Robin Williams is nervous. He is prowling around backstage at the Chicago Theater, waiting for the curtain to go up in front of a packed house and wondering if he can make the 3,800 people out there laugh. It's the opening show in his first stand-up tour in almost 16 years. He turned 50, "an age when you realize your prostate is bigger than your ego," last July. Can he still carry an audience for nearly two hours on his own, the way he last did in New York City when he was just...
...instance of his ability to conjure vast cohesive soundscapes using only his voice. During this performance, you could only marvel at the energy and manic zeal that goes into evoking and faithfully capturing the spirit of the original film in seven minutes. His wicked witch, right down to the laugh is a spine-tinglingly faithful recreation. It is, in a woefully inadequate word, breathtaking. And that’s just when he sings alone...

The largest cheers are reserved for gay members of the police force, who march in uniform. Twenty-four years ago, the authorities stopped the protest march. Now they are part...
There’s a lot to laugh at in any given issue of Glamour magazine: prose that makes a new party shirt seem life-defining or five point lists that, if followed, will eradicate all of life’s pesky little problems. When I flipped through my spring-is-in-the-air fresh copy of Glamour’s March issue and found three whole pages devoted to plus-sized ladies, however, I didn’t laugh, I stopped to investigate...
