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

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.
