Willie 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, how to deal with the homeless, to current events, Willie Brown and Woody (his wooden partner) bring it home. Willie Brown and Woody now perform largely at churches, theaters, colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events.
