Experience the electrifying energy and comedic genius of Robin Williams with "A Night at the Met"! This CD captures a legendary performance at the Metropolitan Opera House, showcasing Williams' unparalleled improvisational skills and boundless wit.

"A Night at the Met" is the third official album by Robin Williams, released on August 9, 1986. It features segments recorded live at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. The album won the 1988 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Performance Single or Album, Spoken or Musical.

This album is a testament to Williams' mastery of stand-up, blending observational humor, character work, and rapid-fire tangents into a truly unforgettable experience.

The album was released the year before Williams's critically acclaimed performance in the motion picture, Good Morning, Vietnam. He had been shifting his focus from stand-up comedy to filmmaking for several years, and "A Night at the Met" would be one of his last major concerts during the 1980s. The show is a mix of Williams's quick-witted humor and voice work, with rants on the topics of drugs, sex, world affairs and parenting. References to the events and people of the 1980s are heavily mentioned throughout: U.S. President, Ronald Reagan, Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, and General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, are central to many of the jokes.

Relive the magic of a night where Williams held the entire Met audience captive with his raw talent and unbridled enthusiasm. From hilarious impressions to poignant social commentary, this album has it all.

Expect:

  • Unpredictable and wildly creative improvisation.
  • Brilliant character work and spot-on impressions.
  • Hilarious and insightful social commentary.
  • The raw, unfiltered energy of a live Robin Williams performance.
  • A true display of why he is considered one of the greatest comedic minds.

This CD is a must-have for any fan of Robin Williams, stand-up comedy, or anyone who appreciates the power of laughter. Immerse yourself in the brilliance of a true comedic icon.

Enjoy the full performance of "A Night at the Met" and remember the pure joy and laughter that Robin Williams brought to the world.
