Comedian ‘Mind of Mencia’ host Brad Williams @ Captain Brien’s
Comedian Brad Williams has lived a true comic Cinderella story. Born with Achondroplastic dwarfism, Brad would endure countless taunts and gawks from classmates and random people on the street.

After his set, Mencia decided to bring Brad on the road with him as his opening act. Brad has been touring with Carlos ever since, even making a few appearances on The Mind of Mencia on Comedy Central. Don’t miss this great comedy act for only $20! 18+
