If the Pacific Northwest had a Mt. Rushmore of Comedy, this man’s head would be on it. With more than 30 years of experience in comedy, Brad Upton performs all over the world, and opens for some of the biggest names in show business, including the legendary Johnny Mathis.

Brad Upton was a 4th grade teacher and high school track coach (at Pasco High School) when he stepped on stage for the very first time in September of 1984 and he’s never looked back. He quickly rose through the stand-up comedy ranks making numerous television appearances and headlining comedy clubs from coast-to-coast.

In June of 2018 Brad went viral around the world. Dry Bar Comedy posted a video on Facebook and it had 36 million views in 10 days. Another video quickly followed, for a combined 47 million views in 11 days! His CD shot to Number 1 on the iTunes Comedy chart, and Brad’s Dry Bar Comedy videos currently have a combined 170 million views!

Brad's latest comedy album, "Brad Uptonogood" is heard regularly on Sirius Satellite Radio, and he recently released his first DVD, "Brad Upton, Live from the 509."
