Tonight at the Improv ft. Brad Williams, Ismo, Emily Wilson, Mark Smalls, Gary Cannon and more TBA

  • 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.”

  • Ismo

  • Mark Smalls

    Stand-up

    Mark Smalls is a Los Angeles based stand-up comedian. Born in New Jersey and raised in San Francisco, Mark brings an east coast flavor to a west coast vibe. His unique approach to attacking topics from both sides brings audiences of all ages and beliefs together. Mark is a member of Country Club Adjacent, a golf comedy podcast with over 350k subscribers across all platforms. You also can find him live streaming on Twitch, where he plays your favorite video games while screaming at the tv. Mark has worked with some of the best comics in the industry such as Bert Kreischer, Norm Macdonald, Bobby Lee, Andrew Schulz and Nikki Glaser.

  • Gary Cannon

    Stand-up

    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.
