Philosophical, Piano-Playing
Comedian
“Talent, talented and more talent” is how the CBS news series ‘48
hours’ has described Billy D. Washington.
Billy D. Washington is a witty, philosophical,
piano-playing comedian, who works as a nationally recognized headliner. “It’s
weird” Billy muses in a recent newspaper article, “After
my shows even though people have laughed their hearts out all night,
they ask me why am I not doing something else”?
Billy D. Washington is not only talented musically,
he possesses an incredible ability to create cleverly constructed jokes
and improvise obscure audience situations. After an hour of this poetic
and intelligent banter, people often wonder why they haven’t heard
more of him. He is quietly one of the most sought after comedians in
the country, if you don’t believe it ask Aretha Franklin.
After opening one of her concerts in November
2000, Aretha was so impressed that she requested Billy D. Washington
to do tour dates from that day forward, he has been the opening act for
Aretha Franklin every since.
Do you ever watch VH-1? In 1998 after several stimulating comedy sets
at HBO’s Aspen Comedy Festival, Billy was hired by the music video
network to host several of their programs. These programs included, The
Michael Jackson Music Video Collection, The History of Music Video A-Z
and a daily slot hosting a video music show.
Thirty Thousand plus, is the number of people
that see Billy D. Washington perform yearly. Twelve, is the number of
national television appearances he can claim (HBO, Fox, NBC, CBS). Two
is his number of International television appearances (BBS- The Montreal
Comedy Festival Gala). Zero, the number of unsatisfied audience members.
