Patton Oswalt (born January 27, 1969, in
Portsmouth, Virginia, USA) is a comedian, actor
and writer who first began headlining comedy clubs
in 1996. After starring in his own comedy special
for HBO in 1997 he went on to garner notable roles
in films and television shows including Paul
Thomas Anderson's Magnolia (movie)|Magnolia and
The King of Queens on CBS.

Oswalt's style of stand-up comedy is often
described as acerbic, sarcastic and covers a great
deal of subject matter. Topics range from pop
culture frivolity such as comic book supervillains
and 1980s hair metal to deeper societal issues
like American excess, rampant materialism and
foreign policy. Critics have recognized Oswalt for
employing keen wit, biting insight and unabashed
love of the absurd.

In 2004 Oswalt released a comedy album entitled
Feelin' Kinda Patton and later that year a longer,
unedited version of the same recording called 222.

It is rumored he writes for the movie site Ain't
it Cool under the name "Neil Cumpston"
