Patti Harrison: I Think You Should Leave ‘Driver’s Ed’ Sketch

Harrison rose to fame off the back of an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon in 2017, and has gone on to appear in shows like I Think You Should Leave, High Maintenance, Shrill, and She-Hulk. She also starred opposite Ed Helms in 2021 film Together Together and featured in 2022’s The Lost City.

“This movie specifically felt really special because it was something that I never really thought I was going to get to do,” said Harrison about the role in Together Together, in which she plays a cisgender pregnant woman (Harrison is trans).

“And when I say that, I just didn’t think I’d be playing a pregnant woman in a movie that is earnest. And I want there to be more opportunities for marginalised people who are in the creative industries. Because I do think representation is really important.”
