Patrick Eley moved from Chicago to Stockton, California, in 2015 to chase MMA dreams with Nate Diaz’s team. In 2022, while still active on the team, he started doing stand-up. With a background that includes stints as a chiropractor, equities trader, copywriter, dog trainer, longshoreman, and martial artist, his comedy is dry, deadpan, and unhinged, often pivoting from grounded to wild without warning. He performs at clubs, theaters, and Don't Tell Comedy shows across the country, has opened for Annie Lederman, Sydney Stigerts, Shane Gillis, and Bruce Gray, and is a regular feature for James McCann on his U.S. tours.
