Red Dirt Comedy Presents William Lee Martin – Seemed Smart at the Time Tour in Odessa, TX, live at The Ector Theatre, August 22, 2026.

After selling out venues across the U.S. with The Funny Life Tour, Martin is back with a fresh, hilarious take on all the decisions that felt right in the moment — and turned into life lessons later. From marriage and family to money and everyday life, he finds the humor in the choices that define us all.

Known for his Amazon Prime specials, hit Red Dirt Comedy Show on YouTube, and decades of experience on stage, Martin’s storytelling style is heartfelt, relatable, and downright funny. His comedy is clean(ish) — perfect for anyone who loves a laugh without the cringe.

“We’ve all made some not-so-smart choices that looked like genius moves until about five seconds later,” Martin laughs. “It’s about finding the funny in those not-so-smart decisions — because therapy’s expensive.”
