Patent Pending Production Team

Nichole Ochoa is the Founder of Patent Pending Productions LLC and the Artistic  Director of Patent Pending Sketch Comedy. She started in the performing  arts at 3 years old as a classical ballet dancer. When High School came  around she started learning the technical world for stage performances.  Continuing her love of the creative arts she moved to New York at 18 and  studied Meisner Technique at The School for Film and Television. She  left the theater for other adventures and then made her return in 2016  with a local sketch comedy troupe. In 2022, she took the idea of Patent  Pending Comedy and ran with it pulling together the talent you see on  the stage here today.

C Austin Farris  is grateful to see another season of Patent Pending come to fruition.  Farris has been practicing comedy and artistic entrepreneurship in the  valley for twenty years as a founding member of Friday Night Live Sketch  Comedy, NFAH Improv, and Patent Pending Productions, with additional  experience as a contributing writer/performer/director to The  Cosmonauts. Farris believes strongly that Phoenix cradles a verdant  artistic potential to be cultivated. To this end, you can find him  hosting weekly virtual writers’ rooms open to the public on the Patent  Pending server. Farris would like to thank the cast, crew, and of  course… you! He sincerely hopes you find all of this silliness as  delightful to watch as it was to create.
