Brad Williams

Brad Williams is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He was born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, and the condition plays a large part in his stand-up. He went to Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, California, then left the University of Southern California to pursue acting and comedy. He got his start at 19 at a Carlos Mencia show, where Mencia invited him on stage. Mencia then asked him to try stand-up and open for him on the road.

His specials include Fun Size, Daddy Issues, Starfish and Live On Short Street. He has appeared on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Joe Rogan Experience and Netflix's The Degenerates. His site says he was the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque du Soleil production. In 2022 he became the lead comic of Mad Apple, the Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas. He and fellow stand-up JB Ball host the podcast Heightened Babble.

The Tall Tales Tour title is a pun on his height, and he has said it's also a nod to himself as a storyteller. Much of his material comes from his own life, and his sets leave out political humor. Williams is billed at an upcoming Los Angeles show, and the dates we list for him appear further down this page.
