On January 26, there will be a special performance of Fritz Coleman’s show Unassisted Residency to benefit the California Community Foundation Wildlife Recovery Fund. 100% of all profits raised will be donated to the fund.

Fritz Coleman’s monthly engagements at the Monroe Forum in North Hollywood have consistently been selling out. His show Unassisted Residency is the El Portal’s longest-running attraction.

Coleman has accrued a base of devoted fans throughout Southern California thanks to his four-decade, Emmy®-winning career as a weatherman and newscaster for NBC and his designation as honorary mayor of Toluca Lake. But he also had careers as an actor, writer, and comedian.

Fritz has done live solo comedy shows before (The Reception; It’s Me, Dad!). His newest show, Unassisted Living, gives him a platform to talk about those topics which emerge from his current perspective: that of a still vital seventy-something. His show for “woke boomers” will cover things like Zoom school, retirement, becoming vegan, pharmaceuticals, celebrating growing up, and growing old. The show will also feature some of his favorite stories and observations about modern life.

The show is a matinee performance. Fritz says, “The show starts early…because I’m trying to be sensitive to the needs of my particular demographic….old people and their parents…I promise to have you home by dark.”

Plying his trade with a gentler touch than some of his contemporaries, Fritz performs clean comedy.

“Beguiling and very funny…Recommended.”---Stage Raw

“Coleman is always welcoming…We DO need a weatherman to know the way the wind blows.”---Showmag.com

“Each show will continue to have the audience reflecting on their own life, while rolling in laughter…Wonderful.”---L.A. Splash.

Please make your reservations early to avoid disappointment, as this show will sell out. Fritz wants to welcome you.
