Jonathan Hoover is best known for his viral Patti LuPone alter ego @inappropriatepatti, an impression that started as a party trick and quickly led him to the most legendary cabaret stages in New York City. It inspired Ryan Murphy to write him into American Horror Story: NYC performing alongside the real life Patti LuPone.

​

In addition to his impressions, Jonathan is an accomplished stage actor. Starting as Michael Darling when he was 8 years old, for the past three decades his passion has lead him to national and international tours, Off-Broadway, regional theatres, and more workshops than he can count. Some career highlights include Daniel/Mrs. Doubtfire on the 1st National tour of Mrs Doubtfire the Musical, the international tour of A Chorus Line, Adriana in the gender-bent Off-Broadway revival of Boys from Syracuse, the title roles in Bat Boy and Joseph…, Billy Crocker in Anything Goes, Anthony in Sweeney Todd, Henrik in A Little Night Music, Brad Majors in Rocky Horror Show, and many more. He wrote and performed his first solo cabaret Second-Rate Somebody to sold out houses at 54 Below and the Art House in Provincetown. He has also appeared in star-studded concerts on the stages of Lincoln Center, Playwrights Horizons, Birdland, Joe’s Pub, Greenroom 42 and the Laurie Beechman. He also is a proud graduate of PCPA (the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts).

​

Along side his performing Jonathan directs, choreographs and coaches actors, as well as teaching master classes across the country. He is a proud parent of a perfect angel dog, and a gremlin cat. Feel free to stalk him on instagram @inappropriatepatti or for the real scoop @jdhooves84
