Stand-up comedian Brad Williams is set to headline The Tall Tales Tour this Saturday at a storied Manhattan venue, bringing decades of stage, television and podcast credits to a stop in New York City. Williams began his career doing stand-up as a teenager and has built a touring career ever since, according to venue materials.
The performance is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, at The Town Hall, according to thetownhall.org. As PIX11 reported, Williams dives into a new hour-long special as part of the New York City show. The venue, located in the city, has become a familiar stop for touring comedians and performers of all kinds over the past century.
A Career Built On Television And Filmed Specials
Williams' television resume includes appearances on The Tonight Show, Dave Attell's Comedy Underground and Jimmy Kimmel Live, per the same Town Hall biography. His first one-hour special, Fun Size, was described in that account as the highest-rated special on Showtime. A year later he followed it with a second hour-long special titled Daddy Issues, according to a description from the Carolina Theatre.
Beyond stand-up specials, Williams also made history in Las Vegas by becoming the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque du Soleil show, launching the production Mad Apple, the venue's materials note. That milestone sits alongside his work co-creating and co-hosting the podcast About Last Night with fellow comic Adam Ray, a show the same source describes as one of the most successful podcasts in the world during its five-year run.
A Century-Old Stage In Midtown
Saturday's show unfolds inside a venue with its own deep history. The Town Hall was founded in 1921 and has hosted more than a century of landmark performances, according to the venue's own account. That backdrop gives Williams' New York stop an extra layer of occasion, placing his tour alongside a long line of acts that have passed through the same stage over the decades.
Details such as ticket pricing, seating configuration and the exact showtime were not independently confirmed in materials reviewed for this story. What is clear is that Williams arrives in New York City this weekend carrying a résumé that spans late-night television, a Las Vegas circus stage and one of comedy's more talked-about podcasts, all folded into a single night of stand-up billed as The Tall Tales Tour.
