November 07, (THEWILL) – Things are not really looking up for Nigerian standup comedian based in the United States, Patrick Onyeke, otherwise known as Mr Patrick, at the moment. The comedian’s American wife, Tammy Varner, has threatened to get him deported for marrying her for her papers and allegedly dumping her.
Sources close to THEWILL reveal that Mr Patrick cheats and lies arbitrarily to Tammy, whom he married a few years ago after he arrived in America. It was also alleged that after he had fulfilled the conditions required to become a bonafide US citizen and was conferred with citizenship, the comedian dumped Tammy and took off to Texas from New York to start a new life.
Although Mr Patrick once said in an interview that he didn’t marry his wife to obtain a green card, Tammy’s threats have now proved otherwise.
Mr Patrick came to limelight after his comedy skit, The Adventures of Mr Patrick went viral online. Over time, he built on his talents as a standup comedian, gaining fame and winning hearts. The humour merchant has also organised his own comedy show tagged Jokes Apart in Nigeria, South Africa, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, but to mention a few. His contemporaries are the likes of Basketmouth, Ayo Makun, I Go Dye etc.
