The corner of Main Street and Laurel Street was flooded with a wide array of people coming to see a sold-out show Friday night. The Landmark Theater was packed with cheering fans as comedian Katt Williams danced across the stage to Rick Ross’ hit single “Hustlin.”
The hook played repeatedly as Williams joked about the catchiness of the song, saying “You could be up in Wal-Mart with $7.93 singing ‘everyday I’m hustlin’.”
As the night continued, no topic was off limits for Williams as he poked fun at the war in Iraq, Steve Irwin, drugs, the government, family, relationships and people of all races.
On a more serious note, Williams stresses the importance of being happy with ourselves and respecting one another. Taking a break from his usual ‘pimp’ attire, Katt wore a tuxedo with a bowtie and white sneakers.
Williams treated fans to new material as well as retouched familiar ground by making several references to his popular HBO stand-up special “The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1.”
Williams gave a very energetic performance, which kept the crowd in hysterics. While joking about the crocodile hunter, Williams ran across the stage and tackled a stool on the stage as if it were a wild beast.
After gracing the stage for more than an hour, Williams said his farewells to fans in Richmond, thanking everyone for their support.
“The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 2” tour continues through June with 29 more shows including stops in Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Miami.
Williams will be co-starring in the new MTV improv series, “Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz,” with other members of their previous hit show “Wild N’ Out,” which is set to air this month.
Williams also plans to release a rap album titled “It’s Pimpin Pimpin” through rapper Camron’s Diplomat Records label, which produces some of the biggest names in rap, including Snoop Dogg, Lil’ Jon, Mike Jones and Paul Wall.
