FRIDAY, JUNE 16 @ JAYHAWK THEATRE
Most known for ‘Millennials,’ which hit 12 million views in 48 hours, Brad Upton was catapulted into Dry Bar comedic stardom in 2018. With a current standing of nearly 90 million views, Upton’s ‘Millennials’ set holds Dry Bar’s current record as the most watched stand-up video ever. Other recent hits include “I’m Not Done Yet” — Upton’s Dry Bar Specials alone have more than 200 million views.
Brad’s observational humor and witty perspectives have earned him a loyal following. Despite his success, and performing for sold-out audiences all over the world, Brad remains humble and dedicated to his craft – striving to connect with his fans and raise the bar with each performance. Brad and his wife of 31 years are cul-de-sac dwellers and proud empty-nesters.
