INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Comedian Pat Burtscher is set to perform at the Helium Comedy Club in Indianapolis, bringing his unique comedic style to the stage.

Burtscher, who began his comedy career in Toronto, is known for his unorthodox approach to humor, often providing ‘silly solutions’ to everyday problems. His performances have gained popularity through social media platforms, where clips of his stand-up routines have attracted new audiences.

“Someone called me an unhinged genius,” Burtscher said, describing his comedic style. “I just like to look at stuff that bothers me and then provide silly solutions for it.”

Burtscher’s journey into comedy started when his brother signed him up for a competition in Toronto. Despite not winning, the experience ignited his passion for stand-up comedy. “I didn’t know what stand-up was,” Burtscher recalled. “I didn’t know what the rules were.”

The comedian credits social media for breathing new life into his career, allowing him to reach a broader audience. “It’s definitely breathed more life into my sails,” he said, noting how platforms like TikTok and Instagram have helped him connect with fans.

Burtscher draws inspiration from a variety of comedians, including Maria Bamford, Eddie Pepitone, and the late Norm Macdonald, whom he cites as a significant influence. “The number one rule in comedy is be funny,” Burtscher emphasized, echoing Macdonald’s philosophy.

Pat Burtscher’s performances at the Helium Comedy Club promise to deliver his signature blend of humor and insight, offering audiences a chance to experience his comedic genius firsthand. Tickets for the shows start at $22, providing an accessible opportunity for a night of laughter.
