Brad Hinderliter’s long lost “Up For Anything” Bud Light commercial w/ Rodney Carrington

Brad Hinderliter's "Up For Any Thing" Bud Light commercial

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Rodney Carrington, Owen Benjamin and our own Brad Hinderliter were asked to be part of a Bud Light commercial during the Wild West Comedy Festival in 2015. Brad was doing a bar show in a honkytonk as part of WWCF and they interrupted him, asking if he was “up for anything.” They handcuffed a briefcase to his wrist and told him he needed to bring it to Rodney Carrington. Then Hinderliter was dragged around town doing beer commercial type stuff: being in a parade, riding in a monster truck, etc. He then found out that he would be opening for Rodney Carrington at TPAC that night.

“It was a lot of fun,” says Brad, “and they wouldn’t let me drink beer.”

Rodney Carrington posted the clip on his Youtube channel, saying, “The commercial never aired… so we are airing it.” Here it is:

Mike Birbiglia will be in Nashville in the Future Also

Comedian Mike Birbiglia‘s off-Broadway theatrical performance, “Sleepwalk with Me,” has received rave reviews and contract extensions as other shows closed their doors by the droves. The show, which chronicles Mike’s struggles with sleepwalking and the effects that has had on his romantic relationship, was previewed to Nashville at Zanies when Mike was preparing for his run at the Bleeker Street Theater in New York City. More recent bookings at Zanies have been postponed as “Sleepwalk”s run was extended, but fret not! Mr. Birbiglia just touched base with N’Sup to let us know he’s coming back soon-ish:
