Katt Williams Stand-Up Show Ends ... Just as Bloody Brawl Breaks Out
Update
4:25 PM PT -- A representative for Katt Williams tells TMZ ... the show was actually only cut off about five minutes early -- so, the Indianapolis audience didn't miss too much of the show.

Check out the vid ... it's hard to tell, but it certainly looks like there's some movement in the upper regions of the arena as well as a lot of shouting and confusion.
