I’m Richard Skipper, and I’ve spent the last 46 years in entertainment as an entertainer, host, storyteller, and advocate for the arts. Whether on stage, behind the mic, or in conversation with artists in all walks of life, my mission has always been to celebrate the performers, productions, and stories that make the arts so magical.I believe that every day is to be celebrated...WHEN we make the time to do so. 

I proudly debuted my brand-new show, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Richard Skipper… But Were Afraid To Ask, at the historic Salmagundi Club in NYC! It was a thrilling, unscripted evening filled with audience-driven stories, music, and surprises in one of New York’s most iconic cultural venues.

I recently revisited this performance clip from 9 years ago, and it reminded me how timeless the magic of live entertainment truly is. Whether it’s the energy of the audience, the stories shared through song, or those special moments that happen only on stage—it’s all captured here.

If you love a good throwback and want to experience (or re-experience!) that moment, head over to my YouTube channel and give it a watch!
