Brad Upton is bringing his sharp, understated clean comedy to the historic Franklin Theatre for a special night of stand-up as he films a brand new comedy special in partnership with Nate Bargatze’s Nateland Entertainment.
A veteran comedian with decades of experience, Brad Upton is best known for his wildly popular Dry Bar Comedy special WILL BE FUNNY FOR MONEY, which has amassed more than 24 million views and remains the most-watched special in Dry Bar Comedy history. With his trademark deadpan delivery, razor-sharp observations, and effortless storytelling, Brad has built a devoted fanbase by proving that comedy can be smart, relatable, and hilarious without relying on shock or profanity.
This upcoming taping marks Brad’s first comedy special since I’M NOT DONE YET, and audiences can expect an evening of expertly crafted jokes, clean humor, and nonstop laughs. Brad’s comedy draws from everyday life, family, and the absurdities we all recognize, delivered with the confidence and timing of a true master of the craft.
Set in the intimate and iconic Franklin Theatre, this special taping is a rare opportunity to see one of stand-up comedy’s most respected clean comedians capture a new chapter of his career—live, authentic, and undeniably funny.
