"Stalks the stage like the bastard hate child of Bill Hicks and Nick Cave" - Paul Selman
"Offensive and distrubing" - Ediburgh Festival Selection Committee

While not an established name on the club circuit, Brad's volatile, outspoken nature and his affiliation with the Rock 'N' Rant movement have endeared him to audiences on the Medway pub circuit.
He has released one album in affiliation with Rock 'N' Rant: "Brad Harmer - Live At The Command House", which has proved very succesful, most likely due to the infamous "Burn, Chatham, Burn" sequence. A follow-up "Medway Messiah", is due for release in 2006.
In addition to his work as a stand-up comedian, Brad is also involved with several local bands, including Brannigan's Law, SJ. Driller Killer and Doom Clench. He also occaisionally acts, and is currently writing a graphic novel set within H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.
