BOOTH
& PAT AT DON'T TELL MAMA TWO THURSDAYS IN FEBRUARY After successful shows in November, December and January,
comic singers Booth Daniels and Patrick Frankfort return with their
musical-comedy duo act on Thursdays, February 21st & 28th at 9:00
pm at DON'T TELL MAMA . Born out of a bitterness that can only come
from years of children's theatre and insomnia, Booth Daniels and
Patrick Frankfort decided to put their decade of friendship and
bizarre conversations into a conglomerated duo act - part comedy,
part song with just a touch of the off-kilter. With original songs
and covers, they promise an evening of quirky entertainment, which
is melodic, spontaneous, warped, but most of all, funny.
