Comedian William Lee Martin - Miami, OK
Coleman Theatre
Friday, October 17, 2025
Show: 7:00PM
Get ready to laugh till your cheeks hurt! William Lee Martin delivers the kind of comedy that feels like hanging out with one of your funniest, most genuine friends. Raised in Texas, he performed under his lifelong nickname, "Cowboy Bill," for 20 years before returning to his real name in 2016. Every night, he takes real-life moments—marriage, parenting, and all the chaos in between—and turns them into hilarious, relatable stories.
With four hit comedy specials, including two currently streaming on Amazon Prime and a brand-new one on YouTube, William’s heartfelt humor and clever wit have won over fans across the country.
This year he’s hitting the road for his Funny Life Tour, an epic one-man show that proves life’s chaos is way funnier when you embrace it. Don’t miss the chance to see William live—it’s more than a comedy show; it’s a night you’ll be talking about for weeks!
Life is funnier with William Lee Martin. Live. Laugh. Repeat.
