A NOTE OF GRATITUDE
From William Lee Martin
Hi Y'all,
My life is shaped by faith, family, and a commitment to chasing my dreams. I met my wife, Michele, at the Loony Bin comedy club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and together, we've built a big, blended family. I have two girls and a boy, and she has two girls. We've navigated the ups and downs of blended family life with love and faith. My Christian faith is still a work in progress, but I’m incredibly grateful for the blessings that have come my way.
​
I live a life full of roles—father, husband, ex-husband, step-dad, comedian, writer, actor, songwriter, screenwriter, podcaster, philanthropist, friend, golfer, cowboy, and gamer. I believe that the more experiences you have, the more meaningful your legacy becomes. My philosophy is simple: go for everything. I put my heart into everything I do, especially when I'm on stage, and I tell young comedians to stop trying to be funny and report the funny. All of our lives are funny, and it’s my job to share those moments.
​
Beyond comedy, I enjoy simple pleasures like Monday afternoon golf outings and driving to gigs instead of flying. I also believe in living life with authenticity—no distractions—and always asking myself, "Am I happy?" That’s the starting point for everything. I know I have more days behind me than ahead, so I wake up every day grateful for the opportunity to chase my dream.
​
And most importantly, I’m deeply grateful to you, the fans. Your smiles, your laughs, your appreciation never goes unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you, and I hope to see you on the road soon!
​
Sincerely,
​
​
