So I had purchased tickets to go see Katt Williams at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA on Friday night but could not go so a buddy of mine bought them from me and he went with some chick instead. Long story short, I called him up just a short while ago to see if he needed a ride to work tomorrow and we get to shootin the ish and he tells me that Katt Williams literally went crazy at the show. He said he thinks it was a crack meltdown and Katt's entourage had to carry him offstage and he hit some one (maybe his manager my boy said) with a microphone and he kept trying to fight some guy in the audience then started talking poo about the Bay Area and saying how everybody was broke and he got there money anyway. So I just started searching YouTube and apparently there are several videos of it (search: Katt Williams Oracle Arena) and sure enough, dude went insane. Apparently he had a similar incident just a little while ago at a Denver show.

I won't be supporting Katt any longer with my money if he is gonna talk poo to the people that pay him and call them broke, but I hope this man gets some help. I've always been a fan but have lost respect for him over the years since I saw him do a show at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, but I thought what he did there was an isolated thing. As you can see by my avatar I'm a huge fan of the art of standup comedy, but if Katt Williams keeps going this way, he'll be another comedian dead far too soon.

What a talented performer.

[Roger Dorn]

He's the black Dane Cook. Both guys aren't funny.

This isn't even close to the first time Katt's had a meltdown like this. He's fallen WAYYY off since his Pimp Chronicles days. It's pretty sad, really.

Katt was hilarious in his first couple specials

[Kettle]

I tried watching a comedy central special of his once, but it had too much censorship. Even if it weren't beeped, profanity isn't what makes people funny.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Yeah, never thought he was funny.

He's the black Dane Cook. Both guys aren't funny.

dane cook had himself a nice little meltdown earlier this year too:

I did think Katt WAS funny. Been a long time though. Now he's basically an irrelevant psycho

[BBQ&Beer]

The only time I ever went ape poo on students is when a couple of them uttered the words "Dane Cook is way funnier than Richard Pryor." If I had had tenure I would have failed them for excessive stupid.

As far as Kat. He needs to get off that poo.

BTW, Jay Pharoah gave a spot on Katt Williams impression on SNL this weekend:

wonder why this happens to so many comedians

not drugs but meltdowns in general

[Ivan The Awesome]

At least he wasn't fighting a tiiiiiiiiger.

I've never thought he was funny. Then again, my favorite comedian ever is Dave Chappelle so everything pales in comparison. I thought he was corny and his humor felt forced. To me, if you watched him, Chappelle, Tosh, George Lopez, and Aziz Ansari, Katt isn't even in the same area code. No offense to his fans, I've just never found him humorous and part of it may have been his self-aggrandizing ego.
