Williams has been performing for over 20 years, according to the release, which said he has “earned a worldwide reputation as one of today’s top entertainers, having developed a career seeded with thousands of sold-out arenas, an expansive list of starring roles on the small screen and memorable performances in box office hits.”

The release said Williams began performing standup as a teenager and has a unique style of standup that combines “articulate and sharp dialogue rooted in conversations reflecting the American political landscape.”

Williams earned a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on “Atlanta” in 2018.

Hartford will be the last stop of Williams’ “Heaven on Earth Tour,” which will visit 19 American cities next winter and spring.
