Clean and blue comedian who has worked with the likes of AMY SCHUMER, TODD BARRY, JOHN REEP, and DUSTY SLAY, for the past 20 years. Can also EMCEE, host TRIVIA, and perform MARRIAGES (not kidding, done 4). I have performed in comedy festivals, as well as appear on BBCAmerica News and CNN. Author.
We've seen Bill at events, and trivia, and follow him where we can. He keeps both his comedy and trivia relevant, and we haven't been let down once. As far as other trivia goes, it's just lame by comparison - a test or quiz you'd expect from a classroom when opposed to the fun game Bill provides.
Bill was hired to host a game show similar to the Newlywed Game and do a 10 - 15 minute audience warm-up at the beginning. Even he admitted that the warm-up was a bomb. The audience didn't receive him well at all. The game show was just a little e better. Thank goodness that the contestants were funny because he was not. He spent a lot of time between questions talking about himself. Lots of self-deprecating jokes. We learned too much about his weight, family, and struggles. This was not needed since the couples gave him material. There was one point in the show where I was really ready to pull him off the stage. There was a Pastor couple in the audience that were contestants in a previous show years before. The Pastor was white and his wife was black. The question to THE COUPLES was " what color does your husband think looks the best on you". After asking the question to the wives, Bill turns to the Pastor and says "I know your answer would be black". NOT OKAY. When the husbands returned and he had to ask the question again, he again turned to the Pastor and said "I know your answer is still black". I later learned from my director that Bill asked him about the racial makeup of the contestants before the show. When my black director said that all of the couples were white, Bill said "oh, a bunch of crackers". Sometimes people try to go too far to "show" that they don't have any biases. Bill made sure that we knew his wife was Asian. He made a few mistakes in the show as well. For the last question he was supposed to ask the bonus question to the couple that had the lowest score and the couple with the highest score would be last. He went to the couple with the highest score before the one with less so when they got it correct, the other couple could not have been the winner so we really knew who won the game before the last couple was even given a chance to answer the question. I would like to add that I sent the script 4 days before the show, he had access t the videos of previous shows as soon as he was hired, I asked him if he had any questions before he went on stage, and he said he was very familiar with the Newlywed game show.
Overall, my team and I did not find him funny or a good fit for the show.
Response from Bill Davis is so Cool:
While I have a different perspective on some of the events of the evening, I can say with absolute confidence that Vernita was very professional, kind, and her staff very helpful. I hope she find someone in the future that’s a better fit.
In addition to being a fantastic comedian, Sweet Billy D is also the best trivia host I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He incorporates his stand up into the trivia effortlessly. He's the only trivia host my friends and I go to, anyone else other than him is just disappointing.
Response from Bill Davis is so Cool:
Wow, Trevor! Thanks so much for your kind words! I really love it when everyone has a great time! Thanks, again!

At a BILL DAVIS performance, audience members and planners can expect a roomful of laughs from a professional comedian.
Professionalism includes showing up on time, keeping to a detailed timeline so the program stays on track, a sober performer who can read an audience and can shift gears if they aren't feeling it.
On top of a customizable performance that easily adapts to the culture of the audience, language and topic guidelines are be strictly adhered to.
As for the fun stuff, a trained improviser, BILL DAVIS is immensely quick-witted and can throw out on-the-spot japes and jokes suggested by the audience.
Topics can include Family, Marriage, Kids, Weight, Catching myself doing ridiculous acts without thinking, and etc. If the audience or the planner wants to lean into it, more adult fare is available.
BILL DAVIS is a veteran Charleston-based standup comedian, who has opened for the likes AMY SCHUMER, TODD BARRY, DUSTY SLAY, and JON REEP. He has performed in Charleston, Charlotte, Chapel Hill, Chicago, and other cities that don't start with a "CH" like Savannah. He also blew his audition at SECOND CITY, so here we are.
A broke, married father of two college students, BILL DAVIS spent 25 years as a state and national award-winning reporter, but discovered that being a writer in a state where no one could read was a TERRIBLE business model.
Regardless, he is still the News Editor at the West Of monthly paper in West Ashley.
He has performed at the CHARLESTON COMEDY FESTIVAL several times, as well as other festivals, and hosts trivia around town because it gets so lonely in the mansion.
BILL DAVIS can do sets that are anywhere from G-RATED all the way up to HOO-BOY, and can tailor time for corporate gigs, which he has done in the past. Birthdays, weddings, corporate, and etc.
Has his own PA system.
In general, I usually only require access to an electrical outlet, an onstage table or chair, and water.
I can bring a PA system sufficient to fill almost any room or hall. If it is an especially large event, I can also supply towers and additional speakers that will put that thumping Oldsmobile next to you in traffic to shame.
Lighting can be arranged at an additional rate, with upfront notice.

People most often liken me to PATTON OSWALT, in part because we have similar voices. Which is odd since I am nearly a foot taller than he is. We're both fat and like flannel?
A lot of the comedians I adore, I can't do what they do, like TIM HEIDECKER, PATTON OSWALT, GEORGE CARLIN, RICHARD PRYOR, MARIA BAMFORD, and others. Since I work from material in my own life, I suppose that makes perfect sense.
