C2Ns' comedian of the month.
Damon Williams
If you have had your nose in the "Doo Doo", let me take the time to
help you: The following will introduce you to one of the hottest young
comedian/actors in the nation--Damon Williams!
Damon gained national notoriety by touring with the "Original Kings of
Comedy" tour. Damon's numerous television appearances include BET's
Comicview annually since '94 including his own one hour special. He's been
featured on BET LIVE and most recently hosted several episodes of the legendary
Showtime at the Apollo formerly hosted by TV star Steve Harvey.
In 1999 Damon
performed for over 300,000 fans as the opening act for the highly successful
Kings of Comedy Tour establishing him as one of the elite Comics in the nation.
Damon was chosen to attend The Us Comedy Arts festival in Aspen Feb 2000. In
the summer of 2000, Damon headlined the Cedric the Entertainer Comedy Revue.
Damon is a crowd favorite on the club and concert circuit and is currently on
the Black Comedy Tour consisting of over 30 colleges and universities.
His
material is universal and there's something for all ages. His popularity has
provided him the opportunity to work with some of the biggest stars in the
business including Aretha Franklin, Patty Labelle, Luther Vandross, Ray
Charles, Harry Belafonte, Chris Rock and even Little Richard. The monthly
comedy shows he produced for the past two years at the House of Blues came
about after one appearance on the Jenny Jones Show. He was contracted to write,
perform, and produce over 50 episodes.
His starring role in the hit musical
comedy tour "Laughin' on the Outside, Cryin' on the Inside" generated
standing ovations for every performance. Finally, Damon continues his weekly
comedy showcase at B'n'J's in Matteson IL and still frequently opens for the
hit sketch comedy team "Forgotten City" at Second City. A star on the
rise, his motto is "Don't Stop and Don't Quit"
Aaron's thought
Damon is the sole person responsible for cultivating the "Chicago"
talent. His show at "All Jokes Aside" in the middle 90's was the
fertile ground that gave comedians on the Black Comedy circuit a reliable place
to practice and cultivate their craft. He's one of the funniest, most polished
and professional comedians in the world. His show in the south Suburbs is still
fertile ground. If your a want to be a comedian in Chicago you have to go
thorough him--Don Damon of the Comedy Cartel.
