City, State: SAN FRANCISCO, CA Comments: The kindness of Richard and the performance of him as Carol Channing last year made me come for a second round when he was back in town. I took his class, and gained so much knowledge as a beginning cabaret artist!I brought my best friends Matt and Jenn to his show at the Octavia lounge. He delievered the most amazing night of entertainment, his energy, his effervescent homage to Carol, (we always call him Carol) I have to just say how wonderful Mr. Skipper is, and how very much I look forward to his return.
City, State: New York, NY Comments: The remarkable thing about your performance is that it does not rely on the usual exaggerated Carol Channing mannerisms, but on the subtleties of Miss Channing, making your portrayal an accumulation of small truths. What we came to expect was not what we got. Instead we were transported (a word used by Sondra Lee). It's a performance that grows beautifully as the evening progresses. We soon come to accept you as the lady herself. The bonus is the window into the past that you create, bringing Carol Channing very much into the present and into the room. We had a delightful evening at Helen's Hide-away.

City, State: New York, NY Comments: Richard Skipper as Carol Channing ignites into a superhilarious celebration of top notch show business. He is so brilliant that he soars. Joe Franklin Bloomberg Radio
