I'm forever plugging Frank Ferrante's uncanny Groucho show here and with good reason. This guy Ferrante really does transform himself into Julius "Groucho" Marx for two hours of gaiety, frivolity and the good kind of Marxism. The only thing wrong with the show is that he never seems to do it in or around Los Angeles.
A week from today, March 19, he'll be about as close to L.A. as he's been in years. He'll be in San Bernardino at the Sturges Center for the Fine Arts. I just Mapquested it and from the corner of Hollywood and Highland, just to pick an arbitrary starting point, it's 60 miles. They say "1 hour, 15 minutes" or "2 hours in traffic." I've driven farther and longer for worse entertainment.
The following weekend, he'll be in Easton, Pennsylvania and then Hampton, Virginia…and then in early April, he does a whole week near Syracuse, New York, followed by gigs in San Rafael, California and Newton. Massachusetts. Get the details here. I don't know anyone who's seen this show who hasn't loved it…and I know a lot of people who've seen it.
