Washington, DC theatre and comedy fans have reason to celebrate as Emmy Award-winning comedian Katt Williams announced he's bringing his highly anticipated Katt Williams: Golden Age Tour to Capital One Arena on Sunday, February 15, 2026.

The tour launches in January 2026 and represents Williams' return to the arena circuit following a series of sold-out performances throughout 2025. For DC audiences, this marks a chance to see Williams during what many are calling the peak of his already legendary career. The tour is being produced by North American Entertainment Group and will hit over 25 major cities across North America.

Williams has spent more than two decades establishing himself as a comedic force unlike any other. His style blends sharp political commentary with incisive social observations, delivered with a commanding stage presence that keeps audiences riveted from start to finish. The Washington, DC stop comes sandwiched between performances in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, positioning the Capital One Arena show as a centerpiece of the tour's mid-February run through the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

The timing is particularly opportune for Williams, whose Netflix special "Woke Foke" became the most-watched comedy special on the platform in 2024, accumulating over 13.1 million views. That success followed his viral appearance on Shannon Sharpe's podcast "Club Shay Shay," which generated massive buzz throughout the entertainment industry and reminded audiences why Williams remains one of comedy's most compelling voices. His ability to balance entertainment with thought-provoking commentary has earned him comparisons to the genre's all-time greats.

The comedian's extensive filmography includes memorable roles in "Friday After Next," "Norbit," and "Scary Movie V," but he earned particular critical acclaim for his guest appearance on the series "Atlanta," which won him a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series. That recognition from the Television Academy validated what comedy fans have known for years: Williams is not just a comedian but a complete entertainer with remarkable range and depth.

For DC residents, the Capital One Arena show offers an opportunity to experience Williams in his element. The venue's downtown location makes it easily accessible via Metro, with the Gallery Place-Chinatown station just steps away. The 20,000-seat arena has hosted countless comedy legends over the years, but Williams' particular brand of high-energy performance seems tailor-made for the space. His ability to command large venues while maintaining an intimate connection with audiences has become one of his defining characteristics.

Tickets for The Golden Age Tour go on presale starting Monday, October 20 with general public sales beginning Wednesday, October 22 through Ticketmaster. Given Williams' track record of selling out arenas and the momentum following his recent Netflix success, DC comedy fans are advised not to wait when securing seats for what promises to be one of the most talked-about live comedy events of 2026.

The February 15 show gives Washington audiences a rare chance to see Williams during what he's calling his "golden age," a period marked by creative confidence and the kind of artistic maturity that comes from decades of honing one's craft. As Williams continues to push boundaries and challenge audiences to think while they laugh, his Capital One Arena performance represents more than just another tour stop. It's an event that captures a legendary comedian at the height of his powers, bringing fresh material and his signature intensity to the nation's capital.

With comedy increasingly serving as both entertainment and cultural commentary, Williams arrives in DC at a moment when audiences crave the kind of fearless, intelligent humor he's known for delivering. Whether you're a longtime fan who's followed his career since his early days or someone who discovered him through his recent viral moments, The Golden Age Tour stop at Capital One Arena offers an unmissable opportunity to witness one of comedy's most dynamic performers live on stage.
