TEXAS-BOUND ACTOR PRESENTS MULTI-CHARACTER SHOW AT THE DUPLEX

Texas-bred actor/comedian, Paul J. Williams, will be performing his six-character show, DISHING IT OUT, for two "going away" performances before re-locating to Texas. DISHING IT OUT will be presented at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/) on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm on May 21st & 28th. Paul has long been known not only for his great comedic timing, but also his ability to create recognizable characters as a part of his show. In keeping with that tradition and the inspiration of Paulês comedy "idol," Lily Tomlin, DISHING IT OUT is completely character driven, with Paul playing numerous personas throughout the entire show. Tickets are $12.00 with a 2-drink minimum.

Directed by fellow Southerner, Jay Rogers, original cast member of WHEN PIGS FLY, the show takes place in a Texas cafeteria. The central character is a food server who seems to know everybody who comes through her line, and inevitably, each of these people become the other characters in the show, as we get a glimpse into the daily goings on of the lunchtime patrons of this Southern gathering place. From a chain smoking real estate agent to a narrow-minded preacher (and others in between), DISHING IT OUT is a one-man tour de force capitalizing on Paulês hilarious creativity and improv abilities, as the audience becomes patrons in the cafeteria as well, interacting with the characters on stage. Whether dishing out chicken fried steak, juicy gossip, or words of wit and wisdom, DISHING IT OUT has a hearty appetite for fun and laughter for the whole family.

Paul has had numerous successes in New York, having had two very successful runs of his cabaret show LEFT, OUT, ... AND NOT RIGHT! at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/), which has garnered him a three-time nomination by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) as Outstanding Male Comic. In addition, he has performed at every comedy club in the city, as well as appearing at comedy festivals across the USA. DISHING IT OUT had its New York premiere last summer as a part of the HOT Festival at Dixon Place. After six years in New York, Paul is soon relocating to Dallas to continue his work in theater and comedy.
