"In this hilarious act filmed at Club Bene in New Jersey, stand-up comedian and actor Pat Cooper reflects on his childhood growing up in an Italian-American family, using much of this as the foundation for his sidesplitting routine. Peppered among his family stories are entertaining bits of true-life experiences as an up-and-coming touring comic, experience that gave him a broad outlook on the world, or at least, the world according to Cooper."


Pat Cooper (born July 31, 1929) is an American actor and comedian. Cooper is primarily known for his stand-up routines, where he often makes reference to his Italian heritage from Mola di Bari, Italy. He was also a frequent guest on many radio shows, most notably The Howard Stern Show in the 1980s and 1990's, and more recently, Imus in the Morning and Opie and Anthony.

Performing career

Pat's big break came in 1963 via TV's Jackie Gleason Show. From there on it was the big time, playing the top nightclubs such as the 500 Club, Latin Casino, Palumbo's, Atlantic City and Las Vegas Hotels, and Casinos. It meant appearing on the same show as Frank Sinatra, Martin and Lewis, Tony Bennett, Sergio Franchi, Sammy Davis Jr., Connie Francis, Bobby Darin, Tony Martin and many others.

On May 2, 1969, Cooper and singer Jimmy Roselli premiered in their two man show at Broadway's Palace Theatre, New York.

He was an occasional contributor to Colin Quinn’s late-night TV show on Comedy Central, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn.
