Acting
Brad Williams
Brad Williams, born on January 13, 1984, is a celebrated American stand-up comedian and actor who has made a significant impact in the comedy world despite being born with achondroplasia. His journey into comedy began at a Carlos Mencia live performance, where he was humorously singled out by Mencia during a dwarf-themed joke. Rather than feeling embarrassed, Williams showcased his own comedic talent on stage, impressing Mencia, who invited him to open for him on tour. This partnership led to Williams becoming a regular opening act for Mencia on both the "Mind of Mencia" tour and the renowned "Punisher Tour."
Williams showcased his versatility on "Mind of Mencia," taking on various roles that highlighted his comedic flair, including a dwarf whore, the captain of a dwarf basketball team, and even a Renaissance faire participant. His appearances on major late-night shows further solidified his reputation; he made memorable guest spots on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," donning a leprechaun costume for St. Patrick’s Day, and on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" dressed as Chucky from "Child's Play" for Halloween.
In 2022, Williams achieved another milestone by being appointed the lead comic for the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show "Mad Apple," further establishing his presence in the entertainment industry. With a career marked by humor and resilience, Brad Williams continues to inspire audiences with his unique perspective and talent.
