A Night at the Met

A Night at the Met is the third official album release by Robin Williams in 1986. It features segments recorded live at Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. The album won the 1988 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Performance Single or Album, Spoken or Musical. The album was released the year before Williams' critically acclaimed performance in the motion picture Good Morning, Vietnam (1987). He had been shifting his focus from stand-up comedy to filmmaking for several years, and A Night at the Met would be one of his last major concerts during the 1980's. The show is a mix of Williams' rapid-fire humor and voicework, with riffs on the topics of drugs, world affairs, sex and children. References to the events and people of the 1980's...
