Gee, it's been at least three hours since I plugged the fine performances of my pal Frank Ferrante, who tours this continent in the guise of Julius "Groucho" Marx, replicating the master comic actor in a one-man (plus pianist) show. He must be good because I receive a steady stream of e-mails from folks who say they went to see Frank on my recommendation and that he was everything I said he was. Like you, I love being told I'm right.
The only problem with Frank's act is that he rarely does it where I can see it…or even where some of you can see it. So we have to be ever-vigilant and keep consulting his touring schedule to see when he'll be coming our way. His 2011 calendar is now posted on his website — not that there won't be more dates added in the future but you might want to check now. If you're in or around Glen Allen, Virginia or Vincennes, Indiana or Holstein, Iowa, you're in luck. He'll be nearby in January. If you're anywhere else, go ascertain as to whether your burg is on his itinerary. And if it is and you go see him, say the Secret Words ("I read about you on Mark Evanier's blog") and Frank will pose for a photo with you after the show.
