Brad Zinn is one of the most sought after entertainers in his field. Brad's background in
acting and comedy make his performances a cut above the average entertainer. Brad adds
elements of storytelling, magic, impressions and music to make his act absolutely unique.
After beginning his theatrical endeavors as a child actor, (winning several contests with
his impressions) Brad turned professional in 1975. He pursued acting and magic careers
simultaneously for the next ten years. However, the entertaining arts became all consuming and
the acting career was all but eclipsed by his success in legerdemain.
“The Great Comedians” marks his return to his roots as an actor.
Brad is now regularly engaged by theatres, hotels, major cruise lines, fundraising
organizations, and corporate meeting planners across the United States as a comedian,
impressionist, magician, and as a Master of Ceremonies.
Recent engagements have taken him to England to appear at the world famous London
Palladium, around the world on Holland America, Norwegian and Radisson Cruise Lines, and to
headline the historic Fox Theatre in Visalia California.
In December 1995 he made his first appearance in the Dominican Republic and
headlined with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. Brad was also honored by the City Of Phoenix
to be the first magician to appear at the city’s newly restored Orpheum Theater. He returned
there for a sold out performance of his show "The Great Comedians."
Brad has performed alongside many celebrities including Dick Van Dyke, Shirley Jones,
Cliff Robertson, Paul Rodriguez, amon Wayans, Will Shriner, Richard Crenna, Justin Wilson
(the Cajun Chef), Harry Anderson, and Lynda Carter, among others.
Brad Zinn is also recognized as a media consultant for advertisers, industrial accounts
and other performers. His articles have been published in various trade periodicals and he is
currently writing his first major book on the entertainment industry.
A performing member of Hollywood's prestigious Magic Castle, Zinn also boasts
appearances on the Las Vegas "strip" as well. His experience includes video production, event
production, advertising, custom lyric writing and his voice may be recognized from the hundreds
of radio and T.V. commercials he has recorded, or from the six films in which he has appeared.
Brad also hosted "The New Variety Arts," a cable talk show, for two years which resulted
in a full page spread in the Arizona Republic newspaper.
Zinn's accomplishments have been acknowledged in "Who's Who in Entertainment,"
"Who's Who in the World," and "International Men of Achievement."
He is a member of Screen Actors Guild, American Federation of Radio and Television
Artists, the International Brotherhood of Magicians (the exclusive 'Order of Merlin'), the Society of
American Magicians (founded by Harry Houdini), the Hollywood Magic Castle, and many other
professional organizations.
Brad is currently involved in a diverse array of activities. In addition to performing his
comedy, impressions, magic, and emceeing for major functions, he is also keeping his hand in
video production through Brad Zinn Entertainment Enterprises.
Twice weekly for over a dozen years, he has studied bel-canto voice technique and is
adding singing as a high lyric baritone to his list of credits.
