Black comedians, Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, Martin Lawrence, Richard Pryor

We've all read about the mental stress that being a comedian obviously has on a person's life off stage. We all know the pain experienced by the legendary Richard Pryor and most recently the challenges faced by both Martin Lawrence and Dave Chappelle.

Following an arduous 300 shows and an 18-month touring schedule that left him incredibly fatigued, Katt felt compelled to be with his family in an effort to deal with his stress. While doing so, he is under a doctor’s care.

As this is a private and personal matter, we hope the media will respect his family’s request for privacy.

I'm on a Katt Williams Support Campaign. All we need is an influx of letters of support to his management staff. I've contacted local and all facets of entertainment to chip in. Jay Leno, Conan, The View ladies, KTLA, Big Boy, MoJo, Ben's Chili Bowl in D.C. (Katt visit's them when he was there - check the latest DVD), and countless radio personnel.

HELP!!

Thank you!!
