Richard Skipper Celebrates

Happy 2026!

This year, I’m celebrating 47 incredible years in the entertainment industry, and what a journey it has been! From my humble beginnings in Conway, South Carolina, to pursuing my acting dreams in New York City in 1979, I have been blessed to explore so many exciting opportunities in show business.

I’ve enjoyed an extraordinary career that has taken me from the bright lights of Atlantic City to the glitz of Las Vegas. Myfocus always on the audience has led me to stages big and small, sharing stories and songs with wonderful audiences along the way.

One of my proudest achievements was transforming my original Hello, Dolly! blog into a talk/variety series called Richard Skipper Celebrates, which ran for three successful years. Today, that series lives on through syndication on most popular podcast platforms and YouTube, continuing to share joy, insights, and celebrations of the performing arts.
