Brad Williams

October 22 2026

11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Harrison Opera House 160 W Virginia Beach Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23510

“No one is doing stand-up comedy more hilariously than Brad Williams.”- New York Times

Pound for pound, Brad Williams is the funniest comedian in the country right now, and has become one of the most in-demand comedians working today. Williams started doing stand-up comedy as a teenager and has been touring successfully ever since, routinely selling out prestigious venues all over the country and world.

Williams has parlayed his live performances into a multitude of stand-up television appearances, including The Tonight ShowDave Attell’s Comedy Underground, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His first one-hour special, Fun Size, was the highest rated special on Showtime, and a year later, he followed that up with his second one, Daddy Issues, which was even more successful than the first. His third special in three years was an uproarious one, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. His last groundbreaking special on Netflix, The Degenerates, garnered more huge ratings and rave reviews.

Also an accomplished actor, Williams has appeared on numerous TV shows and feature films, including FX’s LegitSam and CatMind of MenciaPitboss, a recurring role on the Hulu original show Deadbeat, and memorable roles in a plethora of movies, including Little Evil, produced by Scott Stuber (Ted), as well as the Netflix original Christopher Guest film, Mascots, and most recently Reno 911: It’s A Wonderful Heist.

Recently, Brad became the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque de Soleil show in their 30 year history, when he agreed to launch—and do a three month run of—their newest show Mad Apple, at the magnificent 1200 seat New York New York Theater in Las Vegas. The show became an immediate smash hit to rave revues, singling out Williams for his incredible ability to captivate his audiences with his extraordinary performances.

In addition to stand-up and acting, Williams co-created and co-hosted one of the most successful podcasts in the world, with friend and fellow comic Adam Ray, entitled About Last Night, which was always a mainstay on the iTunes charts during their five year run. Additionally, he is also a regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several national radio and podcast platforms, including KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show and The Adam Carolla Show.

Williams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability, relationships, sex, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members; which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.”

Lindsey Webster at Attucks Theatre

June 13 2026

11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Attucks Theatre 1010 Church St, Norfolk, VA 23510

Singer and songwriter Lindsey Webster straddles the world of jazz, R&B, and pop, all delivered with a voice that combines beauty of tone with an impressive range. In just a few years in the onset of her career, she has achieved a remarkable track record: two #1’s and seven Top 10’s on the Billboard contemporary jazz chart—the first vocalist to garner a #1 on that chart since Sade.

If Sade were to take over Mariah Carey’s body and sing to tracks written by Steely Dan, the combination might hit somewhere close to Lindsey Webster’s sound. Until that happens, though, there will just be Lindsey. Woodstock, NY, Lindsey’s native town, might also have had something to do with her powerhouse’s lyrics, style, and down-to-earth attitude.

From the first note, Lindsey Webster captivates listeners. Her rich, soulful voice enchants a dedicated following who connect with the raw emotion she shares with them. As a soul R&B artist, she combines an admirable natural talent with a genuine, accessible stage presence.

In 2009, Lindsey met her partner, Keith Slattery, and started performing professionally. Together, with a band of world-class musicians, they’ve performed over 600 shows in venues including Bearsville Theater, Levon Helm Studios, Helsinki Hudson, Daryl’s House, The Falcon, The Lambs Club, Rockwood Music Hall, and the Red Lion.

Recording mostly original songs written by her and her collaborator pianist/bandleader Keith Slattery, Lindsey’s music conveys a smooth sultriness underpinned by genuine passion. Audiences at her concert dates nationally and internationally are wowed by her ability to put across a song without excessive showbiz gimmicks, but at key moments open up and soar to thrilling heights with a seemingly effortless ability to hit high notes. As such, she occupies a special artistic lane occupied by a relatively small handful of iconic performers such as Angela Bofill, Anita Baker, Will Downing, Sade, and Maysa. Lindsey brings her distinct Smooth Jazz Style infused with Soul R&B, continuing to make music that resonates with her fans.

Wilderness Photography Foundation’s Traveling Exhibit, Nature’s Generosity

June 6 - July 11 2026

11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
d'Art Center 740 Boush St, Norfolk, VA 23510

Saturday, June 6th – Saturday, July 11th, 2026

Photography allows us to capture and reflect on the remarkable landscapes and diverse ecosystems that surround us, fostering a deeper appreciation for our environment. The Wilderness Photography Foundation’s mission is to use the visual power of photography to increase awareness of the beauty and value of wilderness and wildlife to encourage action to protect and preserve wild space.

The health of public lands, wildlife, predators, pollinators, and entire ecosystems is not just an environmental issue, it is a foundation for the stability and survival of life on Earth as we know it. Every species plays a role in maintaining balance. Predators regulate populations, pollinators sustain the food supply, forests and wetlands filter water and stabilize climate, and biodiversity as a whole build’s resilience. When short-term profit leads to long-term destruction, the cost isn’t just paid by nature, it is paid by future generations, by global stability, by food systems, and by the 99% of life that never had a say in the decision. Preservation isn’t a luxury. It is an investment in planetary health, economic sustainability, and the wellbeing of all living things.

Art, through creative expression, can inspire wonder, promote conversation, challenge assumptions, connect diverse thinking, help imagine new solutions, and motivate action for positive change. Join us in preserving the beauty of the wilderness through the art of photography.

Teddy Swims

June 9 2026

11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Chartway Arena 4320 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23508

Today, breakout superstar Teddy Swims announces his Summer 2026 EAST COAST HEADLINE DATES, alongside a major run of festival appearances. The announcement follows a milestone year for Swims, who wrapped a sold-out global tour, earned his second career Grammy nomination, and made history with his Diamond-certified smash “Lose Control,” which set the record for the longest-charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

 

Before kicking off his string of headline shows in Uncasville, CT, Swims will perform at major festivals including Coachella, StagecoachBottleRock and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, before wrapping up the tour as a Bonnaroo Headliner.

 

Swims’ meteoric rise has been fueled by his multi-part debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy, which spawned the Diamond-certified global smash “Lose Control.” The track reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, became the longest-charting song in Hot 100 history, topped five radio formats, and has surpassed 4 billion streams.

 

After earning his first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2025, Swims is now nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards for I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2). He recently completed a sold-out world tour in support of the project and continues with this next leg and a dominant festival run in 2026.
