A very special screening of WE ARE PAT is coming to Los Angeles in May!

On Saturday, May 23, the legendary Hollywood Improv in L.A. will host a screening of the film with a special Q&A with director Rowan Haber and Pat creator and actress Julia Sweeney. If you’re ready for a good laugh (aren’t we all?), buy your tickets here.
