About me: Hi, I'm Friendly Frank, and the first thing you need to know about me is that I will love you before you love me. I already love you, because I love people. That’s just the way I was raised. Maybe it’s my mid-western mentality – I’m originally from the "STL!” (that stands for St. Louis, MO [explanation: only for the slow]). And while I love living in Southern California, St. Louis will always be the place I think of as “home.” It’s a vibrant, soulful, classic city filled with good people, including my own good family. And an arch. I am blessed to have two outstanding parents who sacrificed a lot for their four kids, and I love them for that. (I love them for a lot more, but that’s all I have room to talk about right now.)
I’ve been funny all my life. I really appreciate it when I can share that part of myself with good people, so I’m pretty comfortable with the fact that I am doing what I was put on this earth to do:
“Make people laugh and think!”
I believe that knowledge – my own and my audiences’ – and the way I treat people are the two things that will make me great, because knowledge and respect are valued and understood all over the world. Like a mental exchange rate.
I appreciate all the kind words and support that I have received through the years, especially since I began my comedy career. God bless all of you for that. Hopefully I won’t let you down – but if I do, please don't forget that I am only f*****g human!!!! That sometimes works on my wife. GOD BLESS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS MY ROCK (and my bank)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND MUCH LOVE 2 ALL!!!!!!!!!! OH, AND COME SEE MY SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who I'd like to meet:
Jesus, Prince, Oprah, David Letterman, Mark Twain and Barack Obama. Not necessarily in that order, although Barack's moving up the list after his win in Iowa! CHANGE is coming, people! CHANGE is coming, and we are ready for it! Jesus, Prince, Oprah, Dave and Barack are all on board.
You're an awesome guy Frank. I hope to get back down to L.A. by the end of this year so I can catch your show and start doing a little bit of my own thing too. Keep 'em laughing buddy.
Hey Frank, this is probably a dumb question, but did you ever bomb it thinking ya had some really good stuff put together but nobody seemed interested at all? Being a comic is very hard because we have to be very creative and original. Maybe I'm just preaching to the wrong type of audience lol.
I've been ill for the last few weeks but now that I'm feeling better I plan on coming out to see you. Hope the New Year has been going fantastic for you.
