Laugh Factory comedian hands out $100 bills to audience

Last Sunday night comedian Katt Williams handed out about $29,000 in cash to audience members.  According to the Associated Press article released this week, Williams arrived to the Laugh Factory ready to perform his comedy show but with a briefcase full of cash.   The article explained “he hadn’t forgotten his roots and wanted to thank his loyal fans.”  He did so by distributing $100 bills to audience members as he performed his show and comedy act.  “You should have seen it. Some people were crying.  They came to see the show and they got $100,” said Laugh Factory owner, Jamie Masada.

Williams is best known as a comedian, rapper and actor with roles in such films as First Sunday and Norbit.  He was also known for a leading role in Nick Cannon’s MTV show, “Wild n’ Out.”  He has also appeared in a number of music videos and television episodes.

This is a huge chance for both Katt Williams and the Laugh Factory to gain positive media exposure.  Williams’ representatives and publicists should take immediate action to disseminate the information and take advantage of this PR opportunity.  Building on Williams previously established wacky reputation and love for fedora hats and permed hair, publicists should emphasize his outrageous personality and spontaneity.  The Laugh Factory also benefits from such media exposure and should feature Katt Williams again in a show.  There are many ways both Williams and the Laugh Factory could prosper as a result from this wacky $29,000 giveaway.
