About the Performer
Pound for pound, Brad Williams is one of the funniest comedians working today. He started doing stand-up comedy as a teenager and has been touring successfully ever since, routinely selling out prestigious venues all over the country and around the world.
Williams has made numerous stand-up television appearances, including The Tonight Show, Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His first one-hour special, Fun Size, was the highest-rated special on Showtime, followed by Daddy Issues and a groundbreaking Netflix special, The Degenerates.
Brad made history as the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque du Soleil show in their 30-year history, launching Mad Apple at the New York New York Theater in Las Vegas — a smash hit that ran for three months. The late Robin Williams famously called him “Prozac with a head.”
His humorous and inspiring observations on disability, relationships, sex, and race consistently win over audiences, proving that anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high-energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations.
