  Nema Williams!

  Nema was born in Kyoto, Japan, and lived in Katmandu, Nepal with his mother. When Nema was 4 years old, he moved to America. His mother, originally from California, picked up residence in Oakland to be closer to her sister. Nema started acting and playing pranks in a youth theater group. One of the directors of a play called "The Boy from New York City" convinced Nema to play the role of "Kenickie", the second lead in Grease. He later landed leading roles in two more performances - Oh, What a Lovely War and A Christmas Carol. Nema’s career really started to take off when he ended up at Dorsey's Locker, a small bar in Oakland, during an open mic comedy show. He stepped right into a spot on BET Comic View and he never looked back. He's appeared on Comic View 8 times, on Cedric the Entertainer's "Starting line up", in addition to "Comic Grove" on Comedy Central, "What Should You Do" on Life Time, "Comic Remix" again on Comedy Central and Sean "Puffy" Combs's "Bad Boys of Comedy" for HBO.
  
  Recently, Nema has gone back to his theater roots on stage in "I Sing 4 Luv", a gospel play, starring Howard Hewett, James Avery, Dawn Lewis and Freda Payne. Besides touring with the Lucky Strike's Tour through Holland and selected cities in Europe, Nema has been able to return to Asia several times entertaining our military troops in Korea and Japan with the USO. .
