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).
