Jacob Williams's Stand-up Comedian Profile on Rooftop Comedy

Jacob Williams started doing stand-up in college at the age of 18 and has been steadily building a killer act ever since. In 2010 he was named one of the top three comedians from his hometown of Louisville, KY by LEO Magazine. In 2011 Jacob performed on two Showtime comedy specials in Las Vegas, as the opening act for Pauly Shore's Vegas is My Oyster and Nick Cannon's Mr. Showbiz. He has shared the stage with many other stand-up stars as well, including Andy Dick, Tom Green, John Pinette, Whitney Cummings, Jim Jeffries, Robert Kelly and many more.

Jacob now lives in Chicago where he studied improv at the Annoyance Theater and currently tours with stand-up at clubs, colleges and theaters around the United States. His live performances consistently bring audiences into convulsive fits of laughter, thanks to his unique comic voice and incisive dry wit. He recently won the Bob and Tom/Busch Light Comedy Contest and will be appearing on a stop on the Bob and Tom All-Stars Tour in 2011!
