Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt the beginning of this show, the announcer said "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Robin Williams!" about five seconds too early. (He was supposed to say it so that the end of the announcement would butt right up against the first drum beat of the opening music.) It was the only show on the entire tour where that happened.
- Quotes
Robin Williams: [talking about the invention of golf] Here's my idea for a fucking sport. I knock a ball in a gopher hole. "Like pool" Fuck off pool, not with a straight stick, with a little fucked up stick. I whack a ball its goes in a gopher hole. "Oh you mean like croquet?" "Fuck croquet. I put the hole hundreds of yards away. Oh fuck of ya, "Oh like a bowling thing?" "Fuck no, Not straight I put shit in the way. Like trees and bushes and high grass. So you can lose you fucking ball. And go whacking away with a fucking tire iron. Whacking away, and each time you miss you feel like you'll have a stroke. Fuck that's what we'll call it, a stroke, cause each time you miss you feel like you're gonna fuckin die. Oh great, oh and here's the better part oh fuck this is brilliant. Right near the end I'll put a little flat piece with a little flag to give you fucking hope. But then I'll put a little pool and a sand box to fuck with your ball again. Ay, you'll be there cracking you ass, jacking away in the sand, "oh and you do this one time?" "Fuck no. 18 fucking times."
- Alternate versionsThere is a cut on the 2002 DVD. The audio CD shows that there was a joke about Enron before it abruptly cuts to the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disney Land joke.

But that just proves that the material in his show can sustain multiple viewings, and his jokes and performance is so good that it is always fun to return to watch this show.
Robin Williams has a great scene performance and he feels very much at home on the stage in the spotlight. His jokes are funny and brings me to laugh quite often. And the show is quite diverse as it goes wide and far.
The amount of energy that fuels this guy on stage is just fantastic. And it shows on the screen, because he is very dynamic and animated in his performance, not just standing rigidly in front of a microphone.
This is definitely a show that is worth sitting down to watch if you enjoy stand-up comedy. And if you haven't already seen this 2002 show from Robin Williams, you definitely should do so if you are given the chance.
I am rating "Robin Williams Live on Broadway" a well-deserving eight out of ten stars.
