"The town is still talking about how good the entertainment was. You were easily the best entertainment we have ever had." - Tony mcKee, president of the Liberal KS Chamber of Commerce
"The audience was full of state legislators, lobbyists, elected officials, board members and two ex-governors. Brad Upton easily met the challenges of keeping his "intimidating" audience laughing throughout his presentation. I highly recommend Brad for any group that is looking for a professional comedian." - Dennis Heck, President Television Washington
"I don't think your the least bit funny. Do you actually think you'll grow up and make people laugh for a living?' - Mrs. painter, Brads 8th grade German Teacher

Bio
Brad Upton is a past winner of the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and appeared recently at Caesar's Palace as part of the HBO Comedy Festival. Twenty three years and 4500 shows have made this Seattle based comic a much sought after performer and earned the respect of his peers.
Writing about everyday life, a long term marriage and anything else that pops into his head, Brad packs more laughs-per-minute into his set than nearly anyone in the business. He has been seen in concert with Johnny Mathis, Kenny Rogers, The Smothers Brothers, Lewis Black, Joan Rivers, Dolly Parton, Rita Rudner and Tim Allen. He is currently touring theaters and performing arts centers with The Masters of Stand Up, a group that includes comedy stars: Jimmy Brogan, Cathy Ladman and Maryellen Hooper.
His ease and likability on stage have made him very popular with corporate clients and the cruise ship industry where he is a headline performer for several of the major cruise lines. Brad's corporate clients include: Microsoft , Tyson Foods, Pillsbury, Nintendo, Hertz, Safeway, Tennessee Valley Authority, Muscular Dystrophy Association, ATT Wireless, Honeywell, Progressive Insurance, Compaq, BP Oil, Motorola, National Hockey League
And many more. Brad has headlined nearly every comedy club from Anchorage to Miami but his club appearances are becoming increasingly rare because of his busy schedule. Brad has made numerous television appearances and was heard around the nation for several years as a regular guest on National Public Radio's "REWIND" program. Brad and his wife of 21-years have a 14-year old son and 11-year old daughter....they live in a cul-de-sac.
