JF Party Dragon Charity, Inc. raises money for the community via its comedy shows, titled “Comedy for a Cause.” At 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17, at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts, the nonprofit presents hilarious, high-energy comedian Brad Williams – whom Robin Williams called “Prozac with a head.”

The Grunin Center is located on the main campus of Ocean County College, on College Drive in Toms River.

Brad Williams is one of the funniest and most in-demand comics working today. Williams, a California native, started performing stand-up at age 19, and has been touring ever since. He has appeared on numerous TV shows, including “Legit,” “Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground,” “Sam and Cat,” “Live at Gotham,” “The Tonight Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Mind of Mencia,” and “Pitboss.”

His one-hour comedy special “Fun Size” was the highest-rated comedy special on Showtime in 2015. A year later, he followed it up with a second special, called “Daddy Issues”; its airing prompted “The New York Times” to write: “No one is doing it more hilariously than Brad Williams.”

Williams is also a dynamic on-air personality; his podcast “About Last Night” is a mainstay on the iTunes charts, and he is a regular on KROQ’s “Kevin and Bean Show” in Los Angeles as well as Adam Carolla’s podcast.

Tickets cost $40. To purchase tickets, contact the Grunin Center at 732-255-0500 or visit grunincenter.org.
