Most parents assume their kids aren’t paying attention.
Until one day they repeat something you said… copy a relationship dynamic you modeled… or make a life decision that sounds suspiciously familiar.
That’s exactly what happened to comedian Patricia Forehand.
After spending years telling her daughter the story of how she met her husband as a teenager, Patricia got a surprise announcement:
her 19-year-old daughter was getting married too.
What followed was a hilarious (and slightly panicked) conversation involving college tuition, young love, and the realization that our kids absorb far more than we think they do.
But this episode of Moms Unhinged goes deeper than one funny parenting moment.
Patricia also shares:
- What it was like teaching elementary school for 31 years
- Why surviving a classroom full of children prepared her for stand-up comedy
- How a life-changing diagnosis pushed her to stop waiting for “later”
- The unexpected path from empty nester to comedian in her 50s
- Why women over 50 are still absolutely “working it”
- And how 41 years of marriage became endless comedy material
Along the way, Patricia opens up about reinvention, motherhood, marriage, and the strange experience of realizing your children may have been watching your example more closely than you realized.
One of the Funniest Moments in the Episode
Patricia remembers her daughter announcing:
“Mom, Dad… Cody and I are getting married.”
Their immediate response?
“No, you are not.”
Until they looked up the cost of college tuition.
Then suddenly the conversation became:
“So… when do you wanna go to the Justice of the Peace?”
It’s one of those parenting moments that feels both horrifying and hilariously relatable.
Apparently, We Were the Example
At its core, this conversation taps into something almost every parent experiences:
the realization that our kids are learning from us all the time — even when we don’t realize they’re paying attention.
Sometimes that’s beautiful.
Sometimes it’s terrifying.
Usually it’s both.
And Patricia’s story is also a reminder that motherhood doesn’t mean your own story is over.
After retirement and a major health diagnosis, she chose to pursue something she had always wanted to try:
stand-up comedy.
That decision eventually led to appearances with The Washington Post, Tamron Hall, and Today.
Proof that sometimes the second act becomes the most interesting part of the story.

The Teen Marriage Announcement
Patricia Forehand: At 19 she came to us and she said, “Mom, Dad. Cody and I are getting married.” And we said, “No, you are not. We are sending you to college, and we are paying for it.” And then of course, we looked into how much college costs at the time, and we were like, “When do you wanna go to Justice of the Peace?”
Andrea Marie: We are Moms Unhinged, a nationally touring standup comedy show. Join us in our podcast as we explore everything from motherhood, midlife, crisis, marriage, divorce, online dating, menopause, and other things that irritate us.
Becoming a Comedian After 31 Years of Teaching
Andrea Marie: Hello everyone, and welcome to Moms Unhinged, the podcast. I’m your host, Andrea Marie. I am joined today by the wonderful Patricia Forehand, who is an Atlanta-based comedian, and is just has started comedy in her 50s, after being a teacher for your… was it teacher for your whole life, or? Yeah. Yeah, 31 years.
Patricia Forehand: Yes. Yes, 31 years.
Andrea Marie: Wow, that’s incredible. You probably get a lot of good comedy from that, I would guess.
Patricia Forehand: I do. I do. In fact, I do comedy for schools and school systems, you know, to talk about education, the funny side of it. So, yes, I do. And I bring it on stage at clubs and things sometimes, you know, especially the things about kids.
Andrea Marie: Yeah. I know. Yeah, so you have a lot of kid material. And you’re a mom.
Patricia Forehand: Yes, I am.
Andrea Marie: Yes. And how many children do you have?
Patricia Forehand: I have two, and they’re both grown-ups. You know, I’m 64, so yeah, I have a son who lives in North Carolina and a daughter who lives in El Paso, Texas, and a granddaughter. I’m a grandma.
Andrea Marie: Oh, that’s awesome. That’s so fun. That’s so fun. That’s great. Well, what prompted you to get started with comedy? You’re just doing your teaching. What, like, got you into it?
The Diagnosis That Changed Everything
Patricia Forehand: Before I left teaching, I was diagnosed with an AVM, which is, you know, it’s a malformation in the brain and, it can cause things to happen if it bleeds or bursts, you know, things like that. It’s inoperable ’cause of where it’s located. So anyway, I thought, “You know, how am I gonna spend the rest of my life?”
It kind of gave me permission to do something wild that I always wanted to do, you know, ’cause as a child, I always wanted to do comedy. I mean, I was fans of Lucille Ball, and Gilda Radner was my favorite. Carol Burnett, I think. You know, people like that. Phyllis Diller. Yeah, I just I enjoy comedy.
I remember in the classroom, I would always tell the kids, you know, “Live your passion. Do what you wanna do. You know, work hard to achieve it, but do what you wanna do. You can do whatever you wanna do.” And here I was not living that dream, so I decided, “Hey, you know,” after I retired, I was an empty nester.
My husband was still working and still is. So, you know, I wanted to go and do something fun and decided to sign up for an open mic and loved it. It was just an amazing experience at Laughing Skull, and you know, I just decided this is what I wanna do, you know, with this part of my life. So went back and took a ton of classes, you know, Lace Larrabee, Marshall Chiles, did a lot of open mics, and then just started getting booked.
Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s awesome. So you did an open mic without having any class? You just, like, wrote your set, wrote your jokes, and went up and did it?
Patricia Forehand: I did, I did. You know, I kind of Googled everything I could about, you know, comedy and sets and things like that. And I wrote jokes and got on the stage, and the thing is, I did some of the jokes that I had, but I really kind of riffed off the girl that was before me because, she was very young and she was talking about a lot of dirty stuff.
And so, you know, I just went up there and made some jokes about, “Oh my gosh,” you know, “Is that what my daughter’s doing?” You know? So a lot of it was spur of the moment, but then I also brought my jokes in. They kind of tied in really well together and it worked. And luckily, you know, half the audience, they were my friends that I brought.
Andrea Marie: Oh, man. That’s really brave to bring all your friends the very first time you do comedy. That’s scary. That’s awesome.
Patricia Forehand: It was funny ’cause I had like a lot of the, you know, guy friends and stuff were like, “Here, let me tell you a joke you can use.” And I’m like, “No, I got my jokes.”
Andrea Marie: I know. It’s funny when people, “Why don’t you get up and tell that joke, all right? I’m not using that.” Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: know, sign up for the open mic yourself. But they were real supportive. But what made me feel good is that the host after the show came up to me and said, “You know, that was great. You need to do this.” And I was gonna do it as a one-offer, you know, just one time and done with it.
But it was such a positive experience and so much fun that, you know, I just couldn’t get enough of it.
Andrea Marie: Yeah, definitely it does hook you, like, pretty quickly if you, you know, if you have a good time, you get definitely hooked ’cause it’s pretty fun. So yeah, that’s awesome. And so interesting that it was kind of a health challenge, that sparked.
Patricia Forehand: Yeah.
Why She Stopped Waiting for “Later”
Andrea Marie: That you know, that desire to go and do something riskier or in, just a little scarier or something like that.
So, you know, that’s a kind of blessing of that health challenge.
Patricia Forehand: It is. I mean, when you find out something like that, because, you know, an AVM, you could have that and never have any issues with it. Or, you know, it could burst and you could die. So when he told me the diagnosis, it really does make you think. You’re facing your mortality and you’re realizing, you know, you don’t have an ending time.
And so if there’s something that you want to do, you better get it done while you can. And I mean, it gives you permission almost. It’s almost like somebody’s saying, “Okay, now what, what did you always wanna do? Go do it now. Now’s the time.”
Right, and it’s interesting because that’s the case for anyone. I mean, I have a joke, like, we could get hit by a bus tomorrow or whatever, you know?
Oh.
Andrea Marie: I mean, but we don’t… it’s not always quite as present or in the forefront for us.
Or it’s not, doesn’t feel as urgent. And so it’s nice to have a little urgency around it and, you know, it helps to say, “Wow, I may not have as much time left as I think.”
And that’s true for everybody, really.
Patricia Forehand: Yes, I mean, I agree with you. I think everyone should, you know, go out and do what they wanna do. ‘Cause for anyone, like you said, you don’t know what’s happening tomorrow. And you don’t have to have a diagnosis to go out and do things that you really wanna do.
I mean, we’re here on this earth for such a short time. Even if you live to 100, it’s a short time.
Andrea Marie: It is so short.
Patricia Forehand: Yeah. And we always put off. We’ll go, “Oh, we’re gonna do this first, and later we’ll get to that. Later I’ll do what I always wanted to do.” And you may not have later, so yeah.
Andrea Marie: Exactly. Yeah, I think everyone should even try, like if you have had this inkling to try comedy, you know, I meet a lot of people who say that. They’re like, “Oh, I’ve always wanted to try comedy,” and, you know, it’s easy to try. There’s, I mean, it’s easy and hard.
You know? There’s lots of open mic opportunities where you can get up and, you know, and do something just even for a short time. I remember, but I do remember the first time I did comedy. My brain blanked out. I couldn’t think of a single thing. I was like, “I don’t think I’m funny at all. I don’t know anything.”
Patricia Forehand: Yeah. Well, I think the reason that I was able to do it is because I was very much into theater.
Andrea Marie: Oh, yeah.
Patricia Forehand: And so I was on the stage a lot, doing plays, and so I was used to the audience thing.
Teaching Kids Prepared Her for Stand-Up
Andrea Marie: Yeah. Well, and I think, I imagine teaching also, you’re used to getting up and talking in front of people and things like that, so yeah.
Patricia Forehand: You have a really hard audience when you teach.
Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s the biggest… you’re up there bombing all day long, you know?
Patricia Forehand: That is so true, yeah.
Andrea Marie: Don’t have to worry about it. And you also, kind of a fun thing is you were featured in a Washington Post article.
Patricia Forehand: I was.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Becoming the “Old Lady Comic”
Patricia Forehand: That was really due to Lace Larrabee because I was taking her class at the time, and The Washington Post was writing an article again on people doing something completely different in what they called their second act. So they asked Lace if she knew an old lady. That was funny.
Andrea Marie: An old lady at 50, you know, whatever.
Patricia Forehand: Yeah, I was 55.
Andrea Marie: Oh, God. I know, right.
Patricia Forehand: So yeah. She gave them my name, and they interviewed me and did a feature. That was so exciting. It was wonderful. But, been kinda like lucky in that way because then, like Tamron Hall Show saw that article, and I was able to get on Tamron Hall, and then Today Show saw that article, and I was able to get on the Today Show.
Women Over 50 Are Still Working It
Patricia Forehand: You know, and it’s all because, it’s people are my age are, you know, no longer just sitting in the house and, watching TV or whatever. They’re out. They’re doing exciting things. And so the incredible part is the people that I have met in all of these adventures, I call ’em, you know, they’re all, you know, just exciting people that have.
I mean, I met this one wonderful lady who went back, and now she’s an author and she’s written like 13 thrillers, you know? And she is McGarvey Black. She is amazing. And she, like, called me on the phone and I’m like, “I’m being called by this lady writes…” But she is amazing. And it’s just, it’s incredible to think that, you know, no longer are women our age invisible.
We are out there and we are leading, and we are, you know, in the front lines doing stuff. We’re not dead yet. We’re still working it. So I mean, yeah, it’s exciting.
Right. Yeah, and it is so important to realize we have a short time on this earth, but we still can have a long time to do something. I mean, you know, you can have, like, 30… you start something midlife, you could have 30 years of doing that successfully. And, you know, you can do comedy into your 80s.
Andrea Marie: I knew one woman who was 90 doing it. You know? Like, it’s just wild. Yeah, so just always, it’s always important to be like, “Let’s just get started. Just do it. Just take the first step.” So that’s great. That’s great. And then also, go ahead.
Patricia Forehand: I was just gonna say that Shawshank Redemption movie that my husband makes me watch like 30 times a year. You know, where he says, “Get busy living or get busy dying.” I mean, I honestly take that to heart.
Andrea Marie: Yeah. Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: That 30 minutes that you’re sitting there watching a TV show, you could be writing two chapters to a novel, or you could be, you know, running a marathon, at least part of it.
Or, you know what I’m saying? You can fill it up with the stuff you wanna do.
Andrea Marie: Right. Exactly, exactly. So it’s such a good lesson. And then kind of a fun thing is you’re getting featured on a documentary too, so that’s amazing.
Patricia Forehand: Yes. That’s another… this wonderful man, Carl Landau. He has a podcast, Pickleball, and he has Pickleball Media. But his podcast is not, it’s not just about pickleball. He also wrote a book about that, Pickleball For Idiots, with his wonderful wife. But it’s really about this whole thing we’re talking about.
Like, you know, when you reach that midlife, you’re not done. Go back and do stuff. And so he also interviews, you know, people that are over 50 and have done all these incredible things with their life, you know, after 50. It’s like some of them, you know, the first part of their life might have been slow or whatever, and then boom, it’s like they’re living the life the second part.
Andrea Marie: Yeah. Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: Incredible. Yeah. And so he has interviewed so many people that have these fantastic life stories. And one of the people that he had on his podcast was actually a filmmaker, and she makes these incredible documentaries. So she kind of helped him to filming a documentary about the people that he’s met on his podcast and, you know, the interesting lives.
And he’s filming three of us. You know, he had to film three of us that actually do something that, you know, you can film. And so because I do stand up, you know.
Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s a good one.
Patricia Forehand: Like all these serious people that are going back and saving lives.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: Right. then it’s like, ” hey, let’s go to this lady.”
Andrea Marie: Yeah,
Patricia Forehand: that She tells jokes about, you know, her husband.”
But yeah, it’s incredible. I mean, I already went to California, and they filmed the interview, but now they’re gonna film a set that I’m doing in Nashville, so that’ll be fun.
What Her Family Thinks About the Comedy Career
Andrea Marie: Oh, that’s great. That’s so great, so great. What does your family and your kids think about you doing comedy?
Patricia Forehand: Oh my goodness, they love it. My son used to live in Atlanta. So when I first started, it was so much fun because I would go and stay… I don’t live in Atlanta. I live two hours south of Atlanta. So I do a lot of comedy in Atlanta, and I consider it my base for comedy. I used to be able to go there and do a show and then spend the night with him, and it was so much fun.
And he went to so many of my shows. And then he moved to North Carolina, so he hasn’t been able to attend any of the shows lately. But my daughter, she should be a comedian. She is hilarious. Everything she says that comes out of that mouth is funny. And so she has really been a help in the journey because she will show me comedians, go, “Mom, you gotta listen to this one. You gotta listen to that.”
I mean, she knew Lace Larrabee before I did. She was like, “Hey, there’s this, there’s this woman. You’re gonna love her. She is so hilarious. You’ve got to listen to her on YouTube. Da, da, da.” And then I found out she was teaching a class and I was like, “That’s my daughter’s favorite comedian.”
Andrea Marie: That’s awesome.
Patricia Forehand: So they’ve been very supportive.
Andrea Marie: Oh, that’s great. That’s great. Do you make jokes about your husband?
41 Years of Marriage = Comedy Material
Patricia Forehand: Oh, a lot of jokes about my husband, honey. It’s like, we’ve been married for 41 years, you know, but we started dating when I was 16, so I have a lot of material.
Andrea Marie: But he doesn’t mind. He doesn’t mind that you share?
Patricia Forehand: No, he doesn’t mind. I remember when, you know, ’cause I never say anything mean, you know? But marriage is funny. We gotta, marriage hilarious, especially when you have been together with someone for so long, you know? but he doesn’t mind. But I do remember, like, he went to all my first shows, and I remember it was, like, maybe the second show that I did, and I did this joke about him.
I never tell him the jokes, you know.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: Unless I’m on stage. So I did this joke about him, and he was sitting on the front row, and he just laughed. And I remember that startled me so much that I froze for a minute, and I almost forgot my, the rest of my show. I was like, “Oh my gosh.” I almost forgot the rest of the set.
But yeah, he’d come. But you know, he works now, and so I don’t drag him to everything. If it’s an important show, you know, if it’s something special, he’ll go. But the man gets up at 5:00 in the morning.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: he’s a homebody too, so you know, he doesn’t really like to go to clubs and stuff, so.
But he will. He’s there when I need him. But you know, the fact is, some, a lot of times I’d rather him kind of stay home, you know? It just makes it easier.
Yeah. Oh, that’s fun. That’s so fun. One thing I always like to ask everyone is for, like, an unhinged moment, unhinged story with either your own kids or your mom. So share with us something that didn’t go quite right.
Okay, I will tell you, as I mentioned before, that I have been with my husband since I was 16. And we’ve always told my daughter how we met and all this stuff and, you know, she really apparently was watching us. Who knew that we are role models to our kids? You know, much less that they listen to our stories.
But anyway, at 19 she came to us and she said, “Mom, Dad, Cody and I are getting married.” And we said, “No, you are not. We are sending you to college, and we are paying for it.” And then of course, we looked into how much college costs at the time, and we were like, “When do you wanna go to Justice of the Peace?” No.
But they have been married happily ever, and she did get her college too. She got married and did college.
Andrea Marie: Oh, did college, so good. That is a scary moment that like, you know, I think about that too. I’m like, “Oh, don’t…” You know, I don’t know. And they feel so young, and it’s funny, like when we were young, we felt like we knew everything.
Patricia Forehand: Well, the truth of the matter, joking aside, is that if we had not. We did talk her into going to a semester of college, and she just kind of threw it away. She’s so in love with this guy, and he was going in the army. Anyway, if we had said Mm. no, you can’t say no, they’re adults, you know, they were gonna go anyway.
So might as well jump on board and just be ready to catch them if something happens. And luckily, you know, it didn’t. They were actually pretty happy and still are, and have that beautiful child that’s my granddaughter and, you know, so it worked out. But I would not recommend it for everybody. I mean, it’s like one in a million that it works out, you know?
Andrea Marie: I know. It is wild. It is wild when people know, and I got… I’m divorced and I do think, I’m like, “Gosh, how do people know?” Like, you know, well even like yourself, 40 years, that’s a long time, and that’s so wonderful that you are together that long. My joke is that I think it should be a lease to own program.
You know, we don’t, we just should decide if you’re gonna renew, you know? I just didn’t renew.
Patricia Forehand: Honestly, You go through periods when it’s long where you don’t like ’em anymore. You’re like… But then if you stick it out, you go, “Oh, wow,” you know, there’s that, “Okay. All right. Now I remember why I married him.” You know? So it’s hard. We kinda knew it when we met. I don’t know why. It wasn’t.
I know it sounds corny, but it was kinda instant. Like, you know, I dated a little bit, but I was 16, so I was really naive and stupid, but yet when I met him, I was like, “I really like him.” I mean, we just were like best friends, you know? And we just shared a lot of the same thoughts and stuff and… But yet we were opposites too in a lot of things, which made it fun, so it just worked out.
From Naughty Comedy to Family-Friendly Sets
Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s so great. That’s so great. How has your comedy evolved over the years since you started? Like, how has that changed?
Patricia Forehand: Well, to begin with, I was real naughty. I mean, you know, I did a lot of naughty comedy. In fact, when I went on Tamron Hall and I had to provide them with a set to use, a piece of, you know, for their show, it was hard for them to find one that was for daily watching.
Andrea Marie: Oh, right. Right.
Patricia Forehand: I mean, I’m not.
Andrea Marie: What time of the day?
Patricia Forehand: Yeah, it was a day show, so you know, it’s a talk show during the day.
You have to have the good… But they did find some. I think at the time, you know, when I started comedy, you know, I was an nester and I was, like the preacher’s kid that grows up and gets wild. That’s how I was with comedy. But my wild thing was the comedy, you know, ’cause I had been so good for so many years and trying to be a role model for kids and so I think I cut loose is what I did.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Right.
Patricia Forehand: So my comedy has evolved bit has, it has I have so much clean comedy now and fun family comedy and things like that. Yeah, I’ve been rounding it out so that I have a little bit of everything. I mean, I think that’s how… I think I’m more of a storyteller too now than I used to be.
Andrea Marie: I think the interesting thing is too, is that I grew up with a kind of religious background and, you know, pretty straight-laced, whatever. And then I started going to open mics and I’m like, ” Oh man, I need to Google some of this. What is this?”
You know? It’s very dirty at some of these open mics. And I kinda thought… You know, and then I get up there with my pretty, you know, clean set and in front of these 20-year-old dudes, and I’m like, “Well, hmm,” you know? Like, but I do think that it’s nice to be able to do a range of comedy because there’s different types that appeal to different people, and some people really like the pushing those edges and the boundaries and getting a little crazy.
We, at Moms Unhinged we talk about doing clean-ish comedy where we, you know, there’s some sexual content, but we’ve gotten feedback sometimes that they’re like, “Oh, that set was so dirty.” And I was like, “Were you watching the same comedy I was?” Maybe we said something about sex, but you know, it’s just funny how people have different tolerances so it’s nice to be able to do a range.
Patricia Forehand: That’s true. I think it, it’s so important to have, you know, so much material that when you’re reading that audience, that you are able to switch it up if you need to. I mean, you have to, you have to see what’s landing and what kind of audience you have.
And I think the best arsenal, I guess that’s the correct word, arsenal, that we could have in our pocket is, you know, enough of a range of jokes that you can bring things in, whatever’s necessary.
Andrea Marie: Right. For sure, for sure. And how has taking classes helped you? Do you still take classes from time to time, or was that more in the beginning?
Patricia Forehand: Not really as much because I feel like, you know, actually doing shows and being on stage is the biggest learning tool now.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: They were definitely necessary at the beginning because I think it just, you know, for everything, even the technical parts of it, the skill parts of it, you know, how to tell a joke, how to set it up.
I think it’s important. And two, it gave me the confidence because both Marshall Childs and Lace Larrabee were amazing at the type of critique that they did and encouraging, you know, all of their students to get out there on the stage and not to be afraid. And it was okay for us to say things and it not be funny, you know?
It was all right. That’s a part of it, and I think that’s what all comics need to know is that, you know, bombing is a part of it. That’s where you learn the most. You go, “Oh, okay, what did I do, and how can I make that better?” So I think they were vital to me anyway, to let me know that I was doing what I was supposed to be doing, funny.
Andrea Marie: Yeah, for sure. It definitely is super helpful, and it just forces you to… and it is nice. You need that feedback, and it’s nice to have that confidence too, ’cause it’s a scary thing. Like, you know, you just getting up there and worrying that you don’t have any good jokes. But you know that you’ve got, you know, some things that have, you’ve gotten a little help with or whatever at that time.
So it’s good. Good for sure.
Patricia Forehand: Most of the comics that I know, did take classes of some sort, at least one.
Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah.
I took three, you know. I took two with Lace and then one with Marshall. Marshall Childs was the first one, and Ian Aber, I always say his names wrong. But you know, he helped Marshall Childs in his class.
Patricia Forehand: He was kinda like, I guess, the teacher assistant. And so they were all just wonderful. I think awesome. they gave me confidence. And it was nice, you know, ’cause it was like I was so quiet and, you know, so reserved and my sister would always say, “Patty, you know, loosen up and I don’t know.
When you’re a teacher, you know, everything you do is scrutinized. So even off hours, you know, even after hours I remember one time I saw one of my teachers at a strip club when I was like 19, and I was like, “What is that? She’s a teacher! What is she…” Back then when you were 19, you could go to a bar. And I went to a bar and, you know, something.
Andrea Marie: Was she performing or was she?
Patricia Forehand: No, it was a male revue. And my friend talked me into, “Come on, let’s go.” So we were, here we are 19-year-olds and it was my teacher, and I was like… I mean, I couldn’t even, you know, which I don’t care. I didn’t really wanna concentrate on the show anyway. But I mean, I couldn’t have because I was too busy thinking, ” Ooh!”
So I, that’s kind of how I felt about being an educator, you know, that you have to be pristine. So my sister used to say, “That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. You can have a drink after hours and things like that.” And I was like, “no.”
Andrea Marie: Have you seen any of your students at your shows?
Patricia Forehand: Oh my gosh.
Yes, I have.
It is hilarious. I had one who came up to me after a show, and I didn’t know they were my student ’cause, you know, like all my students are adults now.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: And, he was hilarious. He said, “That… Oh, Miss Forehand. Oh, Miss Forehand.” It was so funny. So yeah. But I’ve had quite a few reach out to me, you know, on Instagram or things like that and, you know, they see my YouTube or whatever, that kind of thing.
Andrea Marie: That’s fun.
Patricia Forehand: But they’re all supportive. They’re like, “Yeah, that…” ‘Cause, you know, in the classroom I was funny anyway because I tried to make education fun, you know? You don’t wanna… You have to sit somewhere for eight hours, you want it to be enjoyable. So I was silly. You know, we’d break out in songs and do silly things anyway, so I don’t think it…
And I was a drama coach there, so we did drama plays. So I don’t think it was too far a stretch for them to think that one day I would do something on a stage for fun, you know?
Andrea Marie: Yeah. Oh, that’s so great. Well, Patricia, this has been so fun. Thank you so much for coming on the podcast. I appreciate it. And why don’t you let people know where they can find you? We’ll have these links in the show notes.
Patricia Forehand: Okay. I am on TikTok and Instagram and Facebook and it’s either Patricia Forehand or Forehand Patricia, and then on TikTok I think it’s PForehandComedy. So you can find me at all those places. I do a little bit on YouTube too. I don’t have a show or anything, but I post partial sets or whatever, mainly so I can send them to festivals.
Andrea Marie: Yeah.
Patricia Forehand: So, but Yeah, and I did have a podcast called Badass Boomer Babe, and I think it’s still out there, but I haven’t done it in quite a while, so but yeah, that’s where you can find me,
