ROBIN WILLIAMS – AWARD-WINNING ACTOR AND COMEDIAN TO EMBARK ON HIS FIRST-EVER STAND-UP COMEDY TOUR OF AUSTRALIA!
This November, Robin Williams will bring his critically acclaimed new stand-up comedy tour, entitled “Weapons of Self Destruction”, to Australia. The high-energy show will highlight Williams’ trademark free associations and riffs on social and political absurdities. The show, which toured the US in 2008 and 2009, sold out venues across the country as well as in the UK and Canada and earned the comedian spectacular reviews. Williams last American comedy tour was in 2002 when he returned to the stand-up scene after a sixteen year hiatus.
The sold-out tour earned the distinction of being one of the highest-grossing comedy tours in history and culminated in a final performance filmed by HBO and broadcast live from New York City. The resulting HBO broadcast, Robin Williams: Live on Broadway, was nominated for five Emmy awards.
Williams has more than 40 industry honors to his credit, including four Oscar nominations and one win, two Emmy awards, four Grammys and six Golden Globes, including the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award.
“More than merely a joke teller, the Juilliard-trained actor raises his clever and original observations to comic genius with his use of accents and masterful performing skills. With his sharp intellect and a rapier wit that comes to him as easily as breathing, it’s no wonder Williams has remained one of the most revered comedians for the past 30 years.” – Santa Barbara Independent
