Who Brad Wenzel is

Brad Wenzel is a stand-up comedian from the Detroit comedy scene, known for dry, off-beat one-liners that jump between everyday observation and surrealism, who began doing stand-up in Michigan at 17. After a seven-year stint in Los Angeles he has toured 38 states over fifteen years, made three stand-up appearances on Conan and performed on Netflix Is a Joke Radio and Don't Tell Comedy.

His debut album, Sweet Nothings (2017), came out on Jack White's Third Man Records and is heard on SiriusXM, where his track Razor Sharp Crowd Work was played on the Raw Comedy channel in September 2025. Paste listed his 2023 special joke. joke. joke. among the twenty best comedy specials of the year, and his newest special, Desperate Times, came out on 15 April 2026.
