Here are some reviews from a few Robin Williams November tour dates in Canada:

Chris Cobb, The Ottawa Citizen:

• “Watching Williams transform a cavernous hockey arena into an intimate comedy club for 10,500 people was remarkable.”
• “Profane, sexually explicit, frenetic and bawdy though he was, there could have been few dry eyes or non-aching jaws in the house when he walked off 90 minutes later with one final crack at the expense of U2's Bono.”
• “Williams' brilliance at impersonation, and his ability to use his body to complement his words, adds a dimension to his wacky observational dialogue that makes him irresistibly funny.”
• “So rapid-fire and seemingly disconnected is Williams' delivery that only with the aid of a few notes taken during the performance could anyone possibly remember any more than a snippet of what had them in tears for 90 minutes.”
• “After his short encore, people poured out into the cold, still chattering and chuckling about the show, still laughing and trying to remember a few of the lines that had made them laugh.”
• “The post-show buzz suggested that Williams' place in the hearts of at least 10,500 fans is quite secure.”

Jim Slotek, Toronto Sun (Sun Media):

• “And the 2008 award for best pandering to the locals by a visiting A-list comic goes to - Robin Williams!”
• “Any comic can have a good set with great material. But Williams runs the gamut from transcendently brilliant bits […] to outright hackery […] and shapes them all into some form of 'hilarious' in his comedy Cuisinart.”
• “But whichever side of his brain it comes from, on points of craftsmanship Williams deserves to be in included in the pantheon of still-living standup greats.”
• “Add to that hurricanes, the snotty English voice of his GPS, Seattle, cats and dogs (see hackery, above), Bluetooth, Viagra, Satan, The Pope, gay marriage and an entire encore set about porn, and you have - pound for pound - the most bountiful set of comedy in the business. We're talking a veritable all-you-can-swallow buffet of premises.”
• “Like they say in the infomercials, Williams show is all about 'Volume, volume, volume!' making him a veritable force of nature live, a quality that just doesn't replicate onscreen.”
• “If you don't get to see him on this tour, your choices are to hope for a cable special, or maybe wait another six years.”

Bill Brownstein, Montreal Gazette:

• “You probably wouldn't want to live with Williams - he  appears to be on all the time. But sharing a couple of hours with him is equivalent to a high of the poison of your choice. And between his impressions and insights, he is pretty much a non-stop howl.”
• “[Robin Williams] doesn't go through the motions. He gives it his all, always.”
• “[Robin Williams] will adjust to each crowd and city.”
• “Williams doesn't shy away from discoursing on the environment and the current economic crunch, either.”
• “He brought the house down with his views on booze.”
• “Then he absolutely killed with his closer, Creationist sex, which will go down in the annals as a comedy classic - and none of which can be repeated in a family newspaper.”
