Hollywood superstar, Oscar winner and legendary comedian, Robins 1982 original stand-up masterpiece Robin Williams Live and Uncensored! is being released in Australia for the first time.

With over 40 industry honours to his credit, including an Academy Award, two Emmys, four Grammys and six Golden Globes, and his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Robin Williams has become one of the most successful figures in entertainment history.

Born in Chicago, his family moved to San Francisco when he was 16 where he was voted Least Likely to Succeed by his fellow graduates at high school! His comedy skills were honed in college, but he briefly studied political science before enrolling at the prestigious Julliard School to study theatre.

After graduating he performed in clubs and by the mid-70s hes guest-starred on legendary shows like Saturday Night Live, Laugh-In and The Richard Pryor Show, with his talent for improv being there from the beginning.

In 1977 he won a guest appearance on Happy Days as the alien Mork from the planet Ork - during the audition Robin sat on his head on the chair which led to his own series Mork & Mindy.

Hollywood was soon calling and a string of classic hits followed Robin excelling in dramatic and comedy roles in the films; The World According To Garp, Awakenings, Aladdin, Mrs Doubtfire, Jumani, The Birdcage, Patch Adams, Licence To Wed. He made Oscar nominated performances for Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King as well as the stand-out Oscar winning performance for Good Will Hunting.

His latest film, the buddy comedy Old Dogs with John Travolta, is releasing in Australia on Boxing Day 2009.

Robin is a great supporter of charities around the world, benefiting health care, human rights, education and environmental protection, and has been a regular performer and host of the Comic Relief charity show. After a 16 year absence from stand-up comedy, Robin came back with an award winning sold-out U.S. Tour, and mid-September hell resume his current sold-out U.S. Tour, Weapons of Self Destruction.

Robin Williams comedy classic stand-up show Live and Uncensored! recorded live in San Francisco in 1982, is being released in Australia for the first time in 27 years on DVD. It features Robins trademark free associations, million-mile-per-hour speech and riffs on the social and political absurdities of the world, his zany, off-the-wall humour never ceases to dazzle as he yells, skips and swears his way through a series of crazy characters and improvisations that reflect that indelible Williams hysteria, plus heaps of Special Features. Live and Uncensored! In stores from September 9.
