OUT OF THE FRYING PAN
by Francis Swann
Live at Watson’s Mystery Café & Spirits
📅 February 20 & 21, 2026

Turn up the hairspray and rewind the VHS — this classic farce just got totally tubular!

Watson’s is bringing Francis Swann’s Out of the Frying Pan to the neon-soaked 1980s, where three wannabe actors are sharing an apartment above a big-shot Broadway producer (think shoulder pads, synth beats, and way too much Aqua Net). When they cook up a crazy plan to land their big break, it all spirals into a high-energy mix of mistaken identities, romance, and pure comedic chaos.

It’s fast-paced, flirtatious, and funnier than a mullet in a wind tunnel — a feel-good throwback packed with punchlines, power suits, and pure farce.

🍸 Dinner. Drinks. Big Hair. Bigger Laughs. Classic Comedy Done Right.
