Richard Skipper is the real deal . . . I wish the workshop was longer . . . thanks for having him . . .” These are just a few of the comments made by the participants of the “Making a Living on the Road” workshop held at the Arts Council of Rockland this past May. Richard presented an incredibly informative and professional presentation that was a huge success. The session was designed to custom fit the needs of the participants. For organizations that provide services to artists this is a "must-have" workshop. Richard, your willingness to give so freely of your time, knowledge and expertise is greatly appreciated. I look forward to working with you again in the future. Patrick Cacciola Program Director Arts Council of Rockland
City, State: NY, NY Comments: What a night!!! I feel so lucky to have been at that wonderful fund raiser Richard Skipper organized for the legendary Carol Channing and her Foundation for the Arts. His tribute of Carol Channing is uncanny. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. (AND Carol Channing watching him!) His singing is fabulous. Skipper just charmed everyone out of their seats for a well deserved standing ovation. He is the cosummate performer. Hope to see him soon again. Linda Axelrod
City, State: Jacksonville, FL Comments: I got back last night from The Big Apple and having the very great priviledge of seeing RICHARD SKIPPER have his face taken into the hands of the REAL Carol Channing and hearing her say," I LOVE Richard, he is so very wonderful"! This was after she had told the audience, after Richard's breathtaking performance, "He is taller than me, he sings better than me and I don't think I was EVER that pretty, I think he may do me better than I do!" What a thrill it was to have her acknowledge Richard's talent to the world (via Rex Reed who was at her table along with Carol's husband Harry, Marge Champion and other noteables.) Neil Sedaka asked Richard if he could come, but only if he could sing a song, and we got to hear & see him perform "Where the Boys Are" in an intimate 70 person room. Carol Channing also said that "Richard is truly the greatest musical comedy star I have ever seen and I have seen them all." I HEARD her say this. The whole room heard it! Everyone of you out there should be happy and proud to have Richard as a part of our community! I just wish I could bring Richard to Florida! Laddie Dwyer, UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT
City, State: New York, NY Comments: What a 52nd Birthday celebration!!!! Surrounded by 26 of my dear friends, watching Carol Channing enraptured by Carol Channing (aka Richard) in a flawless and inspired tribute, with Marge Champion and Rex Reed in the room only to be topped off with a dedication of "Where the Boys Are" from the rock and roll legend, Neil Sedaka. Wow - a night to remember. Richard Skipper's performance is not to be missed - make it the priority to go and take your friends. Don't let this parade pass you by !!!!
City, State: NYC Website: http://www.christinelavin.com/ Comments: I am so thrilled forthe success of Richard Skipper and all the wonderful things happening -- it's all so well deserved, and how thrilling for Carol to be part of the experience. And those great things she said about him -- that's money in the bank! As with Ervin Drake, it's really important that these living legends get their due while they are here to enjoy it. Richard Skipper makes so many people happy, and that's also so important during this horrible political time we find ourselves living in. People need to laugh and be entertained and enjoy themselves from time to time -- I think performers in the best sense of the word are actually performing group therapy with their shows. The highest compliment I feel I was paid was when a concert promoter said to me, "People leave your shows feeling the way they should feel when they leave church -- but church doesn't do it for them anymore." People leave feeling elevated, and inspired -- the best performers take them out of their own lives, and into a different world. And Richard Skipper does that in SPADES!
