Legendary award-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams brings an evening of comedy and his
“Weapons of Self-Destruction” Tour to the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara on Wednesday,
February 11, 2009. This is the first show of the tour!
The tour, which began in late September, is his first US stand-up comedy tour in 6 years. The highenergy
show has already received overwhelmingly positive reviews, and highlights Williams’ trademark
free associations and riffs on social and political absurdities. Dave Tianen of The Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel hailed Williams’ energy and performance. “He is still a kind of kinetic eruption, a nonstop
verbal and physical explosion that keeps bursting before your eyes like an hour and 45 minute Chinese
firecracker of comedic brilliance. After all these years, it may still be the most intense comedic anarchy
you can buy a ticket for. Just the sheer bouncing-off-the-walls originality of it is stunning.”
Williams last toured in 2002 when he returned to the stand-up scene after a sixteen-year hiatus. The
sold-out tour earned the distinction of being one of the highest-grossing comedy tours in history and
culminated in a final performance filmed by HBO and broadcast live from New York City. The resulting
July 2002 HBO broadcast, Robin Williams: Live on Broadway, was nominated for five Emmy awards.
With more than 40 industry honors to his credit including; two Emmy awards, six Golden Globe awards
including the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, four Grammy awards, and an Oscar to his credit,
Williams has become one of the most successful and beloved figures in entertainment history. In
addition to his tour, Williams will soon be seen starring in the Disney comedy Old Dogs opposite John
Travolta and will reprise his role as ‘Teddy Roosevelt’ in the sequel Night at the Museum 2: Battle of
the Smithsonian.
