Weapons of Self-Destruction
Weapons of Self-Destruction highlights Robin Williams’ trademark free associations and riffs on social and political absurdities. The high-energy and highly anticipated tour launched in the United States on September 25th in Minneapolis and will take Williams throughout North America by year’s end. Williams’ last American comedy tour was in 2002 when he returned to the stand-up scene after a sixteen year hiatus. That sold-out tour earned the distinction of being one of the highest-grossing comedy tours in history and culminated in a final performance filmed by HBO and broadcast live from New York City. The resulting July 2002 HBO broadcast, Robin Williams: Live on Broadway, was nominated for five Emmy® awards. With more than 40 industry honors to his credit including four Oscar® nominations and one win, two Emmy® awards, four Grammys® and six Golden Globes® including the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, Williams has become one of the most successful and beloved figures in entertainment history. In addition to his upcoming tour, Williams will soon be seen starring in the Disney comedy Old Dogs opposite John Travolta and will reprise his role as ‘Teddy Roosevelt’ in the sequel Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
