Walter Latham is often referred to as "The King of Comedy,” for the indelible imprint he has made on the world of urban comedy. Latham changed the comedy landscape when he took urban comedy out of small theaters and into large-scale arenas and stadiums.  His "Kings of Comedy" tour sold out in all major arenas throughout the United States, out-sold all of the Pop and R&B concerts during the same time, and remains one of the largest grossing tours in US history. 

Latham produced the Award-winning “The Original Kings of Comedy” movie along with MTV Films, directed by Spike Lee, and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It became the first urban comedy tour film to top box offices throughout the U.S., and remains second to this day behind Eddie Murphy’s “Raw.”

He later created and produced "The Queens of Comedy," starring Academy-Award winner, Mo'Nique, "The Latin Kings of Comedy," starring George Lopez, and two seasons of HBO’s hit comedy series "P. Diddy Presents the Bad Boys of Comedy."

Latham continues to ink deals with distributors such as Hulu, Facebook, and YouTube and is currently in pre-production on a show for Comedy Central.

Latham is Founder and Chairman of The Walter Latham Foundation, which provides scholarships to underserved children and sponsors youth-oriented events annually.
