Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with the multi-talented and multi-award-winning performer, host and raconteur, RICHARD SKIPPER, for a spirited conversation about the power of positivity, the rough edges of ambition and embracing our third act potential, the shifting landscape of the NYC cabaret scene, and of course, we’ll hear juicy stories from his treasure trove of performance history.

Richard is best known for his impersonation of Carol Channing for twenty years and for chronicling the history of the beloved musical Hello Dolly, by Jerry Herman, which recently celebrated its 60th anniversary in his show.

In this episode we touch on…

Our innate desire to be seen, heard, and connected.
Leaving social media, and letting go of its addiction, anxiety, and time consumption.
The power of stepping out of our comfort zones and asking for what we need and want.
“Richard is the embodiment of Hello Dolly”. What drew Richard to impersonate Carol Channing for 20 years and to embrace the powerful and timeless message of Hello Dolly, one of taking chances and thinking outside the box that resonates still in these challenging times.
With his encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Hello Dolly, Channing herself urged Richard to write a book.
The Shadow aspects of impersonation work.
While this wasn’t my direct question, Richard shares the understanding of the fundamental difference between impersonation and drag.
An ambitious life vs. a Third Act mission – the edge between an ambitious life and a simpler life of ease.
The power of positivity vs negativity bias, and what living on the edge of everyday means to Richard.
