Robin Williams question

[NissanGurl]

I remember an old TV special Robin Williams did (maybe mid-eighties or earlier?) that was absolutely histerical, but I can't find it anywhere. Here's what I can remember and hopefully someone else has seen it too.

He wore a shirt with a white background and symmetrical chienese dragons (left/right symmetry). He wore his hair similar to what it was on Mork and Mindy. He got wild in the routine (big surprise) and wound up starting to climb the balcony near the stage. I believe this is also the one where at one point he stuck his head out of the doors leading to the street and yelled "Free Cocaine!" Not positive on that last one. I am sure that he ended the special with a bit about his son (I think the kid was around 2-5, based on the impression) and how kids pick up bad words quickly. His example with the work f*ck.

Anyone know what special I'm talking about. Maybe it was a HBO thing, don't know. If anyone has seen it, I'm trying to figure out the name and anyplace I can find it.

Thanks for the help! 🙂

The great part about the yelling "Free Cocaine" was that some guy actually walked through the doors a minute later.

He was a mad man in his stand up routines. I remember watching his HBO specials in the 80s.

Sorry, I don't know the name of the special you are looking for though.

Could be one of these, but there are no pics out there and the summaries don't tell you what's in the routine. Anybody see one of these and let me know it is or is not the one I'm thinking of?

A good part of your description sounds like an evening at the met. My parents have that recorded on VHS... but we don't have a VCR anymore :-x


I do remember that there is like, a horse drawn wagon type deal in the background...
