As he approaches his 20<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> anniversary in the business, the veteran entertainer known for his insightful, often polarizing material gears up to embark on his next tour, Conspiracy Theory, with a renewed sense of self, yet the exact same mode of operation that turned the once emancipated teenager into a household name\u2014 comedy on his own terms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A Katt Williams show is more than a guaranteed belly laugh. As one of this generation\u2019s rare urban public officials, Williams guarantees his audience an experience that will encourage further conversation after his curtain closes\u2014it\u2019s an articulate, sharp dialogue that surfaces with names like Trump, Cosby and NASA, but is rooted in evergreen conversations like politics, race relations and police brutality\u2014 all a mere (and mirror) reflection of the American political landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Having strategically remained silent through the better part of 2015, Williams returns to the stage renewed, putting an end to his hiatus and more noticeably a challenging personal history. The long-awaited rebirth of the beloved comedian is more than a reinvention, and the Katt with seemingly more than nine lives, is set to hit the road with a kind of vigor found only in newly-awakened individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Born on September 2, 1971 (Williams is 44) in Cincinnati, Ohio, he grew up in Dayton. Always the strong-willed, self-motivated young man, Williams became emancipated early in his teens and moved himself to Florida where he worked as a door-to-door salesman. It wasn\u2019t long before a teenage Williams had his first stand-up experience, thrilling a crowd with a five-minute improv routine, much to his surprise. That\u2019s when he knew. Willliams, having searched his entire adolescence for a sense of purpose, discovered the rich fulfillment in making people smile, even if just for those five minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Encouraged by his early success, Williams committed himself to fine-tuning his God-given talent\u2014 a unique comedic delivery audiences had not yet witnessed\u2014 by performing his routines in clubs all over the country. By 1999, he had become an established comic, playing amongst the Greats (Martin Lawrence, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock), taking center stage at the most renowned stages in the U.S.: The Improv, The Comedy Club, The Icehouse, etc. and doing what no other stand-up comic was doing\u2014 cultivating an authentic friendship with his audience. When he realized he was beginning to gain a loyal fan base, he made a smooth transition into Film and Television.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Williams first found himself on the small screen in 2002, as a guest star on \u201cNYPD Blue,\u201d swiftly followed by \u201cThe Tracy Morgan Show,\u201d \u201cMy Wife and Kids,\u201d \u201cThe Boondocks\u201d and countless other hit series. 2002 was a year of many \u201cfirsts\u201d for the triple-threat, as Williams also debuted on the big screen for the first time, playing \u201cMoney Mike\u201d in \u201cFriday After Next\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Next, he joins Ed Helms and Owen Wilson in the Warner Bros. film \u201cBastards,\u201d set for theatrical release next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2005, he joined Nick Cannon in his wildly-popular MTV improv show \u201cWild n\u2019 Out\u201d where he remained for three full seasons, also adding \u201cRebound\u201d to his film resume that year, the \u201cEpic Movie\u201d in 2007 and \u201cFirst Sunday\u201d in 2008. All the while touring, Williams also turned several of his shows (\u201cThe Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s Pimpin\u2019 Pimpin\u2019,\u201d \u201cKattpacalypse,\u201d \u201cPriceless: Afterlife,\u201d \u201cKatt Williams Live,\u201d \u201cAmerican Hustle\u201d) into HBO Specials that would draw some of the largest numbers the prominent network had seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Whether on stage or at home, Williams takes his personal style seriously and has always had a genuine love of fashion. Tailored suits, fur coats, one-of-a-kind kicks, it\u2019s all in play in the Williams household, a home he proudly maintains as a place that encourages pursuing your personal best and greatness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, April 1st\u00a08pm James L Knight Center 400 SE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33131 $59 &#8211; $175 \u200bhttp:\/\/kattwilliams.com\/ Katt Williams may have had some serious drawbacks in his personal life, but not in his larger than life comedy performances.
