Weatherman and Comedian Fritz Coleman Brings the Laughter Back to Mission Viejo!
08.14.24
On Saturday, August 24, "Lass Your Aff Off!" returns to The Z Playhouse in Mission Viejo, featuring Orange County favorite Fritz Coleman! Known for bringing weather and laughter to KNBC for over 35 years, Fritz is set to share his unique comedy style in Mission Viejo—a show not to be missed! Whether you're in it for the laughs or a weather update, Fritz has you covered.
Fritz Coleman, originally from Radnor, Pennsylvania, studied radio, television, and film at Salem University in West Virginia and Temple University in Philadelphia. He spent years as a comedian and disc jockey, eventually becoming a radio personality in Buffalo, New York. In 1980, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue stand-up comedy, and by 1982, he was KNBC's weekend weatherman, later becoming the weekday weatherman in 1984.
Beyond his weather career, Fritz has written and performed two one-man shows, The Reception and It’s Me! Dad! He received the 2004 EMA Community Service Award for his work with KNBC’s "4 Our Planet," a children's program. In addition to his stand-up comedy, he also appeared in one of Raymond Burr’s last Perry Mason films, The Case of the Telltale Talk Show Host, in 1993.
The 7:30 p.m. show is sold out, but tickets for the 5 p.m. show are still available. Get your tickets here: comedyintheoc.com
The Z Playhouse is located at 24196 Alicia Parkway, Suite M, Mission Viejo, CA.
