Brad Stine

Brad Stine is an American comedian and author who was born in Bremen, Indiana in 1960. He began practicing magic at 13 and performed in bars and restaurants around Southern California while also learning sideshow stunts and sharpening his comedy. After a manager hired him in the late 1980s, he toured college campuses with fellow comics Craig Anton and Emery Emery, and his earliest television spot came on Showtime's Comedy Club Network. He kept working clubs and television, later setting aside magic and stunts to study acting and try out for film and TV roles. His screen credits include small parts in Welcome to Paradise (2007), Christmas with a Capital C (2011), and Persecuted (2014), as well as Sarah's Choice and Homeless for the Holidays. In 2008 he was part of The Apostles of Comedy, a comedy DVD featuring several stand-ups, and afterward toured with Ron Pearson, Jeff Allen, and Anthony Griffith.
