Fritz Coleman's New Show Unassisted Residency Extends at The El Portal
Fritz Coleman’s monthly engagements at the Monroe Forum in North Hollywood have consistently been selling out, and his run at the intimate venue is extending through August.
Coleman has accrued a base of devoted fans throughout Southern California thanks to his four-decade, Emmy®-winning career as a weekday weathercaster for NBC4 Los Angeles, 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 Residency, 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 “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.
Fritz will share the stage with a special guest each month. On April 28, that guest will be A-list comedian and comedy fan favorite Wendy Liebman.

The shows are all matinee performances. 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 comedy you will love.
“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 continue to sell out. Fritz wants to welcome you.
