Katt Williams is kicking off 2008 with a bang.  In addition to his role alongside Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan in the just-released major motion picture First Sunday, the outrageous comedy star is hitting the road for his next national stand-up tour, The It’s Pimpin’ Pimpin’ Tour. 

Williams is consistently recognized as one of the hottest standup comedians on the scene today.  In 2007, his Pimp Chronicles Tour was the second highest grossing comedy act in the country, selling out theatres in every major market across the country. He was also added to the very short list of comedians to earn the honor of performing at Radio City Music Hall; selling out two consecutive days at the venue.

Last winter, Code Black Entertainment released Williams’ HBO Special, “Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1.”  Taped live in Atlanta, the show featured guest appearances from Cam’Ron, Lil’ Jon, Snoop Dogg, Andre 3000, and Anthony Anderson. One of the highest rated comedy specials on the network in the past two years, the special garnered 3.6 million viewers and has since gone triple platinum in DVD sales. The highly-anticipated follow up – KATT WILLIAMS: AMERICAN HUSTLE – is now available on DVD.  Katt was also featured as one of the cast players on the wildly popular MTV series “Nick Cannon’s Wild n’ Out”

Given all of his success on the big and small screen, Williams’ first love is live performance.  Inspired by greats like Richard Pryor, Don Knotts, Eddie Murphy, George Carlin and Dave Chapelle, Katt’s greatest thrill is connecting with an audience.  “It’s the best I ever feel,” he explains.  “Applause is my drug of choice.”

Williams appears at the Louisville Palace on March 15.  The 7:30pm performance is sold out, but tickets are still available for the 10:30pm performance.

Reserved tickets for Katt Williams are on sale now at The Louisville Palace Box Office, Livenation.com, Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets.
