Club Shay Shay·EntertainmentJustin Bieber Confronts Brad Williams After Joke I CLUB SHAY SHAY
TL;DR
Comedian Brad Williams recounts Justin Bieber confronting him after a lesbian couple joke, then laughing it off like a good sport.
Key Points
- 1.Bieber took the joke in stride at just 19. Brad Williams called Bieber and Selena Gomez 'Hollywood's hottest lesbian couple' at the Laugh Factory; Bieber approached him after the set, was friendly, and just laughed.
- 2.Williams was literally picketed by little people over the word 'midget.' At Joey's Comedy Club in Leavonia, Michigan, protesters held 3x5 cards outside; he invited them in and they ultimately accepted his intent after watching the show.
- 3.Williams believes no topic is off-limits as long as the intent is to entertain. He cites Chappelle, Shane Gillis, and Whitney Cummings — whose abortion doctor joke he called savage — as proof that comedians can and should push past any perceived line.
- 4.Williams and Shannon Sharp jokingly reassigned awareness months. Williams argued little people should get February (shortest month) instead of October (Halloween month), and Sharp 'officially' moved Black History Month to June for Juneteenth and the 31-day advantage.
- 5.Williams raised over half a million dollars for bullied Australian boy Quinton Bales. After a viral video showed Quinton crying and saying he didn't want to exist, Williams started a GoFundMe — amplified by Hugh Jackman — and the family donated the money to anti-bullying and anti-suicide charities.
