The infamous Nathaniel Williams is an amazing comic with a story to tell. In the start of his career he began by hitting stages in Memphis, Fort Smith, Houston, Dallas, Mississippi, Little Rock, and North Little Rock. Although he was new on the scene, he believed in himself and his ability to make others laugh. He believes in the saying that “laughter is medicine for the soul”. He has performed at church events and college functions. He started out on the scene in a little spot called The Loony Bin Comedy Club, where he participated in a comedy competition and made it to the finials. Although he did not win the comedy competition he knew he had the ability to win people over with his sense of humor. Nathaniel entered into another comedy competition a month later in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where comedians were eliminated or moved to the next round based on crowd participation. Nathaniel was in a room of 300 plus strangers, where he told his comedy life story on stage and was pushed all the way into the finals. Three rounds of comedians battled for laughs but Nathaniel reigned victory over the 16 comedians and won his first comedy competition. He was also noted as a favorite to watch in Fort Smith, Arkansas. After winning and hitting more stages while getting better, Nathaniel landed a hosting opportunity at a local club for a comedian from BET’s Comic View, Mr. Doo Doo Brown entitled “Soultary Sundays”. This was a major shift in his comedy career. Nathaniel was also given the opportunity to open for Psalmist Vicki Winans at a gospel concert held in Little Rock, Arkansas. He’s also shared the stage twice with a legend of comedy Tommy Davidson, Chris Porter from “Last Comic Standing”, and Robert Powell from Shaq All-Star Comedy Jam to name a few. He has hosted at the Looney Bin Comedy Club and performed at Casinos and other locations featuring and opening at different shows. Nathaniel Williams loves talking about his family and relationship problems along with his troubles in school. His stories have twists and turns that always leaves the audience wanting more. Nathaniel made history being the first African American comedian to perform in “The Ribroom” in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Making fans of all ages, races and genders Nathaniel Williams is more than everyday comedian. He was born for greatness.
