We Own The Laughs w/ Tyson Paul Feat. Tacarra Williams [Episode 6]

In episode 6 of We Own The Laughs w/ Tyson Paul, Los Angeles comedian Tacarra Williams sits down with Tyson as they talk about how a break-up led to her start in stand-up comedy, being married and divorcing a comedian, how some comedians in Los Angeles wanted her kicked off of shows for being “Too Sexy”, being the runner-up on NBC’s Bring The Funny, but feeling like she won, learning how to separate comedy and relationships from her boyfriend, the greatest night of her life with Dave Chappelle/Donnell Rawlings/Drake/John Mayer and how comedy with social media will affect the industry for the next few years. Williams also gives us some of her hilarious comedy preferences. Filmed by Rickey Bird Jr. of Hectic Films.

Tacarra Williams is the consummate hyphenate–school teacher, plus-sized model, motivational speaker, and fearless writer. Known throughout the comedy industry as at “The Beautiful Beast,” from the moment she picks up the microphone, until the time she walks off stage, audiences can feel the laughter erupt–using her hard-won wisdom learned from the streets of NYC, her experience as a young mother, and her most recent endeavor as a Life Skills coach to inmates in the largest jail system in American, Tacarra dares to be the voice for every woman…never afraid to say what is on everyone’s mind, refusing to bow down to the prejudiced opinions of men Tacarra’s attitude towards female empowerment has earned her respect and love from women throughout the country.   Opening for the likes of Tony Rock, Deray Davis, and Bill Bellamy, her talent and wit cannot be denied. Having recently been featured on NBC’s Bring the Funny, Tacarra Williams has been described as “fearless” and “unapologetically honest.” As she pursues her dream of being a full-time comic, she has hit every major stage in New York and Hollywood, CA., including Carolines, Broadway Comedy Club, Apollo Theatre, Hollywood Improv, The Comedy Store, Russell Simmons’ All Def Digital, and The Laugh Factory.  Her 30 min Comedy special, produced by Kevin Hart, has been featured on Comedy Central. If you think that’s notoriety, Tacarra is the only female in the history of the Shaq Comedy All-Star Competition to make it to the finals, and she is the very first Female host for Chocolate Sundaes at the Laugh Factory.
