Ferrante the Grouch

The Marx Brothers remain one of the most brilliant comedy teams of all time. Coming out of vaudeville, the Brothers were as adept at lightning-fast comedic wordplay as they were at physical comedy. Chief among the pranksters was Groucho, whose rapid-fire one-liners (frequently directed at long-suffering foil Margaret Dumont) are legendary. Groucho himself may have passed on in 1977, but actor Frank Ferrante has been keeping his spirit alive in his one-man show, An Evening With Groucho . Ferrante performs as Groucho, regaling the audience with tales of his life and times and throwing in a few of Groucho's signature tunes. Ferrante will dance with you till the cows come home. On second thought, he'd rather dance with the cows till you come home.
