Comedian extraordinaire Robin Williams continues his world wide tour, “Weapons of Self Destruction” when he takes the stage Dec. 5 and 6 in Seattle, WA at the Paramount Theatre, 8 p.m. (Source: robin-williams.net).

In August the Oscar winning performer announced two “Working on Material” shows and those were sold out within seconds, according to Linda, who runs the above referenced fan site.

“New at the ‘Working on Material’ shows was the Suggestion Box,” she said.

“Williams, like most accomplished comics, likes to ‘work out’ new material in cozy quarters where he can experiment without the pressure that comes with a big show,” says writer Neal Justin. “Of course, you don't have to be a stand-up regular to be wild about Williams.”

The 2008 tour is the first stand-up marathon since Williams’ critically acclaimed 26-date escapade in 2002 for which he won a Grammy. He hit the road Sept. 26 and will be touring through the end of the year.

One fan who recently saw Williams’ stand-up live called it “110 minutes of pure laughter” in a great show.

In 2004 Comedy Central ranked Williams as one of the “100 Greatest Standups of All Time.”  As an Academy Award-winning actor, he has worked with such greats as Robert DeNiro, Glenn Close, Al Pacino, Stephen Spielberg, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, Mike Nichols, and numerous others. Earning a 1998 Oscar for his role in “Good Will Hunting” counseling the troubled character played by Matt Damon, Williams had already been nominated on three different occasions for the prestigious honor. He would often study Jonathan Winters comedy records and play with toy soldiers as a child, and would later use comedy to his advantage at school, according to research.

Williams provided the voice of two of the animated penguin movie “Happy Feet's” most entertaining penguins: Ramon, the small but studly Adelie penguin, and Lovelace, the Barry White of the penguin world. A former Julliard student who attended the school on a full scholarship, Williams, who took the stage on “American Idol Gives Back” this past spring, is also known for his many years of charity work from Project Open Hand and Glide to Comic Relief, besides many others. He continues to wow audiences through a variety of movie roles and his stand-up known for working “without a net.”

Bravo TV describes Williams’ comedy as frenetic improv. Williams was one of many comedians featured in Rolling Stone’s Sept. 6 issue.

Part of the Oscar winner's new standup material includes him playing Satan, taking phone calls -- including some from presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain. (Source: Lakeshore Theater).
