Patty Rosborough is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and television writer. From 1990 to 1993, she co-hosted Short Attention Span Theater with Jon Stewart. Her stand-up comedy has been televised on Comedy Central, A&E, Showtime, and VH1.[1] Her film credits include minor roles in Jacob's Ladder (1990) and Goodbye Baby (2007).[2]

Rosborough has appeared on the stand-up comedy television series The World Stands Up,[3] and headlined at Just for Laughs, an international comedy festival in Montreal. In 2000, she and Tammy Pescatelli won Ladies of Laughter, a stand-up comedy competition hosted in the Northeastern United States.[4][5]

In the early 2000s, she and Mark Cooper co-hosted The Coop and Patty Show, a morning radio program on WPDH in Poughkeepsie, New York. In 2001, a promotional arrangement for three of the show's sponsors required the hosts to visit a strip club in nearby New Windsor. There, Rosborough was blindfolded and subjected to a humiliating prank. She reports that when she arrived at the office the next morning, one of the producers wanted to post photos of the event on the station's website. After she discussed the matter with her co-host and complained to station officials, the station dismissed her. Rosborough filed a sexual harassment suit against WPDH's local licensee in 2002.[6]

Rosborough's former co-host, Mark Cooper, died of a stroke in August 2013.[7]
