As David Puddy — better known as simply "Puddy" — on Seinfeld, Patrick Warburton uttered some of the iconic sitcom's most unforgettable lines, from "You stole my Jesus fish" to "Gotta support the team," to "Ask the 8-Ball!" Over 30 years later, the beloved actor is still making fans laugh — but now he's cracking jokes live onstage.
Warburton, 60, took to TikTok this week to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his first stand-up performance with a clip from the taping of his debut stand-up special, "Still Catholic," on June 7 at the El Portal Theater in Los Angeles.
"Thanks to everyone who came out last weekend to help celebrate my one-year anniversary," he wrote in his caption of the video montage, which showed the actor performing in a backwards baseball cap for an enthusiastic crowd (but didn't reveal any of his material just yet).
In an interview with The Wrap last month, Warburton opened up about his recent foray into stand-up comedy, calling the last year "one of the most amazing years" of his life.
'It's just been a wild ride this year," he said, adding, "I have been touring non-stop and I had never done this before. I wrote and I performed and it's been an incredible year. I've never known this kind of autonomy. I've always been told what to do and what to say, how to say a word, and that all changed.'
'There's a part of me that's like why did you wait 'til now?" Warburton continued.
"But there's another part that's like where are you going with this at the age of 60? But then there's another side of me that's just like, at this point, it doesn't matter because it's been one of the most amazing years. So much fun,' the comedian went on to say, joking that he's "really enjoyed throwing everybody under the bus" as part of his act.
"You know, my family, they're all up for it. They love it," he said, explaining that his routine revolves around "fun dumb things. There's great perspective stuff on societal things, there's a lot of family stuff. I feel like, to a degree, I'm relatable. I'm on stage for 70 minutes, I don't really talk about Seinfeld apart from references in regards to my family that might have something to do with that. But at the end of the day, it's standup.'Iconic '90s Sitcom Star, 60, Celebrates Major Milestone With Rare Appearance first appeared on Parade on Jun 13, 2025
