William Lee Martin brings his Comedy Stampede Tour to the Cactus Theater on Saturday, March 18, 2023.

Martin is a story-telling, stand-up comedian who wants to make you laugh after a long day. He’s a regular at the Grand Ole Opry and the MGM in Las Vegas and has been touring since 1996.

“The Texas Original” sells out venues around the country. He has three, 1-hour comedy television specials including “Standing in the Middle” and “The Nutcracker: A Christmas Special Based On His Vasectomy” which are currently streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV and the Comedy Dynamics Network. During the 2020 pandemic, his following on social media exploded with his positive and upbeat “4 o’clock Daily Talk” on Facebook and other platforms.

He works relatively clean but disarmingly clever (although it may not be suitable for younger audiences). He resonates with people because he looks, talks and acts like a huge demographic of this country – without having an agenda, being negative or complaining about things. Family and friends still affectionately call him by his nickname, “Cowboy Bill.”
