Bradley Laborman was born in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. In his early childhood, Bradley suffered from a speech impediment that caused him to almost be placed into the special education program in his small town elementary school. With some pressure from his mother the school agreed to have him work with a speech pathologist for the first three years of his education. During this time, Bradley would have to demonstrate his progress by doing performances in front of his classmates and teachers. By the end of First Grade, Bradley had graduated from the speech program and no longer had a strong speech impediment. He did however gain a love for performance in front of large groups of people and that was where his love of theatre began. Bradley was involved with live theatre in the school and in the community. In 10th grade the school added a Channel One system to their building which meant that people could now do live video announcements for the entire school From this Bradley created Friday Morning Features, where he would do short videos about something that was going on in the school or the community. In 1998, Bradley created Bradman: The Movie as a senior project at Buena Vista University. This was the first time a student at Buena Vista had created a full length feature film as a project. It premiered May 5, 1998 in Storm Lake, Iowa. The movie has been distributed numerous times on YouTube and online, but because of music used in the production and copyright claims it is unable to be viewed online at this time. In college, Bradley was involved in theatre, radio and television production. After college, Bradley served as a box office manager for The Old Creamery Theatre in Amana, Iowa and also spent some time on stage with the company as well. In 2001, Bradley started hosting a radio show on a Local AM Station in Iowa City, Iowa. The show was a 4 hour unscripted show and Bradley soon learned that though he loved the radio bits he longed for physical humor people could seem. In October, 2002, Bradley began work on Tonight with Bradman on Iowa City Public Access. Soon he grew a large following on this program and after being fired from the radio station put all his focus onto TWB. On April 13, 2006, A tornado struck the town of Iowa City, Iowa. Tonight with Bradman was scheduled to appear on that night. Bradley decided instead of canceling the show he would alter the regular format in order to help the citizens of Iowa City communicate with each other during the aftermath of the Tornado. This even soon skyrocketed the shows reach as people from the city began to share clips of Laborman's tornado coverage with people around the world via a new website called YouTube. In 2008, Bradley re-branded his Tonight with Bradman format to a web-streaming platform and became BradmanTV. In 2009, Bradley began working on iDUMP4U, a website where people could break up with their boyfriends/girlfriends via Laborman. The calls were then placed on YouTube. Shortly after it's creation the web series was picked up by TruTV and created into a series which unfortunately only had a pilot episode. Laborman then moved to NYC to work on the project. After several years and several project in NYC and Hollywood, Laborman returned to the Midwest to "retire" from television and movie making and focus on live streaming and social media and pursue a career outside of the industry. In 2020, during the pandemic and quarantine, Laborman found himself having time to focus on writing again. He began to turn his sights on a reboot of the college senior project that had launched his love of movie making so many years earlier. As of January 2021, Laborman has began production on the upcoming reboot, Bradman: The Movie slated for release in Fall of 2021.
