Brad Upton

With a career spanning over 40 years, comedy veteran Brad Upton is just getting started. The former fourth grade teacher and part-time track coach is seeing a resurgence unlike anyone else. His 2019 Dry Bar comedy special, “Boomer Triggers Gen-Z Snowflakes” with 26 million views on YouTube, is the 2nd most viewed comedy special on the planet.  The viral phenomenon sent his album to #1 on the iTunes Charts and drove his ensuing special “I’m Not Done Yet” to new heights. Collectively, the clips and full specials have garnered well over 400 million views across all platforms and continue to build momentum from newfound fans all across the country.

Over his storied career, Brad has appeared with legendary acts like Jeff Foxworthy, Neal McCoy, Kenny Rogers, Lewis Black, Dolly Parton, George Jones and the Smothers Brothers.  For 18 years he was the opening act for the legendary Johnny Mathis until the music icon retired last year.  In 2019, he drew the attention of the iconic Grand Ole Opry where he’s had the honor to step into the circle multiple times becoming a regular guest.
