Kat Williams Refunds Audience



Katt Williams refunded an entire audience their money after bombing during a New Year's Eve show - and after the show, he came out and explained to Chicago’s Power 92 host Kendra G.

The 34-year-old comedian — who’s starring alongside Ice Cube in David E. Talbert’s "First Sunday" and is one of the most sought-after comedians walking right now — debuted new material at Arie Crown Theater, after showing up an hour and a half late, the radio host reportedly said. Apparently, a woman in the audience blurted out she wanted a refund, and Katt didn’t oppose.

After the show, he spoke to Kendra G about the fiasco.

Kendra G: Your first show in Chicago, you gave the whole audience their money back ... Why did you do that?

Katt Williams: Same reason they gave it to me in the first place. They gave it to me right?

Kendra G: So you do that often? Where you just say, "Hey, you know what audience, you guys can walk away with your money, I don’t need it."

Katt Williams: I never did it before ... Now would be the time I would be coming to grips with it but I’m talking to you. Everybody else thinks it’s pretty dumb, all my people ... You’re talking about giving $30,000 [back].

Kendra G: But what inspired to give the whole audience their money back?

Katt Williams: Because somebody said they couldn’t hear. So for people to say they couldn’t hear all the way through is not tolerable. People spent hard money.
