Katt Williams' comedy tour will stop at Target Center
Katt Williams is bringing his "Heaven on Earth" tour to Minneapolis with an Oct. 24 stop at the Target Center, the comedian announced on Friday. While Williams appeared in dozens of movies — Friday After Next, First Sunday, and, most recently, One of Them Days — he's primarily carved out a powerful place in the comedy world through his acerbic stand-up. Williams made headlines in 2024 during a podcast appearance where he alleged Cedric the Entertainer stole one of his jokes and that Kevin Hart had taken movie roles from him. He also leveled criticism at Chris Tucker and Steve Harvey during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, which prompted months of rebuttals and discussion. That controversy preceded the release of his third Netflix comedy special, Woke Foke, which was released in May 2024. That special arrived just weeks after Williams' last performance in Minnesota, which also took place at the Target Center. Tickets for the comedian's Target Center gig go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 11.
