Jim Williams

For 20 years, Jim Williams has developed a unique brand of performance by travelling and entertaining people all over the world and in all kinds of environments. He’s performed in theatres, schools, hospitals, elderly care facilities, refugee camps, corporate events, Native American reservations, TEDx events, homeless shelters, television studios, movie sets, orphanages, comedy competitions and festivals, online, and even his own kitchen.
Jim’s stand-up shows are served with a heaping side-order of catharsis. His brutally honest stories often focus on life abroad and his personal adventures as a foreigner in Poland for 13 years: almost dying in the Polish mountains, having bi-lingual kids, visiting the emergency room (four times), being in the semi-finals of Poland’s Got Talent, smoking, quitting smoking, and starting smoking again, and travelling and performing across Europe. Jim also dives head-first into universal topics like parenthood, marriage, mental illness, life, death, and everything in between.
Jim is responsible for starting the English comedy scene in Wroclaw, Krakow, Lodz, and Poznan. He’s toured around central Europe, performed in Russia and The Netherlands (including the Utrecht Comedy Festival). In Poland he’s been on TV several times, including Comedy Central Polska (all performances were in Polish).
