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.

Katt Williams Recalls The Time Harvey Weinstein 'Offered Him 2 Actresses' As If They Were 'Playing Cards'
Katt Williams is bound to make headlines any time he sits down for an interview, and his latest conversation with Theo Von was no exception. The veteran comedian got candid about the unique experiences he's had over the years, revealing a story about the time Harvey Weinstein offered him 'two actresses' as if they were 'playing cards.' About two hours into the lengthy conversation, the First Sunday actor explained his thoughts about entertainers allegedly 'compromising themselves sexually for entertainment.' Weinstein's name was brought up when speaking in terms of what to 'look out for,' and Williams shared a brief story. 'Most of the stuff I wouldn't have believed until I had to get to a certain level to get to see the proof,' Williams said. 'I was as shocked as anybody about how powerful Harvey Weinstein was at the time that I was meeting with him and how he could not be told no, that he gets whatever he wants. You follow what I'm saying? And I thought that didn't apply to me because I don't care about nothing… And then he offered me two actresses like they was playing cards. I was like, what?' Elsewhere in the conversation, the two also touched on the comedian's lifestyle. He claimed that 'the ladies keep me fit' and he's 'pretty heavy in sexual relations.' As far as his wellness routine goes, he mentioned a cold plunge, a jacuzzi, and a sauna, which he does 'pretty ritualistically.' The conversation also got political, with the Dark Matter Tour host providing his point of view of how the 2024 election went down. 'It ain't Black men that let Kamala down. It was everybody the f**k else. Nobody voted for this b**ch,' Williams said. 'Women don't vote for her. Indians didn't vote for her. Jews didn't vote for her. She married a Jew, and they did not vote for her,' he continued. 'B**ches that wanted an abortion didn't vote for her. It was sad. Sad, sad, sad. They say that Katt Williams got more votes and I wasn't even running. They said they just wrote me in. I don't know.' View the full interview above.
