won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special and a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for his Netflix special Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping (2016). Now, on Nov. 19, 2026, Oswalt brings his award-winning stand-up to The Paramount in Huntington. When he was asked what’s in store for fans at that show, he said, “Brand-new material that I’m working on. Whatever is going on in my life, I will be talking about it as clumsily and honestly as I can.”
