event. Pat not only warmed up and
entertained our 250+ attendees; she kept the energy up throughout the
evening. She motivated the crowd
to participate in our silent auction and order the specialty cocktail created
for this evening, two of the event’s significant fundraising elements. Pat’s comedy is extremely creative and
hilarious. She knew how to work
our eclectic audience and was an integral part of making this event a huge
success. I highly recommend
her." - Elvi Vida, Hungarian
