Katt Williams Announces Two Surprise Shows For Portland Thursday

PORTLAND, OR – Maybe Katt Williams liked the food at the Multnomah County Jail. Whatever the reason, the comedian is coming back to Portland to play two surprise shows at Roseland on Thursday.

Williams had come to the Rose City to be part of Nick Cannon's "Wild 'N Out" show at the Moda Center.

According to Portland Police, Williams got into an altercation with a driver that was supposed to drive him to Moda. While Williams played the show, he was arrested the next day.

Williams is also being sued by that driver. The suit was filed hours after Williams had appeared in court where he pleaded not guilty.

The shows at the Roseland Theater, which were announced on Wednesday afternoon, are at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.. The first show is billed as "Ladies Night!" The late show is, simply, The Late Show.

Williams, 47, won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series last month for his work on the show, Atlanta.

The comedian has had several run-ins with the law on assault charges over the years and has been ordered to attend anger management classes.
