City, State: new york ny Website: www.spalabnyc.com Comments: I am not a professional critic, but I know when something is good and worthwhile. I was completely blown away with Richard's performance on Christmas Eve. At times, I forgot it was actually Richard on stage, I really thought it was Carol Channing performing and singing. I thought, how nice of Carol to entertain us tonight! It was a walk down memory lane as Carol told us stories of her career and sang song from her shows. Carol had the entire audience involved with the show. Some people got gifts, some got new husbands, one got to dance, and we all got to sing. I Honestly felt like I was at a friends house for an intimate get-together. Go see this show... you will really like it. Larry Costa, www.spalabnyc.com

City, State: New York, New York Website: www.marketing doctor.tv Comments: Richard Skipper IS Carol Channing. His talent both as a singer and Carol Channing interpreter makes the show a must see for the professional theater goer as well as entertainment seeking individual public. He is the ultimate performer who understands his audience knows what they want and then delivers a product that they love. I highly recommend seeing this at least once if not more because no two shows are exactly alike. This is what makes Mr. Skipper a true brand original. Ms Channing should be deeply proud for such a beautiful tribute to this American treasure and icon. A must see! John Tantillo, The Marketing Doctor.

This is not a small compliment, Larry has seen Ethel Merman on Broadway, Barbra Streisand, and Judy Garland "live" three times. Larry knows theater and could not stop raving about the way you reworked the show and of course your amazing ability to improvise with the audience. Congratulations!

City, State: New York, NY Website: www.pjrileystudio.com Comments: Richard's performance called to mind the words: Ardor, dedication, enthusiasm and integrity. I came to see his "Carol", as a friend and because I'd never seen it on stage before. But I left with a greater sense of my own humanity and an even greater love of theatre, which is Richard's amazing gift to the world. I think his powerful talent and respect for Carol Channing allows him to mesmerize the audience with not only her charm, but moreover his own. If I could I would carry a sandwich sign over my back to tell the theatre community..."NOT TO MISS HIS MAGICAL PERFORMANCE". Don't you miss him either! Paula (PJ) Riley |
