Patrick Albanese

Patrick Albanese (Buzz Maxwell) has spent most of his life standing on a stage somewhere. A native Chicagoan, he could be seen regularly on WGN's popular Bozo's Circus TV show. As a teen, he also performed in the local nightclub circuit, provided his algebra homework was completed and the garbage had been put out.

In Los Angeles, he was emcee at Hollywood’s prestigious Magic Castle, the most successful private entertainment club in the world. When he wasn't on stage there (he hosted over 9,000 performances in his tenure), he could be found either entertaining corporate clients or designing effects for their events. He's appeared in dozens of television commercials over the years, selling things like pagers (old communication method), VHS tapes (old entertainment medium), and antiques (old stuff).

Multiple cities and nearly 3,000 performances of Triple Espresso have given Patrick many wonderful experiences, but none better than meeting his future wife, Janet, in Des Moines, IA, during the show's initial run there. They now reside there with their two children, Elena (Ellie) and Evan (EJ).

Patrick can be heard filling in occasionally on WHO radio, and has officially impersonated a doctor in TV commercials about 8 times. He is also the spokesman for the DesMoines YMCA. You can contact him through his website, PatrickAlbanese.com.
