Robin Williams Solo Set for HBO
Robin Williams will return to HBO this summer for a live comedy event, marking his first solo TV special in more than 15 years.
His last one, “Robin Williams: An Evening at the Met,” premiered on HBO in 1986.
“Robin Williams: Live on Broadway” will be presented at 9 p.m. July 14 from the Broadway Theater in Gotham, one of the stops on his national comedy tour.
Williams appeared on HBO during the pay cable network’s 1977 “Young Comedians” special and went on to star in three solo specials for the network, in 1978, 1983 and 1986.
In addition to performing on a variety of other HBO comedy specs, he also was one of the hosts of all eight “Comic Relief” benefits.
