Summary

Brad Williams is back, and he’s bringing the heat with his brand-new comedy special Live On Short Street! He breaks down how he builds material, why stand-up will always be his bread and butter, and what happened when his comedy went viral during the pandemic! He shares wild road stories from late-night Waffle House runs, Mario Kart battles in the tour van, and the unexpected moments that turn into killer bits. He talks about getting protested over the “M” word, how those critics reacted after seeing his show, and why he refuses to be a one-note comic. Brad also dives into the inspiration behind Live On Short Street, shooting the special in Lexington, Kentucky, and what makes this one different from anything he’s done before. Plus, stories about opening acts, touring the world, playing Vegas, meeting fans after every show, and why comedy still hits harder live than anything else.
