He has three siblings, and he is the second eldest. Stine's parents divorced when he was eight, but they later remarried and moved to California, only to divorce once again. He stayed with his father, who briefly left the auto-body business to travel with his brother to carnivals in the Midwest. His father later remarried and returned to his previous work. Early career Stine started practicing magic tricks at age 13, which later led to his performing magic in Southern California bars and restaurants. Stine also learned to perform sideshow stunts and began honing his comedy skills. In the late 1980s, Stine was hired by a manager and toured colleges across the country with comedians Craig Anton and Emery Emery. His first television appearance was on Showtime’s "Comedy Club Network." Stine continued to work in comedy clubs and on TV, and eventually dropped his magic tricks and stunts. He started taking acting lessons and auditioned for movies and television shows. On the advice of a fellow comic, he eventually made his Christian faith and conservatism the focus of his act. Personal life Stine lives in Brentwood, Tennessee, with his wife Desiree, and their two children.[3] Comedic style Stine's style has been described by Newsweek as "aggressive" with a "rat-a-tat delivery"[4] and by The New Yorker as "frantic, aggressive, and caustic, with echoes of Robin Williams, Sam Kinison, and George Carlin."[1] However, unlike these and a lot of other comedians, Stine does not use profanity or sexual humor because of his Christian faith.[5] He has been described as "a clean Denis Leary" and his material targets "liberals, humanists, political correctness and judgmental Christians."[6] Stine has claimed that his conservatism has sometimes resulted in the loss of appearances.[7] Major appearances Stine has appeared on several stand-up comedy shows, such as A&E’s "Evening at the Improv" and MTV's "Half Hour Comedy Hour," and has appeared on news programs such as Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes[8]," CNN's "Paula Zahn NOW[9]" and "Glenn Beck[10]," and the NBC Nightly News. Stine has also been interviewed on National Public Radio[5][11] and has been featured on FOXNews.com[2] and in Newsweek[12], the New Yorker[1], USA Today, and several other newspapers nationwide. He was a featured performer for Promise Keepers in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2007. Also in 2004, he performed for "R: the Party," a party hosted by Jenna and Barbara Bush during the Republican National Convention in New York City.[11] Stine has also appeared with Go Fish (Christian band) for the song Christmas with a Capital "C", which convicts the politically correct term "happy holidays" and supports the use of the traditional term "Merry Christmas." GodMen Inspired by author David Murrow,[13] Stine founded GodMen, a proposed alternative to Promise Keepers that emphasizes "spiritual masculinity."[4] GodMen's inaugural event was held on October 28, 2006, in Nashville, Tennessee, and drew 200 men.[14] Their second event was held on March 10, 2007,[15] in rented space at a Franklin, Tennessee, mall[16] and drew about 300 men.[17] Many more events were scheduled for 2007 and 2008.[18] Acting work Stine has appeared in minor roles in a handful of big and small screen movies,[19] including the 2009 films Sarah's Choice and Homeless for the Holidays. Multimedia Brad Stine currently has two books and five performance videos/recordings available. A VHS was also available for purchase on a nationwide church tour.
