One of America's best known comedians and writers – who began telling jokes when he ran a Chicago sandwich shop – is set to take Birmingham / UK audiences by storm. The multi-talented Damon Williams has maintained to be one of the leading comedians in the US on the stand-up comedy circuit with a universal appeal – BET Live, It's Showtime at the Apollo, Comic Central's Premium Blend, P Diddy's Bad Boys of Comedy, among others.
Damon's popularity and success has enabled him to work with some of the biggest celebrities in the entertainment business to include Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross and Ray Charles.
Be sure to bring a box of tissue and a gas mask, because his delivery of jokes will give you no time to breathe.
His goal is to make you laugh till it hurts. And he surely will. He's considered a "killer" in comedy for his creative and monumental set. He is non-other than Kenny Williams, a former actor from Queens, NY, whose credits include ComicView, Wyclef Jean's The Ecleftic album and LL Cool J's G.O.A.T album.
Kenny's comedy is a set of menagerie characters and call phrases with skits, "Only here for an hour", "Peanuts and Popcorn", "The Super Thug", and "his own language" just to name a few. Kenny will have the audience eating out of the palm of his hand with his energetic and outrageous set.
"His Presence and intelligence make him one of the most brilliant and unpredictable comics in the Country", is what The Sunday Times says about Reginald. He is also one of the few performers to have been nominated for the Perrier Award in three consecutive years – 2002, 2003 and 2004.
The success of his live performances has led Reginald to establish himself on TV comedy shows such as The 11 O'Clock Show, Does Doug Know with Daisy Donovan, Drinking Britain Dry and Comedy Store Stand-up, amongst others.
Reginald may make it look easy, but he never takes the easy option. A true master of comedy!
Lateef Lovejoy is an extremely gifted entertainer, who made his show business debut as a witty 12 year old on ITV's famous morning game show Mousetrap. He has also acted in The Darknight in 2007, a sequel to 2005's Batman Returns.
Lateef has tremendous comedic talent and is one of the most unique and distinctive acts on the comedy circuit, who is vastly gaining the reputation of becoming 'the next big thing'! He is currently performing at the UK's top comedy clubs.
Imran Yusuf is renowned for his stinging, lyrical street-slang verbiage and super-high energy performance that triggers an eruption of belly-aching laughter. Fast and furious yet charmingly endearing, he has a unique voice never heard before.
