By the age of six, George Wallace knew he wanted to be a comedian. He always enjoyed making people laugh, but he also knew the importance of an education. He attended the University of Akron, Ohio and upon graduating with degrees in Transportation, Marketing/Advertising, plus advance studies in Radio and Television from Columbia School of Broadcasting. Literally, a rags-to-riches story, Wallace went from selling rags to VP of Advertising. Still, his dream of being a comedian had a strong hold on him. Within a week of leaving the advertising field, he began to perform stand-up comedy and was offered a job writing for “The Redd Foxx Show.” Wallace is currently pursuing dual coursework at University of Phoenix and DeVry. With his writing and stand-up experience, Wallace began landing television appearances. Wallace was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2013 Soul Train/Centric Comedy All-Star Awards; and won Best Stand Up Comedian at the prestigious American Comedy Awards after four consecutive nominations. As a veteran radio personality, he has also made appearances on “The Steve Harvey Morning Show” and is a charter member of “The Tom Joyner Morning Show.” In 2004 Wallace appeared as the headlining star of his own show at The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas for a 30 day run. Sin City showed its admiration by extending Wallace’s contract indefinitely and nicknaming him “The New Mr. Vegas.” Unlike any other comedy show in Las Vegas, Wallace gave away a number of prizes every night including CDs, DVDs, diamond necklaces, dinner at prestigious restaurants, gourmet chocolates, tropical cruises and even a new car. He celebrated his 10th Anniversary headlining at the Flamingo in March 2014, announced he was closing the show to head back out on the road. Wallace regularly performs in comedy clubs across the country and is an ambassador for the United States government, performing at military bases all over the world. His first book, LAFF IT OFF (Chaite Press) was published in 2014. A tome of life wisdom, humor and insight from a lifetime of observation, the book is in its third printing. www.georgewallace.net Wallace’s most recognized material is his “I Be Thinkin’” lines and jokes about everything from conversational thoughts to political aspirations. Each show he engages members of the audience in comical banter. If provoked, he might even throw out a few of his signature “Yo Mama” jokes. He shows his gratitude to the audience by signing autographs and taking photos after every show. Audience members never know what will happen at the George Wallace show. Wallace is an evolving comedian, which is why his show is different every night. He’s always thinkin’. Fans can now get a taste of what Wallace be thinkin’ on Twitter @MrGeorgeWallace

Stand-up
Brad Williams
Brad Williams
Stand-up
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.”
