He’s an author of 3 kid books and a podcast (because you have to have a podcast if you live in America nowadays) for Focus on the Family under the brand name “The Adventure’s of Average Boy”. He also is a massive hotel shampoo collector. The jokes come at you fast but will always be 100% clean for you and your family to enjoy!

Brian Atkinson is an all-around nice guy, and a horrible person. Brian makes jokes, but only the finest artisan, hand-crafted, farm-to-table-saw jokes. Brian has shared the stage with the legendary Bob Nelson, Dennis Regan, Robert G. Lee, Kira Soltanovich, Jeff Jena, Leslie Norris Townsend, Dave Williamson, Last Comic Standing’s Tommy Ryman, Chris Young, and Andy Beningo.
