Brad Williams’ latest stand-up special, Starfish, has gone viral on YouTube with over 7.5 million views, cementing his place as one of the sharpest, most original comedic voices working today. Currently selling out theaters around the world, Brad delivers high-energy performances that blend personal storytelling, razor-sharp punchlines, and an irresistible charisma that leaves audiences on their feet.
He first took the mic as a teenager and never looked back, racking up major TV appearances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground, and building a run of hit specials, including Showtime’s Fun Size and Daddy Issues. He’s also appeared in 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 fellow comic Adam Ray, a fixture on the podcast charts throughout its five-year run. He’s also been a featured guest on some of comedy’s most influential platforms, 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 tours.
As an actor, Brad most recently has brought his comedic chops to TV series like Legit, Sam & Cat, Mind of Mencia, and Deadbeat, as well as 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 show, leading Mad Apple in Las Vegas to rave reviews. Brad will next appear in the highly anticipated film Spinal Tap 2, premiering 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 inspiring observations on disability, relationships, sex, and race, he continues to win over audiences worldwide and prove that no topic—and no audience—is out of his reach

Gary Cannon’s mom knew her son had comedic talent when, at the young age of five, Gary had a very bad cold. At the time, his mom was out of kleenex and offered her son toilet paper instead. Gary quickly replied, “I need to blow my nose not wipe my ass.” After getting the @#$% beaten out of him, and a timeout, his comedy career began.
Gary began making people laugh in San Francisco but soon moved to LA. After a short time in LA things started happening. He was soon working at all the Southern California Improv clubs, was a regular host at the Hollywood Improv, consistently emceeing shows with some of the biggest names in comedy.
His amazing crowd skills, high energy and ability to jump-start an audience enabled Gary to transition his skills to a television warm-up comic. Anyone visiting LA and seeing a show tape in front of an audience has probably met Gary. He sets the tone before and during the show creating a fun atmosphere and making audiences enjoy their time especially when many shows can often take hours to tape.
