Katt Williams has a dirty mouth and he isn't afraid to use it. In his 60-minute live stand up DVD, The Pimp Chronicles Part 1, the fast-talking, perfectly coiffed comic delivers his animated observations on the war in Iraq, the ever escalating strength of weed, women who stress over their stretch marks, and plenty else with a healthy dose of unabashed profanity.
He's received the seal of approval from Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, who gave him the "Best Los Angeles Comics" Award in 1999; he's had numerous comic film roles, from Money Mike in 2002's Friday After Next, to Lord Have Mercy in this year's Norbit; he's a regular guest on Nick Cannon's highly-rated MTV improv show, Wild n' Out; he's performed with the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams in 2006's Comic Relief; and he's produced two successful 60-minute stand-up shows.
His stand-up tour stops in Tampa this Sunday evening. Other performers include Melanie Comarcho, Luenell and Red Grant.
