Brian Simpson

If you don’t know Brian Simpson yet, you’re missing out on one of the sharpest, most effortlessly funny comics working today. A former foster kid turned Marine turned stand-up powerhouse, Simpson has a style that’s as brutally honest as it is hysterically relatable. He doesn’t just tell jokes—he drops wisdom disguised as punchlines, making you laugh while rethinking your whole outlook on life.

Born with a built-in bullshit detector, Simpson’s comedy hits that sweet spot between blunt force trauma and surgical precision. He’s got that rare ability to tackle tough subjects—race, politics, relationships—without making you feel like you’re at a lecture. Instead, he slides in with a perspective you didn’t see coming, then wrecks you with a line so perfect it feels like it should’ve always existed.

Rising Star with a Veteran’s Edge

Despite being a relative newcomer to mainstream audiences, Simpson has been grinding in the comedy trenches for years. His breakout moment came when he was featured as one of the New Faces of Comedy at the Just for Laughs festival, a launchpad for legends. He then went on to Netflix’s The Standups (Season 3) and instantly became a favorite among fans of smart, no-nonsense comedy.

His time in the Marine Corps didn’t just give him material—it honed his ability to observe, dissect, and destroy nonsense with the efficiency of a precision strike. That discipline, combined with his street-level wisdom, gives his stand-up an authenticity that’s hard to fake.

A Comedian’s Comedian

Comics respect him. Audiences love him. And if you don’t, that’s a you problem. Brian Simpson’s on-stage presence is that of a guy who’s been through it all and come out the other side funnier, sharper, and completely unfiltered. He’s not just working the clubs—he’s commanding them, making seasoned veterans and industry insiders take notice.

With a growing fanbase, a strong podcast game, and no signs of slowing down, Simpson is a name you’re going to hear a lot more of.
