ANNOUNCEMENT: A New Chapter in Richard Skipper’s Celebrations

Since March audiences have laughed, sung along, and shared in the magic of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Richard Skipper (But Were Afraid to Ask) — an unscripted, joy-filled evening of music, stories, and audience connection.

Now, to reflect my growing body of work and keep my brand consistent across all platforms, I’m thrilled to announce a new name for the show:

Richard Skipper Celebrates! The Stories, Songs, Surprises!

It’s the same spontaneous, heartfelt, and interactive experience you’ve come to love — just with a title that ties directly into my podcast, newsletter, and ongoing mission to celebrate the people, moments, and artistry that make life extraordinary.

Whether you’ve been part of the journey since the beginning or are joining for the first time, this reimagined title makes it clear: each night is a unique celebration shaped by YOU, the audience.

Join me on Friday, August 22 at 7 PM.

Reserve your seat today — and help me spread the word by inviting a friend (or two) to join us. Call the 4th name in your address book and let me know how it goes! You never know who might show up or what magic might unfold!

Warmly,
Richard Skipper
