Brad Williams

Williams was born with achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism. His condition plays a large part in both his stand-up comedy and his television roles. He attended Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, California, and the University of Southern California. He withdrew from the university to pursue his acting and comedy career.Williams got his start at age 19 by attending a Carlos Mencia live comedy show. While he was in the crowd, Mencia made jokes about dwarves. The people sitting close to Williams were afraid to laugh and appear insensitive. Mencia noticed this, then noticed Williams and asked him to join him on stage. Williams cracked a few jokes and impressed Mencia. Mencia then asked Williams to try stand-up and be his opening act on the road. Williams has been Mencia's opening act for multiple tours, opening up shows on both the Mind of Mencia tour and the popular Punisher Tour.

In 2022, Williams was hired as the lead comic of the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show Mad Apple.
