Best Comedy & Stand-up This Winter

in Houston

Katt Williams at NRG Arena

Katt Williams

Williams' sharply tuned mind is unafraid to tackle any topic, no matter how awkward it may seem. From first taking to the stage as a teenager with his thought-provoking (and hilarious) social commentary, William now boasts over 20 years in the 'biz. Known for covering topics like the war on drugs, truth and lies and even the chicken wing shortage, in his brand new tour 'Dark' Matter', who knows what Williams' will joke about!

Martin Lawrence at Toyota Center

Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence, the original Bad Boy of comedy, is gearing up for the release of his long-awaited sequel 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' with Will Smith, set for general release in summer 2024. But the actor/comedian/singer isn't resting on his laurels until that happy day, as he's hitting the road this year for the 'Y'all Know What It Is! Tour,' his first tour in 8 years. Outspoken on subjects such as relationships, family, and vocal opposition to police brutality, Lawrence's raw style shows no sign of mellowing as we head into the new year. Be warned - this comic takes no prisoners at his shows!

Godfrey at The Improv

Godfrey

Chicago-native Godfrey is one of the funniest and hardest working comedians on the American stand-up circuit.

He's sweet, he's juicy, he's Sheng Wang, and he's headed out on tour this year across North America. The hilarious comic focuses on the average everyday things, and the absurdities behind them. Relatable, laid back, wears pants from Costco, what's not to love? He's been selling out shows all around the country, so grab your tickets and don't miss out!

Drunk Shakespeare at The Emerald Theatre

Drunk Shakespeare

Take a journey to a mysterious hidden venue where mayhem awaits! Enter through a secret door and discover a glam cocktail bar and library where the infamous Drunk Shakespeare Society are ready to perform! But the main event really begins when one actor takes to the stage after at least five shots of whiskey and attempts to perform an entire play by William Shakespeare. No two shows are the same, four sober actors must try and keep the script going whilst one actor tackles the script through blurred vision and slurred words.
