Incredible news for all Frantics
fans.
We have uncovered the long lost video tapes of our 'The Frantics
Walk Upright, A Journey Through History' stage show. While the
original betacam tapes are gone, we did find the editing work print
tapes used for editing (a long time ago :-). You can see the
time code on them. But, regardless, the show is still incredibly
funny. This is the last live show we did before disbanding in 1988.
We are in the process of creating a DVD of this incredible find.
Here is the Vikings Invade sketch. A mere sampler.

"The Frantics were the best thing I saw on the show that night.
They're back and not a moment too soon." Mark Breslin, President of Yuk Yuks International,
commenting on the Cream of Comedy Show at the Second City.
"My history with The Frantics goes way back to the early 80's when
we all performed at The Leacock Festival of Humor. I was always a
fan of theirs and particularly appreciated the amount of joy they
brought to their performances and consequently, their audiences. It
is unusual to find that level of innovative creativity combined
with a true love of performing. I was delighted to hear they had
re-united and went to see them last Fall at Second City. Instead of
a tired re-hash of yesterday's news, it was a fresh, extremely
funny performance with all of the ingredients that made the formula
work in the first place. The Frantics continue to be an explosion
of colour in the sometimes drab Canadian entertainment
landscape." Steve Smith (Red Green)
