1.0 out of 5 stars Kattpacalypse: Worst Stand-up Ever October 5, 2012

By Sweets4dasweet

I am a huge Katt Williams' fan. I get the reviewers who want to support him regardless. So for those who gave this a huge mark, I salute you. But, in this HERE economy, I do not have money to waste on mess. Luckily, I saw this on Showtime.

I was VERY excited about Kattpacalypse. I find Katt to be hysterical, poignant and VERY insightful. The man will have you in TEARS. His confidence was something to be admired. And - I hate to admit it - but that made him a wee bit sexy. Katt's hair has always been on point and it's clear that he's going to come out fresh and clean.

This time? No ma'am. The child ran his little behind up on the stage looking like the lost munchkin from "The Wizard of Oz." I just knew he was going to drop a scroll and sing a verse of "We represent, the pimpified kids." So that was sign #1. His little bow tie was all cocked to the side. And he came OUT sweating. Not sure what kind of drugs he was on, but they certainly were NOT quality. The day where Katt Williams does not care about his looks, is the day we can hang up our hats. He went to the stage looking as if he expected the world to blow to smithereens at the very end of his set.

If you're like me and you don't want to see someone you admire lose it all before your very eyes, then I'd encourage you to skip this one and pray for the man. I felt more sympathy for him. The entire time I cringed and just felt awkward and sad. The first two times I tried to watch this, I fell asleep. I then felt I owed him that much to AT LEAST see it to the end. Honestly, I don't care about his stances towards homosexuality, evolution and politics. I just miss that he used to deliver his stances with a smooth swagger and in a way that made you think. I never expect my beliefs to be swayed by a standup set.... So I care NOT what they think.

This performance was preachy, ignorant, low budget, and just overall SAD. Even when the camera panned into the audience, it would be on one person who was laughing surrounded by others who realized they just wasted their money AND New Years. My husband almost bought tickets for his show when it comes to our city, but we BOTH thank God we dodged that uncomfortable bullet.

I wish that those who truly care about Katt and are in his life help him overcome his demons. Get him out of the spotlight for a while so he can get better and go back to being the best in the game. My number one fear for him is that THIS performance is what kills his career. If he comes out with another one, I will cautiously watch it. But, I hope that this performance is the sign he needs to straighten up. LYING and saying this was good is not helping him NOR our fellow buyers looking for an HONEST review.

I'd recommend you buy this if - and only if - you just want to support the man. But, I'd STILL say don't watch it. The closest situation I can think of is how hard it was to watch Whitney Houston ATTEMPT to sing "I Will Always Love You" in the more recent years. You want to remember her as she was, the very top of her game. And when you hear her sing for the first time in years, the hard truth sinks in that the Whitney we once knew was no longer. Then we lost her, which was devastating. I'm saying, I TRULY see Katt heading down this same path. I just hope someone gets to him before he's too far gone and drugs don't ravage his greatness.

3.0 out of 5 stars Katt's Celebratory Return Grows Progressively More Maudlin As The Evening Wears On September 8, 2012

By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER

After a significant break, Katt Williams returned to the stage in this gala event on New Year's Eve 2011 at the packed Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. "Kattpacalypse" is the one hour special that captures this set. It begins with Williams' triumphant entrance that sends the 7000 plus members of the audience into a frenzy and it ends with the ringing in of 2012. Williams starts out like a powerhouse, full of energy and swagger. But as the hour progresses, he seems to get increasingly introspective, angry, and intimate. Williams has certainly seen his share of hard times, and I'd love to hear his story, his views and his perspective on what he's been through. But perhaps this big celebration was not the place. I think that he wanted to be personal and thankful, but the apparent bitterness and the lack of humor at the end of this set made me a little uncomfortable. This may not be your reaction, but I found "Kattpacalypse" to be unexpectedly awkward.

I won't say that most of the concert wasn't edgy and aggressively funny, it was. Williams attacks the racial divide throughout, highlighting some funny stereotypes with almost every punchline. He tackles broad subjects including religion, the apocalypse, and politics with the extended opening bit being about Obama's presidency. And, for the most part, his jokes land. He works the stage like a maniac, throwing himself around, sliding, and executing some great physical comedy. The immense crowd absolutely loves him and it's hard not to be enthusiastic about seeing him perform again. But after about three really solid bits, the show starts to slow down significantly. Near the last quarter, he seems to have run out of designated material and begins to address the audience in a more personal way.... At first, I didn't begrudge this bit of intimacy but it becomes increasingly out-of-place. Just as people want to celebrate midnight, Williams has brought down the energy and enthusiasm with this segment of angry contemplation. Overall, this is mostly a solid concert set. Good on Williams and welcome back! I just wished things would have stayed triumphant and jubilant and funny! KGHarris, 9/12. Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously disappointed!!! September 23, 2012

By AB

I've been a Katt Willaims fan for a while and I was stoked when I saw a new special for him pop up. I decided to rent it and show it to a few friends who had never seen Katt before. It quickly turned into a nightmare however when Katt began attacking gays, anyone who's not a christian, and making claims that evolution was a joke because there are still monkeys... Clearly Katt, you don't really know how evolution works.

We continued to watch but it progressed into a train wreck. You can clearly see some members of the audience in this aren't on board either. I'm not sure where Katt was coming from in this and found it rather awkward and some what embarrassing. I wasn't aware of all the issues with the law Katt has been having in his personal life, but his anger and rage clearly comes out on stage here. This is not a normal Katt Willaims show so beware.

1.0 out of 5 stars A downright Kattastrophe September 23, 2012

By donna

To say that Kattpacalypse was a disappointment would be putting it mildly. Anyone who is expecting the irreverent and outrageous wit that we enjoyed in his earlier comedy specials are in for a big let down. While the beginning could have almost been considered mildly funny, it still wasn't up to par with even the most rookie comedians on tv today. By the end, he seemed to be on the verge of a complete meltdown. Maybe I was so sorely disappointed because this wasn't at all what I was expecting from a Katt Williams show and didn't know about all the arrests and crazy things going on in his personal life (which he goes into some detail about). I was just excited when I had the opportunity to watch a Katt Williams comedy special that I hadn't seen before. Apparently Katt is in the process of a downward spiral and it definitely shows in his performance. He doesn't have same stage presence, his delivery is off, his jokes were more deliberately offensive than irreverently funny. He repeatedly went off on rants about God and Satan and the end of the world that were only humorous in a "watching a celebrity train wreck" kind of way. There was some kind of awkward rant about Michael Jackson that never really went anywhere, at least not anywhere close to making me laugh. Worst of all, he did this whole bit about how God destroyed homosexuals in Sodom and Gomorrah which I found absolutely repulsive. He spent the entire show running maniacally around the stage sweating. The whole performance was awkward and uncomfortable and so far from the level of comedy anyone would expect from a comedian of Katt Williams standard. I hope he pulls it together because Katt was one of the best.
