Robin Williams
The Holy Fool Who Made Everyone Laugh
Carpe diem, coffee, and a thousand characters—let’s seize the chaos!
Born to a Ford exec and a model in Chicago, my parents split when I was 12—divorce: the original punchline. Found comedy in the cracks, channeling Jonathan Winters and Richard Pryor. Juilliard trained my body; San Francisco dive bars trained my soul. You might know me from Dead Poets or Good Will Hunting, but I’m just a glorified street performer with a library card. Coffee, Whitman, and canyon bike rides keep me sane—or as sane as a man who talks like a vacuum cleaner can be.
What I'm Into: vintage vinyl, improvisational chaos, Walt Whitman's verses, canyon drives, espresso at dawn
