Every so often a character surfaces that seems
to touch the hearts of viewers, as much as Charlie Chaplin and Red Skeleton
made their audiences love them, to Frankie Pace the world is not only
a stage... it's a playground. It is rare that a comedian has this much
fun making others have fun! Frankie Pace's humor tends to be silly, but
it's infectious, reflecting his enjoyment of his comedic art. He's relaxed
and works the crowd with confidence. His haphazard approach is refreshing
and it accentuates both his simple gaga and friendly personality.
To attempt to define him is disastrous. Frankie
Pace, a former plumber who plunged into show biz as a stand up comic,
says, I used to do jokes and characters on the job to make the guys laugh.
He traded in his monkey wrenches and pipe cutters for a bag of tricks!
Or in Frankie's case, literally a suitcase full of props...
A standup comic, Frankie Pace is the direct
antithesis of everything a
standup comic is supposed to be. We can label
him an impressionist, but that's too easy. He does impressions of people
and things no one in his right mind would think of doing. Who goes around
imitating a CB radio channel, a lawn sprinkler, or the first astronaut
to sneeze during a space walk? At one point Pace suddenly and mysterious
begins to radiate a whiff of Chaplin. He is sad and we are laughing with
tears in our eyes, identifying with every one of his characters and reveling
in the total enjoyment of his set. Frankie Pace is... good news... good
people... good times.
