Patti Harrison is considered one of the funniest people in today's context. Though her sarcastic humor is not everybody's cup of tea, she does have a considerable fan following who loves her dark humor.

She is also an actress and writer best known for her roles in comedy series like Shrill (2019-2021), I think you should leave with Tim Robinson (2019-present), and in the films such as Together Together, Big Mouth, and A Simple Favor.

The comedian/actress came out as a trans woman during her last year at Ohio University. She is very vocal about her journey as a trans and has inspired many to be proud of their identities despite what society considers "normal."

So, how old is Patti Harrison? Does she have a boyfriend? How much is her net worth? We have all the details here. 

Early Life- Age, Height, Ethnicity Parents

Patti Harrison was born in Orient, Ohio, the USA, on October 31, 1990, to a Vietnamese mother and white father.

She is 31-year-old and stands tall at 5 feet 8 inches (172cm).

Harrison was among seven children and was raised near the outskirts of Columbus.

Her parents met during the Vietnam War-father was a mechanic and worked for General Motors and her mother was a translator for a while and also worked in a mailroom. 

Sadly, her dad died when Harrison was six-years-old from a heart attack, and her brother also died when she was four.

In an interview in 2017, the comedian talked about how her mother kind of "checked out" following two tragic deaths. 

She was too small, and her sisters stepped in to raise her. As per Patti, they are her strongest supporter, harshest critics, and the reasons why she is what she is today.

Harrison, in fact, gives the credit for her love for dark humor to her sisters. 

They were the ones to use dark senses of humor to stay positive after losing two close family members.

"They all handled the situation with dark humor that I adored and really rubbed off on me. I feel very lucky to have been raised by a tribe of hilarious women who were also very kind! I think that's where I learned that you can make good, heavy, dark jokes without being mean or punching down."

One of the best examples of her dark humor is how she once shared a picture of her father and thanked God for his early death. 

According to her, he was so handsome that she would have dated him if he was alive. Remember when we said Harrison's comedy is not everybody's tea? Well, now you know why.

Patti Harrison's Experience As A Trans Woman-Terrifying And Emotionally Grueling

Coming out is never easy for anyone. We live in a society where everything has been categorized as normal or proper, and anytime a person tends to be out of the box, they are outcasted.

Everyone has their struggles and challenges, and in the case of Patti Harrison, it was her internal phobia. 

She came out to her family during her last year at Ohio University. The actress then dropped out of college and moved back home.

Luckily, her family was very supportive and encouraged her to follow her heart.

"I was fortunate that my family was very supportive—I know that a lot of trans people don't have that. It was the ultimate relief to see how supportive people were, and I was pleasantly surprised to see some people stay who I thought would leave. It gave me hope that people have the capacity to change!"

Patti, however, struggled with herself. The comedian, during an interview, revealed that she was terrified for two years after coming out. 

She would not even get out of bed and thought she would be eviscerated.

Thankfully, the 31-year-old took the help from therapy and began the new journey of her life. 

Harrison started working for Gap, Old Navy, and the Banana Republic, and in 2015 moved to Los Angeles to be a comedian.

Also, she was on a few FaceTime dates.

The comedian also revealed that she was on an app called Raya, and the experience was a nightmare.

"Raya's a nightmare. But if you want to find psychopath Vice bros where it's like, 'Yo, I'm an assistant digital editor at Vice, and I love Bjork, and I hate trans people, but I would love to take you on a coffee date and pick your brain about me stepping on you to get all your industry connection".

It seems like the 31-year-old is still on a hunt to find her perfect partner. 

There are, however, few sources who have claimed her to be married and have a husband, which is obviously hoax news.

"It took me a really long time to just get the ball rolling on [seeking a diagnosis] but i had reached a point where I was so frustrated with my inability to just stay on track."

Similarly, the Together Together star has also dealt with body dysmorphia.

I've thought about my relationship to my body, my body dysmorphia, and what that means as someone who's like, 'Oh, I'm going to be on camera.'

"She further said:

"Sometimes it makes my body dysmorphia worse, but I've also tried to not let my mental illness rob the joy of getting to do something I've always wanted to do."
