Fritz and Friends Set for One-Night Show in Orange County

08.01.25

Fritz Coleman returns to the stage this summer with “Fritz and Friends,” a one-night-only comedy show at the Lake Forest Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.

A beloved figure across Southern California, Coleman is best known for his four-decade run as KNBC-TV’s weathercaster, where he earned six local Emmy Awards, appeared on The Tonight Show eight times, and shared the stage with legends like Bob Hope, Debbie Reynolds, George Benson, and Ray Charles.

Beyond the broadcast world, Coleman has long made audiences laugh with solo shows including The Reception and It's Me! Dad!—the latter produced for television by KCET. His current special, Unassisted Residency, holds the record as the longest-running show in the history of North Hollywood’s El Portal Theatre.

Now, he’s bringing the laughs to Orange County.

A Botanical Bug Spray That Smells Like Summer

07.29.25

Say goodbye to bug bites—and that unmistakable bug spray smell.

Gudrun Snyder, founder of Chicago’s Moon Rabbit Acupuncture, created a botanical bug repellent that doubles as an elegant eau de parfum. Inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, this functional fragrance blends Chinese herbs and essential oils to keep pests away—without harsh chemicals or synthetic scents.

The fresh, gender-neutral mist is crafted with fir needle, grapefruit, lemon eucalyptus, patchouli, sandalwood, jasmine, citronella, rose geranium, orange, vetiver, and Bi Cheng Qie (Litsea Cubeba), all in a base of organic cane alcohol.

I tried it at home and in my backyard, and I’m happy to report—it’s keeping the bugs away. It’s ideal for outdoor weddings, travel, daily wear, or nights spent under the stars. The DEET-free formula goes on clean—no greasy residue—leaving behind a warm, spicy veil that soothes the senses and repels bugs.

Also available as an essential oil roller.

Price: $35
