THE best Groucho impersonation I've ever seen. He even moves his lips just like Groucho...I almost cried when he started "talking" to Harpo and Chico...

Frank Ferrante has been doing variations of this show for 24 years. It just keeps getting better with age. Thanks Mr Ferrante. See you in April.

Gabe Kaplan did this same play as Groucho in 1982 and was just phenominal.
