Troubled comedian Katt Williams is hanging up the microphone for good after a slew of criminal charges and public disputes have reportedly pushed him to the edge.

Williams announced his unexpected decision following a Seattle, Washington incident.

"I'm just gonna go ahead and announce my retirement from stand-up," Williams said in an interview. "I'm kinda done. This is, yeah, I've already discussed it with my kids. I wasn't really gonna do it on a Seattle street, I was gonna go to Los Angeles and do it in the offices of ICM or Live Nation." (KOMO)
