    About Brian Simpson

    “Brian Simpson: Live from the Mothership,” now on Netflix, instantly soared to the platform's pinnacle.

    In this uproarious special, Brian navigates the complexities of racism, gun violence, masculinity, and more with wit and charm.

    Within the hour, he seamlessly weaves storytelling and timing, evoking laughter effortlessly.
    But beneath the humor lies an inspiring journey.

    From a tumultuous childhood in foster care to serving in the U.S. Marines, where he stood out as the lone Black man in his corps, Simpson's experiences have shaped his comedic lens.

    Even amidst homelessness upon his arrival in Los Angeles a mere decade ago, his resilience shone through.

    Before comedy claimed his heart, Brian honed his skills in the tech industry and even worked at the Pentagon.

    It was during his tenure at The Mad House comedy club in San Diego, where he was employed in security, that he discovered his knack for humor.

    Recognized as one of Variety’s Top Comics to Watch and currently gracing Netflix’s “The Standups” Season 3, Simpson's career trajectory is nothing short of meteoric.
