Patrice ONeal

RIP Patrice O'Neal.

Patrice suffered a stroke back in October and sadly died last night from complications.

Patrice O'Neal was major player in the comedy club world and a regular guest on the "Opie and Anthony" radio show.

He was also in a variety of TV shows like "Chappelle Show," "The Office," and "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn."

He most recently performed at the "Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen" in September where he laid into Seth MacFarlane. 

Patrice was also known for his famous laugh that could be heard coming from dark corners in the back of comedy rooms when he wasn't performing.
The comedy world loved him, we loved him, it is a sad day because it's a day without Patrice. He will be missed.
Patrice was 41.

wow! RIP Patrice :( feels like i was just watching you crack jokes on the charlie sheen roast

So bummed. Patrice was awesome. One time he fell asleep leaning on me in the back of a comedy club - we were sitting next to each other on a bench and he just slowly leaned over and rested his head on my shoulder and literally snored through the rest of the show. My shoulder was sweaty and gross but I didn't move a muscle. Miss you Patrice!
