You can’t get more Texas than being born in Texas City, Texas, as was Edi Patterson. But alas, the brunette cutie left the Longhorn State for the City of Angels, where she became a member of the Groundlings Main Company, a troupe of improv and sketch-comedy performers. A truly funny girl, she’s also shared that comedic talent on TV as Verushka in Partners in 2014, Joan-Ruth Allen in the mini-series Clinical Trials (2015), as Laura in Black-ish in 2015, Ms. Abbott in HBO’s Vice Principals in 2016-2017, Elizabeth in The Last O.G. in 2018, and Judy Gemstone in HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones in 2019, where she pops her bra-covered boob out of her blouse to point out a very important thing. Those were all regular, recurring gigs, but Edi has also pulled laughs in one-stop roles in primetime sitcoms like Unhitched, Weeds, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Exes,The New Normal, 2 Broke Girls, Californication, Super Fun Night, and The League. Edi is no slouch on the big screen, either, appearing as an agent in A Thousand Words (2012) with Eddie Murphy and Kerry Washington; as Fran in Knives Out (2019) with Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, and a slew of other stars; in Zach Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns: The Movie (2019) as Shirl Clarts; Miss Aimee in Amazon’s original movie Troop Zero(2019); and in The Guilty (2021) with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ethan Hawke. As it says in her IMDb bio, written by “Your Mom,” “Edi likes fun and she also likes you.” Mr. Skin likes you, too, Edi!
