Famous Comedian Willie Brown!!! We have Hantie, Mom, Dad, Dr. Strout, Mrs. Herbal.

Willie Brown and his wooden sidekick “Woody” aren’t just your average comedian/ventriloquist team. Brown takes a different approach to his age-old craft by making it fresh, new and hip for today’s more savvy comedy audiences. It’s not just about seeing him not moving his lips and hearing Woody speak; “It’s about the jokes,” says Brown.

Willie Brown is a nationally known ventriloquist who has appeared several times on BET Comic View, HBO DEF Comedy Jam, Loco Comedy Jam, Phaturdays, The Jenny Jones Show and most recently in a recurring role on the Showtime Network series, Barbershop. From topics such as the family, church and how to deal with the homeless to current events, Willie Brown and Woody bring it home.

Willie was born in New Haven, CT, where his show business interest began with stage magic. He was inspired by legendary ventriloquist Willie Tyler and Lester from the Motown Revue, along with Jay Johnson who played the team of Chuck and Bob on the hit T.V. sitcom, Soap. Willie entered Hampton University in Virginia, where he would major in Mass Media Arts and perform at fraternity/sorority functions and on military bases. After graduating, he relocated to the Washington, D.C. where he worked alongside Dave Chappelle, Wanda Sykes and Chris Thomas, to name a few.
