Brad Upton Returns Home With Fresh Material | Spokane News

Brad Upton, the Spokane-born comedian who went from local roots to national fame after his 2017 Dry Bar Comedy special, is back in town for a weekend of fresh, electrifying shows. With deep ties to the area — from EWU to track meets — he didn’t chase comedy full-time until age 28, but decades of relentless work have paid off. He’s opened for icons like Joan Rivers and shared stages with legends like Dolly Parton and Smokey Robinson. Now, with a brand-new special produced by Nate Bargatze’s team and primed for Netflix, Upton’s Spokane performances are a sneak peek at his most ambitious material yet. Thousands of shows later, this hometown hero is still grinding — and he’s bringing his best, most personal jokes back to the place that raised him.
