Ethan Simmons-Patterson

Part of HANCHER’S 2026–2027 SEASON and CLUB HANCHER

A hilarious UI alum returns to the town where he cut his comedic teeth.

Ethan Simmons-Patterson came to the University of Iowa to play football, but his time on campus was far from one faceted. Theatre arts, creative writing, and microbiology were all part of the mix. He headed to New York, pursuing nursing while also becoming a regular at the Comedy Cellar. His gift for getting the laugh brings him back for an unmissable set at Club Hancher.

PLEASE NOTE: This performance will contain adult content, language, and themes.
