Cincinnati-born and Dayton-raised Micah “Katt” Williams will be honored with a street named after him in Cincinnati’s Avondale neighborhood. At 5:30 Saturday, the intersection of Reading Road and Maple Avenue will be renamed Katt Williams Way. At 8 pm, he will take the stage at Heritage Bank Center as part of his “Heaven on Earth” tour.

Williams was born in Cincinnati in 1971 and moved to Dayton with his Jehovah’s Witness parents. During that time, he learned multiple languages, including Creole and French, and he lived in Haiti for 18 months as part of religious missions. Williams emancipated himself from his parents at 13, then moved to Florida and supported himself as a street vendor.

Williams has found success through his stand-up comedy, acting, and music career. Although he has faced many legal issues, he has continued with his career and received an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his appearance on the show Atlanta. His “Heaven on Earth” comedy tour has dates across the US through November.
