Will I Hate Myself?: A Story About Going For It

Treuer, Pat: - Pat Treuer is a Denver-based stand-up comedian, producer, and recovering corporate escapee who left a six-figure sales job at age 36 to pursue a life that made him feel more alive-and significantly more broke.During the pandemic, Pat launched a million-dollar comedy business, only to reinvest every penny into a heartfelt YouTube series that made exactly zero cents. At 42, he found himself rebuilding not just his career, but his identity-again. That winding, often ridiculous journey inspired his debut memoir, Will I Hate Myself.With sharp wit and gut-punch honesty, Pat explores themes of reinvention, failure, and self-acceptance through the lens of comedy and personal chaos. He's the founder of Of the Comics, a production company that champions inclusive, community-driven stand-up shows, and he's been featured in Westword for his efforts to bring laughter to those who need it most.When he's not on stage or behind a production board, Pat is probably overthinking, under-sleeping, or rewriting the script of what success is supposed to look like.Follow him on Instagram and YouTube @realfunnypat and @ofthecomics.
