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.
