City, State: NYC Comments: It was great to see Richard Skipper perform last night at Tudor City Greens AND The Iguana. He is the perfect host and has proven he is a great host anywhere. We can't wait to see his show in July. I'm getting some others to join us. Oh...and a friend of ours in California just LOVES him. She sees the reviews and testimonials and thinks he is pretty classy. We hope they will be out here in the fall and she can't wait to meet him. Mary Lahti
City, State: New York, New York Website: none Comments: I had the privilege of seeing Richard Skipper perform for the first time in Darlington, Maryland Sunday evening (5/30/10). As a little boy of 11, I first saw Carol Channing in "Hello Dolly" and she was exquisite. The very same can be said about Richard. He not only channeled her best qualities, he was Carol Channing with all of the quirkiness, humor, engaging conversation with the audience as well as the best set of pipes you have ever heard. His theatrical persona only validates that Richard is capable of anything on stage. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings I have had in a long time. If they ever bring back "Dolly", I know who the title role should go to. If you want to enjoy yourself with tremendous singing, story telling and wry wit then you must go to any of Richard's performances -- he's an angel. He left a lipstick mark on my cheek and in my heart. Thanks Richard!! Will Schneider, NYC
City, State: Saddle Brook, New Jersey Comments: I saw CAROL CHANNING IN CONCERT STARRING RICHARD SKIPPER Sunday evening at a private event in Darlington, Maryland (5/30/10).Once again Richard dazzled and amazed me with his brilliant ability to manipulate his audience right into the palm of his hand. I have had the privilege of seeing Richard’s show several times and it is as fresh and invigorating now as it was the first time for me. What was unique for me with this revisit was that because of the heat, the venue had to be moved from inside to outdoors. "Carol" was driven by car to the pavilion, immediately embraced the audience as if the curtain came up and she floated onto the stage. Richard’s ability to connect with the audience is intense. I think a big part of my enjoyment is not only the wonderful singing but also the interaction with those attending. If you have the opportunity to catch him at the Broadway Emporium in NYC on July 27th...don't miss him! Brian Ballone, Saddle Brook, New Jersey
City, State: New York Website: www.joeybalin.com Comments: In preparation for my show at the Capitol One Theater at Westbury on May 7th, I had the pleasure of doing two week's worth of shows at the Iguana. Dana and Richard couldn't have been nicer and more professional and their audience was the most sophisticated I had seen in quite a while. I recommend this show to performers and audiences alike. as It is truly an enjoyable evening for all. Joey Balin, www.joeybalin.com
