Brad Williams (born 1984 in Orange, California) is an American stand-up comedian and actor who has been performing since 2003. Born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, he turns his own experience into sharp, self-aware comedy that never tips into self-pity. In 2022 he made history as the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque du Soleil production (Mad Apple in Las Vegas), and in April 2026 he released his fourth special, Live On Short Street, streaming free on YouTube.
Williams released his fourth stand-up special Live On Short Street, recorded for a sold-out audience in Lexington, Kentucky, and available for free on YouTube.
Williams is touring the US with The Tall Tales Tour, with shows in cities such as Philadelphia, New York, Burlington and Asheville.
Williams appeared in the long-awaited film production Spinal Tap 2, which premiered in September 2025.
Williams brought his Growth Spurt Tour to theaters in the US, including a performance in Huntsville, Alabama.
Williams co-hosts the podcast Heightened Babble with comedian JB Ball, with new episodes weekly.
