‘No nonsense’ comic Katt Williams kicks off two-night Tampa stand on Saturday

Actor and “no nonsense” comedian Katt Williams added a second Tampa performance due to popular demand, and both of his highly-anticipated gigs are finally here.

With a dozen stand-up comedy specials over a 16-year span under his belt, countless roles in cult classics like “Norbit” and “Friday after Next,” and even an Emmy for an appearance in season two of Donald Glover’s show “Atlanta,” Williams has garnered a reputation for being hilarious with a straightforward and honest bent.

The 52 year-old comedian recently made waves for his comments about other performers and Hollywood culture during his candid, three-hour interview on Club Shay, which has resulted in public pushback from Dave Chappelle and other celebrities, a parody skit on SNL and over 55 million views online. Williams does four shows in Tampa and Orlando—which may be chock full of more spicy celebrity commentary—before heading back up north on his national “Dark Matter” tour.

Tickets to Katt Williams’ Dark Matter Tour happening Saturday-Sunday, Feb. 3-4 at Yuengling Center (12499 USF Bull Run Dr. ) in Tampa start at $59.
