Oprah has said it emphatically. Katie Couric exclaimed it repeatedly, with fervor. We all know
it’s true: It’s all about the hair!
Pat Wynn Brown’s hilarious and poignant performances of the Hair Theater® episodes play to
sold out audiences. With episodes covering a wide variety of themes, Pat tells the stories her
life through the evolution of hairdos, hers and society’s. Somehow through the magic of big
hair and clever insights into our inner lives of hopes and dreams, she and the audience are
able to solve all of the world’s problems through laughter.
Pat has the hairdos and the stories to match any event theme, from entertainment to health
and wellness, from parenting to philanthropy.

Audience Testimonials
“She’s edible: her outlook, her books, her take on life, her everything.” -- Christopher Buckley (Humorist and author of Thank You For Smoking)
“…a wonderful performer with a unique gift of bringing people together through laughter and
joy.” -- Kerrii Anderson, CEO Wendy’s International
“She had our attendees at the edge of their seats then falling off with laughter.” -- Tim Bete, Director of the Erma Bombeck Humor Conference
"Pat Wynn Brown almost killed me. It's true. Her performance had me rolling on the floor...in
danger of being trampled by all the other 'rolling in the floor' audience members. [Her] wit and
wisdom, combined with her heart of gold, is the perfect entertainment for any and all Survivor
gatherings. Trust me...with Pat Wynn Brown...you can never go wrong." -- Komen Foundation
“Our audience truly enjoyed the true passion you shared with “Inside the Parenting Salon,” as
a mother, as a wife, and as a human being. Through the use of humor, you provided
everyone with an opportunity to not only look back at their own personal memories as a child
and what they did to their own parents, but also provided insight into the dynamics of family
relationships from past, present, and future. Ohio Dominican hopes to have you back!” -- Christie Wiener, Alumni Director, Ohio Dominican University
"Humor is not just an add on to life. It is a key element to our survival and coping skills. We
all need more laughter in our lives and I work to remind people of that every day. Pat Wynn
Brown of Hair Theater shares my view that humor heals and that we are not only entertained by
a good laugh, but, we are healthier and more productive as a result of it." --- Lucie
Arnaz
In Her Own Words
“I love what Erma Bombeck said about humor. She told an interviewer that she doesn’t write
humor, she writes the truth and that the truth is hysterically funny. I write and perform the
truth and the truth will not only set you free...it will also make you laugh so hard you’ll need to
up your kegel exercises schedule. If you want to get to the bottom of a woman’s life, ask her
about her hairdo history. Be prepared for not only laughter and tears, but revelations and
illuminations that will take your breath away.”
