A Night at the Met is the third official album release by Robin Williams. It features segments recorded live at Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, in 1986. This album won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Performance Single or Album, Spoken or Musical for 1988.
The album reveals Williams at the height of his comic prowess, just a year before Good Morning, Vietnam was released and his focus would shift from stand-up to filmmaking, making the Night at the Met one of his last major concerts for 16 years. The show is a usual mix of Williams' rapid-fire humor and voicework, flowing between subjects of drugs, world affairs, sex and children. References to the events and people of the 1980s are strewn heavily throughout—U.S. President Ronald Reagan, Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, and President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev are central to many of the jokes.
