Vidiots is thrilled to welcome filmmaker Ro Haber along with comedy icons Julia Sweeney and Harper Steele for an extra special screening of the massively entertaining, endearing, and thought-provoking documentary We Are Pat!
We Are Pat explores the evolution of gender identity and comedy from the ‘90s to the present day through the lens of the iconic Saturday Night Live sketch, It’s Pat. The film examines Pat’s origins as a joke rooted in the cultural anxiety of the ‘90s around gender while drawing striking parallels to today’s culture wars around transness and queerness. Trans and non-binary comedians and culture-makers reimagine and rewrite the original Pat sketches, using camp and humor to reclaim and re-envision an iconic character in American comedy. The film explores humor as both a tool of oppression and a radical force for change. Beyond comedy, We Are Pat raises complex questions: How does art age? What responsibility does a creator have as cultural values evolve? Can we reclaim narratives that once mocked us, transforming pain into laughter, visibility, and ultimately, our own creations? With the laugh, cry, cheer trifecta, this magnificent documentary will give you all the feels!
