Comedian
​COMEDIAN PETE BERGEN - DON’T BE AFRAID TO LAUGH
​
He may look and sound gruff but he’s a big bear of a sweetheart. You’ll love his take on his own sordid history and observations in general. He has performed with greats like Bobcat Goldthwait and at venues such as our local DC Improv Comedy Club.
​
With significant time in recovery, he is in demand for 12-step conventions nationwide. You may also recognize Pete from his numerous appearances on Investigation Discovery or from his episode on the classic America’s Most Wanted, where he always plays a cop—because, well, look at him.
