Here's the tea. Ms. Pat has a new show on BET+!

And all 10 episodes will be able to stream at once!

WHO is Ms. Pat? Are you REALLY asking that?!

Author of the memoir Rabbit? Nominated for an NAACP award? Host of The Patdown Podcast???

OK, so for those who don't know, Ms. Pat is a hilarious comedian who...hasn't lived the typical comedian life.

If you grew up on the streets of Atlanta, you might know her as "Rabbit."

So...she grew up in Atlanta at a "bootleg" house of drunks run by her grandfather and became a drug dealer by her teens.

 “I figured there were two things I could do in my neighborhood to earn money: either sell drugs or sell p*@#$y.” —Ms. Pat

She also had her first child at 14 and her second child at 15.

And then at 19, with 2 toddlers and a new husband, she was handed 4 more young children from her sister who was struggling with drug addiction. The next 10 years of her life were spent raising those 6 children. 

After getting shot twice and arrested multiple times, she decided to get out of "the Life." With her caseworker's encouragement, she decided to take to the stage and tell her story through stand-up comedy.

From the moment she stepped onstage, she knew she had found her place. With a comedy career spilling over 13 years, this powerful woman brings an honest, in-your-face, and hilarious perspective to her shows. Talk about a glow-up!

Flash forward to now: This former convicted felon turned mom moved to suburban Indiana! And that's where the show begins...

From the streets of Atlanta ✈️ conservative Middle America. Look out, Karens!

Alongside her is her penny-pinching husband...

It's because of his job that the family is moving away from their home.

...her struggle of a sister...

Sis is now sober and slaying.

...and two distinct sets of kids raised under very different circumstances.

The kids are not alright.

So yeah, you could say things get a little dicey given present-day cultural tension.

But at the end of the day, The Ms. Pat Show is about a loving family...

...that also happens to funny AF.
