Number One is the debut comedy special from raconteur comedian Sean Patton.
Filmed at the historic music venue Tipitina’s in his hometown of New Orleans, LA, this hearty special is a deep dive into the personal experiences that made him who he is today.
He explores everything from his obsessive compulsive disorder to his madhouse of an upbringing and the broken yet unbreakable bonds of his family.
Patton weaves together a heart-wrenching and hilarious tapestry of his ridiculous yet human psyche. He reveals the beauty of human flaws – specifically his own – and why you can and should laugh at yours, too.
