Funny Travel: Robin Williams Standing up Again

August 6, 2008 at 10:30 AM | 0 Comments

A rising tide lifts all comedians: After a six-year hiatus, Robin Williams is going back on tour with his stand-up act "Weapons of Self Destruction," bravely setting aside his film career which has reaped flicks like "License to Wed" and "August Rush."

"It's an election year, which is basically Christmas for stand-up comics," Williams says, but the show will be mostly a personal affair covering his struggles to stay sane.

The tour kicks off August 25 in Minneapolis and ends November 25--by which time he'll be able to test his new presidential material, knock wood--at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston.
