Barack Obama, Comedy, Politicians: Legendary Comedian Pat Cooper Holds Nothing Back – Entertainment News
Exclusive Interview (Conducted in 2011) by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
“Pat Cooper is a rarity in the business, best defined with the expression, ‘What you see is what you get!’ He’s the most honest man in the business; one of my favorite people! –an’ you can tell him I said so!”—Julius La Rosa
“No one is funnier once Pat gets going! He is hard to top. Al loved him as all Italians do. They adopted him as part of their family.”– Judi Martino (Widow of the legendary Italian Singer Al Martino)
Pasquale Caputo came into this world on July 31, 1929. Years later, as Pasquale plied his trade in comedy, he would transform into Pat Cooper, entertaining fans with his own brand of comedy that is more rapid than a 1920’s Thompson submachine gun. In the “Book of Berkwitt,” the music world had Frank Sinatra, the movie world has Al Pacino, the boxing world had Aaron Pryor and finally, the comedy world has Pat Cooper. Before the Ringside Report readers bombard me with emails saying are you crazy with these choices, I said in “The Book of Berkwitt.”
Pat refers to himself as a “Jazz Comedian” because of his comedic flow. I want to use another medium that I think is the ultimate compliment I can bestow upon him.
Hands down, Pasquale Caputo (AKA Pat Cooper) is the Sugar Ray Robinson of Comedy.
Cooper, by the way, is a huge boxing fan who really knows the sport. In 2008, he was the Grand Marshal for the Parade of Champions at the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF) in Canastota, New York.
In this exclusive interview, Pat runs the gamut and holds nothing back. …so enjoy this great talent as I have for many years.
