William Lee Martin - The Nutcracker

William Lee Martin’s storytelling approach takes audiences on a journey, leaving them with “favorite routines” more than “favorite punchlines.” Whether he’s proudly talking about his youngest daughter’s designation as “class-clown,” or sharing the twists and turns of his vasectomy, Martin humbly reveals his true self for the sake of a good laugh.

With his signature cowboy hat, boots and Texas drawl, it would be easy to lump the blue-eyed, 6-foot-2-inch Martin into the category of “another guy doing country act.” But don’t be fooled by outward appearances, as his on-stage persona is no act – his middle-America storytelling is as genuine as it gets.

Drawing from real life experiences, Martin’s vibrant routine reflects life as a husband, father and friend. And that authenticity is connecting with mainstream America, crossing culture lines and social status boundaries.
