About This Event
Join guest instructor and headliner Brad Upton, along with hosts Jerry and Glenner and some of Fairbanks’ newest comedians, fresh off the Fairbanks Funny Festival workshops, for a night of stand-up and discovery.
With a career spanning over 37 years, comedy veteran Brad Upton is just getting started. The former fourth-grade teacher and part-time track coach is seeing a resurgence unlike anyone else. His 2019 Dry Bar Comedy special, Boomer Triggers Gen-Z Snowflakes, with 16.1 million views on YouTube, is the second most-viewed comedy special on the planet. The viral phenomenon sent the album to #1 on the iTunes comedy charts and drove his ensuing special, I’m Not Done Yet, to new heights. Collectively, the clips and full specials have garnered well over 200 million views across all platforms and continue to build momentum with fans across the country.
Over his storied career, Brad has appeared with legendary acts including Jeff Foxworthy, Neal McCoy, Kenny Rogers, Lewis Black, Dolly Parton, George Jones, and continues to tour with music icon Johnny Mathis. In 2019, he drew the attention of the iconic Grand Ole Opry, where he has had the honor of stepping into the circle multiple times and is now a regular guest.
