“Not only does he sing songs we all know and love, Richard Skipper puts a smile on everyone’s face and leaves you renewed to face the world—ready to ‘Open a New Window.’”

Eva Heinaman, Hi! Drama

Richard Skipper successfully conjured the joy, musicality, and celebrity dish of classic TV variety shows with seemingly effortless aplomb—spinning stories and songs into an uplifting, off-the-cuff celebration of life, memory, and connection.

Jeff Harnar

Richard Skipper ‘interviewed himself’ with the help of a packed audience in an unscripted evening of laughter, music, and revelation—blending heartfelt stories, showbiz anecdotes, and masterful song interpretation into a one-man celebration of empathy, connection, and a 46-year career in entertainment.”

Stephen Sorokoff, Broadway World and Times Square Chronicles

Richard Skipper opened his heart and invited the audience in for an evening of revelation, inspiration, and old-fashioned hilarity—seamlessly blending storytelling, song, and audience connection in a format reminiscent of the great TV hosts of the past. The result was pure entertainment, personal and unforgettable.”Jacqueline Parker, Cabaret Scenes

Chipper Mr. Skipper was the merriest man decked out in red since another jovial gent came from the North Pole a few nights earlier.”

Rob Lester, Broadway World

"Richard Skipper reaches out both literally and emotionally, drawing us in. He's less a host/performer than a human standing ovation for the business we call show...If Broadway had a perpetual opening-night party, Richard Skipper would be at the center of the room. Long before 'content creators' were a thing, Richard was fostering community, reminding a business chasing the next opening that its greatest currency has always been unforgettable people."
