patrice o’neal – The Comedy Bureau

It’s curious to think of how Patrice O’Neal and his comedy would be handled in 2019 if he were still alive. One might jump to a conclusion that the revered comedian who passed away in 2011 might be crucified. However, O’Neal might have ended up like his contemporary Bill Burr whose last special Paper Tiger was received fairly positively for Burr’s extensive self-examination after a very contrarian opening. There’s no way to truly tell, but O’Neal will be held up as a comedy legend for years to come even with much of his controversial material.

The prospect of a Patrice O’Neal documentary examining his life and legacy is fascinating and we can’t wait to see it.

Of the documentaries that focus on the life of a single comedian that could be made, one of Patrice O’Neal definitely needs to be made.

As the art form of comedy moves forward, truly unique, trailblazing voices become rarer and rarer. Patrice O’Neal was one such comedic voice that we unfortunately lost too early.

Now, such a documentary, Better Than You, is being made by his fiance Von Decarlo and veteran producer/director Mark Farrell. They’re looking to crowdfund it so they can do it exactly how they want to do it and honor Patrice properly.

So far, they’ve raised $54,889 on Indiegogo out of their $125,000 goal with one month to go.
