As longtime readers of this blog know, I'm a big fan of a performer named Frank Ferrante. Frank tours the country with his show, An Evening With Groucho in which he stunningly recreates the comedy legend. I was never a big fan of "impersonator" shows because the impersonation is usually good for about five minutes and you never really forget it's some guy doing an imitation. But Frank so completely disappears behind the painted-on mustache and eyebrows that you can pretend you're watching the one, the only…
Later this month, he'll be in Wisconsin, North Carolina and Minnesota…and you can find his whole touring schedule here. We're most excited that on January 9 and 10 of 2016, he'll make one of his rare stops close to Los Angeles. He'll be out at the Pasadena Playhouse where he sold the place out the last time he was booked there. If you're anywhere near there, it wouldn't hurt to order tickets now. They just went on sale so you should be able to grab some good seats.
I've been plugging this show for years and I can't tell you how many people have written to thank me and say, "He was everything you said he was." I like people who prove me right. There aren't a lot of them.
