KATT WILLIAMS - IT’S PIMPIN’ PIMPIN’ TOUR FRIDAY, APRIL 25 AT THE FOX THEATRE

By Popular Demand-Second Show Added-On Sale

DETROIT — By popular demand, a second show has been added to see the outrageous comedy star, Katt Williams, at the Fox Theatre! This newly added performance is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 25.

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, Donn 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.”
