Pound for pound, Brad Williams is the funniest comedian in
the country right now and has become one of the most in-demand comedians
working today. Williams 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 world.
Williams has parlayed his live performances into a multitude
of 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, and a year
later, he followed that up with his second one, “Daddy Issues,” which was even
more successful than the first. His third special in three years was an
uproarious one, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the
prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. His last groundbreaking
special on Netflix, “The Degenerates,” garnered more huge ratings and rave
reviews.
Also an accomplished actor, Williams has appeared on
numerous TV shows and feature films, including FX’s “Legit,” “Sam and Cat,”
“Mind of Mencia,” “Pitboss,” a recurring role on the Hulu original show
“Deadbeat” and memorable roles in a plethora of movies, including “Little
Evil,” produced by Scott Stuber (“Ted”), as well as the Netflix original
Christopher Guest film, “Mascots,” and most recently “Reno 911: It’s A
Wonderful Heist.”
Recently, Brad became the first stand-up comedian to
headline a Cirque de Soleil show in their 30-year history, when he agreed to
launch—and do a three-month run of—their newest show “Mad Apple,” at the
magnificent 1200 seat New York New York Theater in Las Vegas. The show became
an immediate smash hit to rave revues, singling out Williams for his incredible
ability to captivate his audiences with his extraordinary performances.
In addition to stand-up and acting, Williams co-created and
co-hosted one of the most successful podcasts in the world, with friend and
fellow comic Adam Ray, entitled “About Last Night,” which was always a mainstay
on the iTunes charts during their five year run. Additionally, he is also a
regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several
national radio and podcast platforms, including “KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show”
and “The Adam Carolla Show.”
Williams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability,
relationships, sex, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone
can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently
produce standing ovations from audience members, which prompted the late Robin
Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.”
