About Paul J. Williams

High School in South Texas was not kind to Paul. As a “creative” teenager, he was in band, choir AND drama. Wimp. Nerd. Fag. To counter the endless teasing and name-calling, Paul learned early on to always have the last word. Eventually, this defense mechanism developed into a very quick wit, which came in handy as he endured four repressive years of college at the largest Southern Baptist University in the world in Waco, TX. Now, years later, he has honed a sense of humor that has served him well as one of the smartest and funniest comics working today.

Originally planning to make his way through the management ranks of a major department store after college, he soon realized that his passion was to be a performer, whether as a singer or actor, and he left his retail career to pursue his dreams. Comedy came into the picture during a Dallas community theater production when the director persuaded Paul and two other cast members to form a comedy / improv group. Calling themselves LESS MISERABLE, the trio became a huge success and performed in Los Angeles, New York and Provincetown, as well as garnering a huge hometown following in Dallas for six years.

Now out on his own for nine years, he left Texas for New York in 1997 where he performed his one-man show, LEFT, OUT, AND NOT RIGHT! on three separate occasions, and was nominated for a Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) Award as Outstanding Male Comic, in 2000, 2001 and 2002. A new show, DISHING IT OUT, is a one-man tour de force in which Paul portrays six different characters all interacting in one afternoon in a Southern cafeteria. DISHING IT OUT has been performed to rave reviews. Paul’s humor draws on his family, his experiences as a single male, and his political and social observations of the world around him.

Witty, cerebral, and always just a little warped, Paul J. Williams is out to make you laugh!
