“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 Show, Dave 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 Legit, Sam and Cat, Mind of Mencia, Pitboss, 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.”
STAYIN’ ALIVE offers to their audiences the songs and sights of a full Bee Gees playlist, singing blockbusters such as “Night Fever”, “Jive Talkin’”, “How Deep Is Your Love”, “You Should Be Dancing”, “Nights on Broadway”, and “Stayin’ Alive”. In addition, they perform softer poetic ballads such as “I Started a Joke”, “Massachusetts”, “Fanny Be Tender”, “Words,” and “To Love Somebody” among other great hits.
STAYIN’ ALIVE is the largest and most definitive production of its kind, offering big screen video clips, photos, and dazzling imagery. STAYIN’ ALIVE has played intimate settings as a six-piece band and huge venues with a 62-piece orchestra. STAYIN’ ALIVE is the quintessential tribute band to the Bee Gees, capturing the excitement of live performance and the tender subtleties of the human voice!

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.

Music icon Barry Manilow has announced six new arena shows in March 2026. The GRAMMY®, TONY®, and EMMY® Award winner is set to bring his high-energy, hit-packed concert to Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va on Monday, March 2. This announcement kicks off what promises to be an exciting year ahead for Manilow, with new music on the horizon in 2026.
At every show, Manilow will celebrate local music educators with the Manilow Music Teacher Award. Created through the Manilow Music Project, a program of the Manilow Fund, the Manilow Music Teacher Award honors educators whose passion and dedication help bring music to life for their students. Nominees will be revealed on January 22nd, the same day voting opens. The teacher receiving the most online votes will be recognized live onstage during Manilow’s concert and will receive a total prize of $10,000 — a $5,000 cash award and $5,000 in “Manilow Bucks” for classroom instrument purchases.
In addition to celebrating each Manilow Music Teacher Award winner during the upcoming shows, audiences can expect an unforgettable evening as Manilow performs his greatest hits, including “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” and “Copacabana (At the Copa).” With his signature showmanship and timeless catalog, each performance will be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration with one of music’s most legendary performers.
Manilow recently released a music video for his new single “Once Before I Go.” In the video, Manilow portrays a character who sacrifices a traditional family life to pursue his dream as a performer. Filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, home to Manilow’s record-setting and critically-acclaimed residency, the video is directed by Jamie Thraves.
“Once Before I Go” was produced by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Demonte Posey, and written by Peter Allen and Dean Pitchford. Watch the music video, out now, HERE.
