It’s a Wonderful Life, 70s Christmas Special, Starring The Fonz
Written by Frank Capra ripped off by Rob Nash | Presented by the VORTEX

VORTEX presents the Rob Nash’s World Premiere of It’s a Wonderful Life, 70s Christmas Special Starring The Fonz. Recently voted Best Stand-up Comic in the Austin Chronicle’s 2004 Best of Issue, Rob now turns his talents to a delicious send-up of Frank Capra’s yuletide classic, It’s a Wonderful Life.” This will be the third time Nash has collaborated with a dead guy (the other two were Shakespeare and Dickens).

Rob will be moving back to LA come February
so this will be his farewell production.

It’s a Wonderful Live 70s Christmas Special Starring The Fonz, marks the second totally family-friendly Nash show in his 19 years in this business we call show. Yes, it’s true. Profanity-free!!! Bring Grandma and the kids and enjoy some live Christmas comedy at its best.
