Have you ever wondered what you would do if you inherited a large sum of money or won the lottery? Well - Frank Lash has spent the better part of his life asking himself that question. Frank Lash has seen his fair share of troubles in life, love, work, and especially family! Following the death of his stepmother, his inheritance has been freed, and Frank has more money than he can spend in a lifetime.
So - what's next? The question brings Frank to a crossroad in life. What is his purpose? How does he spend the money?
In one hilarious, outrageous night, “Just Frank” takes the audience on an incredibly funny and poignant journey through Frank’s life choices.
In this 90 minute show, Frank treats the audience to more than just a good time, he serves them treats, coffee, and Lactaid for the lactose intolerant. (Frank’s not a fan of a flatulent audience. It’s a long story...)
