A Night at the Met is the third officialalbum byRobin Williams, released August 9, 1986. It features segments recorded live at theMetropolitan Opera House inNew York City. The album won the 1988Grammy Award forBest Comedy Performance Single or Album, Spoken or Musical.
The album was released the year before Williams's critically acclaimed performance in the motion picture,Good Morning, Vietnam. He had been shifting his focus from stand-up comedy to filmmaking for several years, andA Night at the Met would be one of his last major concerts during the 1980s. The show is a mix of Williams's quick-witted humor andvoice work, with rants on the topics ofdrugs,sex,world affairs andparenting. References to the events and people of the 1980s are heavily mentioned throughout:U.S. President,Ronald Reagan,Libyan leader,Muammar Gaddafi, andGeneral Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,Mikhail Gorbachev, are central to many of the jokes.
