Brad Williams

Brad Williams’ latest stand-up special, Live On Short Street, is now streaming on YouTube, continuing his run as one of the most dynamic and in-demand comedians in the world. His previous special, Starfish, went viral with over 8.5 million views, cementing his place as one of the sharpest, most original comedic voices working today. Currently selling out theaters around the globe, Brad delivers high-energy performances that blend personal storytelling, razor-sharp punchlines, and an irresistible charisma that leaves audiences on their feet. He also co-hosts the fast-rising podcast Heightened Babble alongside fellow comic JB Ball, where the two break down outrageous news, life on the road, and the absurd realities of the comedy world.

He first took the mic as a teenager and never looked back, racking up major TV appearances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground, while building a run of hit specials including Showtime’s Fun Size and Daddy Issues. He has also appeared on Netflix’s The Degenerates and Comedy Central’s This Is Not Happening.

Beyond the stage, Brad co-created and co-hosted the long-running hit podcast About Last Night with Adam Ray, a fixture on the podcast charts throughout its five-year run. He’s also been featured on some of the most influential comedy platforms in the world, including The Joe Rogan Experience, Your Mom’s House, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Something’s Burning, Are You Garbage, and TigerBelly; introducing him to millions of listeners and further fueling his sold-out global tours. 

As an actor, Brad has showcased his comedic range on TV series such as Legit, Sam & Cat, Mind of Mencia, and Deadbeat, as well as in films including Little Evil, Christopher Guest’s Mascots, and Reno 911: It’s A Wonderful Heist. He also made history as the first stand-up comedian in Cirque du Soleil’s 30-year history to headline a production, leading Mad Apple in Las Vegas to rave reviews. He recently appeared in the highly anticipated film Spinal Tap 2, which premiered in September 2025.

Robin Williams once called him “Prozac with a head,” and it’s easy to see why—Brad doesn’t just tell jokes; he ignites a room. With fearless and deeply personal observations on disability, relationships, sex, and race, he continues to captivate audiences worldwide and prove that no topic—and no audience—is beyond his reach.
