That stands for "Frank Ferrante Plug." I haven't plugged my pal Frank here for a while, mostly because he's been doing his Groucho show in Australia. But he's back in the states — in particular in Washington, where he's doing an extended run through August 24 at the ACT Theater in Seattle. Info and tickets are available here and here's a little article about the engagement. Every time he performs anywhere, I get at least one e-mail from someone who went and wants to thank me.
It has not been formally announced and tickets are not yet on sale but on January 11, 2015, Frank will be doing one performance at the Gindi Auditorium at the American Jewish University here in Los Angeles. This is a very nice place up on Mulholland, not far from the Skirball Cultural Center. I'll provide more details as we get closer to the day but Frank doesn't play L.A. very often so if you live here and have always wanted to see him, this may be your best opportunity. And if you love Groucho or if you've just always wanted to see an Italian kid play an old Jew at a Jewish University, you'll enjoy it. A lot.
