Katt Williams Turned Comedy Into A Measurable Competition

Katt Williams says he improved as a comedian by treating comedy as work he could measure and refine, not as a talent he either had or lacked. He tracked how many laughs other comedians earned and set himself the task of beating their counts, while treating rejection as part of the work rather than a verdict. Williams credits repeated testing and performing for different audiences with developing his comedy; separately, he says financing his own specials let him retain control over their production and licensing.
