up in Chicago. Since then he has performed all over Europe, the United
States, Mexico, and Morocco. He began his training as a child at the

of Physical Theater. In addition to these intensive studies, he has
taken courses ranging from improv with Second City to pantomime with
Marcel Marceau. Currently he is creating new performance pieces in his
private studio.
Brad Weston has entertained in all types of environments,
from filled to capacity four thousand seat theaters to small after dinner
shows for corporate clients. He has worked with operas, on cruise ships,
at dozens of museums, and at schools and festivals all over the United
States. His television credits include: "Ripley’s Believe
It or Not," "Early Edition," "The Today Show,"
"The Jenny Jones Show," and "Wild Chicago."
Most people, upon learning how tall Weston is, say that
they thought he was taller. His energy fills a room, even if the piece
he’s performing is quiet and reflective. He is passionate about
his work, and his audiences can’t help but be captivated by the
shear joy and wonder that he expresses. His work is a departure from
the traditions of circus and vaudeville. He takes over the stage and
transforms the environment, surprising the audience with each unexpected
turn.
