Patton Oswalt

A comedian, actor, and writer, Patton Oswalt continues to find success in all areas of entertainment. From his award-winning comedy specials to his many memorable film roles and guest appearances on his favorite TV shows (including Parks and Recreation, for which he received a TV Critics Choice Award), Oswalt continues to choose work that inspires him and entertains audiences.

This past October, Oswalt released his special Annihilation on Netflix to critical acclaim as he addressed his own devastating loss and dealing with the unexplainable, while making it all painfully funny. Last year, he won the Emmy for “Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special” for his sixth comedy special Talking for Clapping (Netflix) and Grammy Award for his comedy album of the same name.

Patton plays series regular Principal Durbin on NBC’s midseason series AP Bio opposite Glenn Howerton, which premiered in February 2018. He was also on the Netflix show Lady Dynamite starring fellow comedian Maria Bamford, on HBO’s Veep, and was recently on the big screen in the film adaptation of Dave Eggers’ novel The Circle alongside Tom Hanks and Emma Watson.

Both of his published books Zombie Spaceship Wasteland (2011) and Silver Screen Fiend (2015) are New York Times Best Sellers.
