Richard Skipper Closes CAROL CHANNING IN CONCERT To Cape Cod, 9/2

Richard Skipper, the 4-time MAC Award winning celebrity tribute artist, brings his critically-
acclaimed show "Carol Channing" IN CONCERT to Cape Cod for a 4-Night Only Special
Engagement prior to this Fall's Off-Broadway run. A portion of proceeds from each ticket will
benefit The Dr. Carol Channing & Harry Kullijian Foundation For The Arts. The performances
will occur Monday August 30th through Thursday September 2nd at The Madeira Room Vixen
located at The Pilgrim House in Provincetown.

"Carol Channing" IN CONCERT is a fully staged and researched musical montage celebrating
the career and persona of the unique theatrical legend. Blending Channing's standards with
original material and other familiar songs sung by Skipper in a spot-on Channing-on-Broadway
perfection, the musical evening surveys Channing's life with many stops along the way for
Skipper's unique--and riotous--"ad-lib" interactions with the audience is accompanied by a 3-piece
band. The show is directed by long-time NYC actor/director Mark Robert Gordon.

Making his return to Provincetown for the first time in 8 years, Skipper is fresh off a joint
appearance with Carol Channing preceding a 1-night standing room only engagement of
"Carol Channing" IN CONCERT in New York (a star-studded event with luminaries such as
Oscar-winner Celeste Holm, Betsy Palmer, Joe Franklin, original Broadway Hello, Dolly! cast
members, and Channing songwriter Ervin Drake in attendance). The buzz created by the
New York concert has prompted demand for a longer-term Off-Broadway production, which is
slated to open in New York City this Fall in conjunction with bookings worldwide. The Provincetown
and upcoming Off-Browadway productions of "Carol Channing" IN CONCERT are produced
by The Camelback Kid.

Richard Skipper is a 4-time recipient of the MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabaret) Award a
Back Stage Bistro Award, and a CLONEY AWARD in Las Vegas for best performer. He was
named as one of the Top Ten Cabaret Performers by Cabaret Hotline and as one of the
Top of the Century Premiere Cabaret Acts by Cabaret Scenes Magazine.
