His stories, his songs, his quick-witted humor, all make for such a special evening. I was thoroughly entertained every minute! I'm sure Richard has many more stories to share - and I'm looking forward to hearing them! Billie Brouse, NYC

Richard never ceases to amaze me...each and every.time I see him perform he gets better and richer...he has the audience in the palm of his hand...he charms, he captivates......each moment a Comic Gem with perfect delivery...and choice of songs that weaves magic. Can't wait to see him again....I always leave with a great big old smile on my face. Diane. J. Findlay, NYC
City, State: NYC Website: https://jeffharnar.com/ Comments: ”Everything You Wanted to Know About Richard Skipper *But Were Afraid To Ask” was a sweet delight tonight at the newly refurbished Laurie Beechman Theatre. And for an Entertainer who is a product of the TV Variety Shows of the ‘60’s & ‘70’s, Richard successfuly conjured their joy, musicality and celebrity dish with seemingly effortless aplomb. Answering questions we submitted just prior to the performance, Richard artfully took us on a journey of his roots, his New York and his his career with his singular ability to spin a tale intertwined with uncannily chosen songs. The remarkably intuitive Music Director Dan Pardo skillfully underscored these spontaneous stories with ever appropriate show tunes, and seamlessly wove in and out of the rehearsed musical numbers to allow for Richard’s numerous and humorous asides. Kudos to Director James Beaman for crafting a show that artfully allows Richard to work his ”off the cuff” magic, and still follows a trajectory that builds to a well-earned, triumphant and hugely uplifting “It’s Not Where You Start It’s Where You Finish.” A moment of uncanny magic: Jacquline Parker submitted her question with the psuedonym “Holly Golightly.” The question was “how would you spend the last hours before the world ended?” Incredibly, the “planned” song was “Moon River,” beautifully tied to Richard’s answer about how we can tether our memories of loved ones to songs. Truman Capote couldn’t have crafted it all as eloquently. Keep an eye out for the Encore in August … though, given to formula, “Encore” isn’t the right word as the show will be born anew before that audience’s eyes based on their questions. Don’t be afraid to ask!
City, State: New York, NY Website: www.raissakatonabennett.com Comments: Richard Skipper is one of the warmest and most intuitive interviewers! We asked Richard to host an evening at our Dutch Treat Club and he was able to secure the incredible Julie Halston and fabulous Melissa Errico for the night! We heard from many that night, that not only was it the best night ever for Dutch Treat, but indeed one of the best evenings they had ever attended, period! I have to agree - my face hurt from smiling so much that night! I cannot say enough about it, and as the Entertainment Chair of the Dutch Treat Club, if anyone would like to to reach out to ask me additional questions of just how wonderful Richard is to work with, please do! Raissa Katona Bennett, Dutch Treat Club
