“Brad Thacker, really great comic by the way”-Sal The Stockbroker on the Howard Stern Show, 2/16/05
Brad Thacker was born in 1980, after recieving a degree in radio broadcasting in 2000, he decided to try his
hand at comedy, hosting and telling jokes for his friend’s "Free The Music" benefit in 2002. Having not ever
done stand up in front of a audience, he wooed the crowd of over 200 people (not all at the same time, but
throughout the night 200 people saw him) at the Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky.
Being a veteran of 4 years, he has over 200 gigs under his size 30 belt. From poetry slams to metal clubs to
audiences of 5 (with 4 being other comics), he comes to entertain, sometimes offend, and always leaves people
wondering what’s next. From his rants about growing up in small town Indiana; “I was a Nirvana kid surrounded
by Garth Brook's fans...needless to say, I came home bruised with my self worth totally lost until I graduated
and lost contact with most of those idiots.”, to crowd pleasers about Dale Earnhardt and a new way to roleplay
with a woman. He, as well as his other comic friends have done a lot of charity work, raising money for Matt Maupin,
Rock The Vote, The West Memphis Three, and Greg Harris for Congress. He has a one man show written, and several script
ideas that don’t feature talking animals, big CGI special effects, Julia Roberts, a cute kid, or a hip teeny bopper
cast of morons.
He cites as some of his major comedy influences as: David Cross, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Doug Stanhope, Rev. Bob Levy,
Jim Florentine, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, George Carlin, Redd Foxx, Margaret Cho, Bill Murray, John Belushi,
Frank Zappa, Howard Stern, Chevy Chase, “This CD of dirty trucker jokes I bought at a gas station on the way to
Cleveland”, Trey Anastasio, and several ex-girlfriends. HE HAS WORKED WITH SUCH ACTS AS DAVE CHAPPELLE, DAVE ATTELL,
RICH VOS REV. BOB LEVY, JIM FLORENTINE, TODD LYNN, LOUIS CK, CAST MEMBERS AND WRITERS OF THE HOWARD STERN SHOW, AND
RALPHIE MAY. You can book him at the above email address. He also enjoys pizza parties too! You can laugh fuckers, it’s not your life.
