Katt Williams is one of the most prolific stand-up comedians to ever hit the stage. He’s had so much success in his professional life, and he shows no signs of stopping. To celebrate this man’s incredible, 30-year-long career, I went ahead and compiled the 22 best Katt Williams quotes that I could find.
What I personally love about Katt, and part of the reason I chose to do this article, is the fact that he is so resilient. He’s been in the business for so long, yet he manages to come up with new and fresh material all the time. Also, his crowd work specials never fail to make me laugh, and The Pimp Chronicles are my absolute favorite.
