About Patton Oswalt
Oswalt has been building his stand-up reputation for over 30 years, and if anything his material has sharpened with age. Known for densely packed, hyper-referential comedy that ranges from pop culture obsession to deeply personal territory, he’s released a string of acclaimed specials — including Annihilation, which dealt with the death of his wife with unflinching honesty and genuine humor. He’s also a recognizable face from King of Queens, Ratatouille, Justified: City Primeval, and dozens of other projects. The Effervescent tour is new material, which means this is a chance to see where Oswalt’s head is at in 2026.
