The Comedy Reunion. THE FRANTICS, has now beeen released in November 2011. All material written and performed by, Paul Chato, Rick Green, Dan Redican and Peter Wildman. After endless touring, 120 half-tour radio shows for CBC, 13 episodes of 4 on The Floor and more than 10 comedy CD's, The Frantics present their 30th Anniversary DVD. The Frantics Reunion DVD is a first for the popular comdy troupe.

The DVD revisits old gems like, MR CANOEHEAD, PIECE OF PIE and TAI KWAN LEAP, the most requested comedy sketch two years running on DR. DEMENTO. New favourites includes their sleeper hit, HER FIRST PERIOD, which raked up over 4.5 million hits on the popular comedy website funnyordie.com.

Other featured footage on the DVD includes sketches from The Frantics Reunion Comedy Special (Comedy Network), The Frantics 30th Anniversary Show (Royal Theatre, Toronto, 2009) and rare footage from Bad Dog Theatre (Toronto).

There are many scenes on the DVD, and one in particular stands out: A TEENAGER`S WORST NIGHTMARE-a sex-education chat with parents (Rick and Peter) that volunteer TMI (too much information) to their son. If this is how parents tell their kids about sex, maybe we should it to the schools.

A great enjoyable DVD and after all those years laughing at the Frantics, and still today we can even laugh harder with their comedy. For those who love real comedy, check this DVD out by purchasing it. Go to their website, address posted above.
