Brad Williams, a renowned American stand-up comedian and actor born on January 13, 1984, has made a remarkable career despite being born with achondroplasia.
Williams' journey began when he attended a live comedy show by Carlos Mencia, where the comedian made jokes about dwarves. The people sitting near Williams were hesitant to laugh, which caught Mencia's attention. He noticed Williams and asked him to join him on stage, where Williams cracked a few jokes and impressed Mencia. This led Mencia to invite Williams to be his opening act on the road, a role Williams has held ever since, opening shows for both the Mind of Mencia tour and the Punisher Tour.
As a talented comedian, Williams has appeared on various TV shows, including Mind of Mencia, where he played diverse roles such as a dwarf whore, the leader of an all-dwarf basketball team, and a Renaissance faire attendee. He also delivered a notable speech about his disdain for podiums.
In 2008, Williams made memorable appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, dressing up as a leprechaun for St. Patrick's Day and Chucky from Child's Play for Halloween.
Recently, in 2022, Brad Williams was chosen as the lead comic for the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show Mad Apple, solidifying his position as a respected figure in the entertainment industry.
