Katt Williams: The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1

OMG!!! I wished I'd had cable when this came out in September on HBO.

Thank God for Netflix and no late fees! I've seen this show so many times, and laughed so hard, that EVERY time I see it, I catch something I missed before from laughing so hard! And I kept the DVD until my order from Amazon came in cuz I didn't want to spend a day without the preachings from Pimp Chronicles, Pt. 1.

And of course I will see him when he comes to town with Pimp Chronicles Pt. 2!!! If you loved Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy's stand up, you gotta see Pimp Chronicles, Pt. 1!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love to laugh and this is a definite must have for anyone that loves raw comedy at its best!

Before watching this special, I had only seen Katt Williams in Friday After Next, where he played a pimp (a "profession" Williams practiced before his comedy career blew off).

The Pimp Chronicles pt. 1 is probably one of the funniest specials I've seen in years. Chappelle's San Fransisco special was probably better, but this comes in at a good second place.

Williams is a breath of fresh air in his timing alone, even though the themes are not as original - ranging from weed to ladies. It doesn't matter, at all. This guy is just funny in anything he says or does. These 45 minutes fly by way too quickly, and I seriously hope Williams will continue putting out great comedy in the years to come.

9/10 - You're one funny pimp, Katt.

When a friend recommended I watch this, I couldn't even think who Kat Williams was, until he said the Pimp on Friday After Next. Now I'm thinking OK, we'll see. Wow that was excellent! Oh my God, I never laughed so hard in my life. I've been to the comedy connection in Laurel, seen Mike Epp on HBO, Cedric, all of them. I love comedy! I need more Katt. We had to pause it to get it together to laugh some more. I think I may have sweat my perm out laughing at this fool. Sexy and talented!! I love me some Katt Williams. I can't wait to see the Pimp Chronicles II and already ordered my Kat Williams Live on DVD on amazon.com.

With the hilarious combination of his voice, his appearance, his gift for physical comedy and his razor-sharp wit, the man goes straight to the heart of comedy and stays there the entire time.

I'm not typically fond of comedians who overuse profanity and slurs, but Katt Williams is one of very few comics in America who uses them well. To perfection actually...

I also really love the rhythmic style of his delivery.

And his bit on "weed" was probably the funniest i've even heard on the subject!

Kat Williams is the new Richard Pryor, except to me, Williams is even funnier. Two thumbs way up!

Katt Williams was introduced by Anthony Anderson. This was back when Anthony was a little bit bigger boned. Katt walked on stage with about four women while he wore an oversized fur coat and a Fedora with a goblet in his hand. He very much embodied the stereotypical image of a pimp.

He did a forty minute set touching on many things. His funniest jokes were about needed white friends, Black friends, and Latino friends. He gave some time to current affairs, namely Martha Stewart and Lil' Kim going to prison and Michael Jackson not going to prison. Then he really went in on Michael Jackson. It was funny, fun, and concise which kept the jokes strong and the people laughing.
