Lipstick Mom Featuring Patti Vasquez
For over 20 years, Patti Vasquez has been traveling the country as a headlining stand-up comic in comedy clubs, casinos, and colleges. Her TV special MY LIFE IS A JOKE aired on The Oprah Network and she co-hosted the daytime talk show pilot FUNNY GIRLS for ABC Television. For six years the Chicago native hosted her own nightly talk show PRETTY LATE WITH PATTI VASQUEZ on WGN and was #1 in its time slot. Now, she is the host of the wildly popular DRIVING IT HOME WITH PATTI VASQUEZ on WCPT, Chicago’s HEARTLAND SIGNAL.
In addition to headlining comedy venues all over the world, Patti has written and performed three hit solo shows for theater audiences: Tequila and Shamrocks: Every Flower Has Her Roots, Pregnant Party Girl: From Stoli’s to Stirrups, Mamacita: Tales of a Diaper Diva. On television, Patti has appeared on NICK’S MOM’S NIGHT OUT on Nickelodeon, THE VERY FUNNY SHOW on TBS, MTV’s Tr3s, COMICS UNLEASHED and COMEDY.TV along with regular appearances on the popular Bob and Tom TV Show on Superstation WGN and their daily morning radio show syndicated in 139 cities across the country. On NBC’S CHICAGO FIRE, Patti has a recurring role as NURSE PATTI and she recently co-starred with DOUG STANHOPE in the critically acclaimed film ROAD DOG. She has appeared in many comedy festivals including Just For Laughs, HBO’s Las Vegas Comedy Festival, the Chicago Comedy Festival and Marshall’s Women in Comedy Festival in New York City.
Patti’s solo show Lipstick Mom pushes back on the stereotypes of motherhood. Her hilarious take on the foibles of the human experience keeps people coming back to see what she has to say about relationships, pop culture and random encounters with strangers who have no idea she’s cataloging their ridiculous behavior to share with audiences all over the world.
