VIA VISION STANDS UP WITH ROBIN WILLIAMS

Melbourne – August 23, 2010: Legendary comedian Robin Williams will bring his critically acclaimed new stand-up comedy tour, entitled “Weapons of Self Destruction”, to Australia from the 4th of November 2010. The high-energy show will highlight Williams’ trademark free associations and riffs on social and political absurdities. The show, which toured the US in 2008 and 2009, sold out venues across the country as well as in the UK and Canada and earned the comedian spectacular reviews.

To celebrate, Via Vision Entertainment is proud to announce the November 3rd 2010 release of two of Robin’s most iconic shows; Live at the Met & Live and Uncensored in a spectacular Double Feature Collector’s Edition. The pack contains 2 DVDs as well as 2 audio CDs.

“More than merely a joke teller, the Juilliard-trained actor raises his clever and original observations to comic genius with his use of accents and masterful performing skills. With his sharp intellect and a rapier wit that comes to him as easily as breathing, it’s no wonder Williams has remained one of the most revered comedians for the past 30 years.” - Santa Barbara Independent

“On points of craftsmanship Williams deserves to be included in the pantheon of still-living
standup greats.” - Toronto Sun

“Watching Robin Williams onstage is watching a master at work.” - Charlotte Observer

“At their best, his one-liners are bubbles of pure originality” - Daily Telegraph
.
Via Vision has had tremendous success with other key titles such as the double platinum selling Cliff Richard & The Shadows Live in London, Stephen K Amos Live, The Lonesome Dove Collection, Crusty Demons, All the Rivers Run, Peter Brock, North & South: The Miniseries, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Rawhide, Due South, Acropolis Now, Cliff Richard Live at Wembley Stadium 2008, Barack Obama His Story and the Manchester United Collector’s Pack, to name a few.
