Mork Returns to the Stage

MGM Grand - Everybody comes to Vegas. I’ve said this before, but the longer I’m here the more it rings true. My local news station is holding a contest to win Robin Williams tickets and I plan to enter.

Wait, Robin Williams still does stand up? I didn’t know that. I call myself an entertainment expert and I didn’t know that. So, with the aid of my trusty laptop and Google search engine I began my research for this mini post on Robin Williams who apparently still does stand up shows … .

Robin Williams has been a comedian longer then I’ve been alive, seriously. He is also an award-wining actor appearing in such great films as “Good Will Hunting” (which I watched again this past weekend) and “Good Morning Vietnam.” I also know that he did an HBO comedy special a few years back after a more than 16-year absence from stand up. I guess what I didn’t know is that he has been touring the country for most of this year with his one-man show.

On May 25, Robin Williams will be doing a one-night-only performance at the MGM Grand Gardens arena. Tickets are $100 and $225 plus tax and there are still some seats available. The show does have an explicit material label, so you can’t bring the kiddies, cause this isn’t “Mrs. Doubtfire.”

Other than that, I can’t seem to find much information on the actual event. You know - is there a theme, what type of routines are done, is he resurrecting Mork from the 80s? As a result, I can’t tell you if will be just like his 2002 HBO special or if it’s something all together different. I don’t even know if the show has a title. Wow, I suck.

Nonetheless, I plan to stay on top of this and get the scoop on the show that apparently has played all over the United States. See, I told you this was a mini post.

See you on Thursday!
