He served as the Zima spokesman in national TV commercials and was a regular on the last Carol Burnett series.

What the critics have said; …” an astonishing Robin Williams impressionist!”—Daily Variety

“He’s the closest thing to Robin Williams that there will ever be.”—New York Newsday

Robin Williams was arguably one of the greatest comedians of our time and Kabler’s tribute show respects his memory and celebrates his legacy. Recreating the look, voice and manic energy, Roger’s performance is hilarious and emotionally powerful. It is a production that gives fans another chance to laugh with the beloved entertainer who sadly took his own life in 2014.

After Williams’ death, his widow revealed he suffered from Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia, which unfortunately had become debilitating. Tickets are only $28.50 and are available on-line at Prekindle Tickets.
