FRANK OLIVER
FUNNY FRANK, aka Frank Olivier has been performing professionally for 20 years, and perfecting his craft since age 11. He has never known 'normal' work. Raised in a small country near San Francisco called 'Berkeley' (home of the 'Uni-Bomber'), the self taught Frank was soon a regular on SF television, playing with a small circus, and honing his technical skills. Upon graduating from high school, Frank Olivier attended Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Clown College.
Frank Olivier claims "It's the only college in the world where the class clown, and the most likely to succeed are both the same person!" He turned down a Ringling contract, returned San Francisco, and took to the streets, but at a good time. It was San Francisco's heyday of street perfoming and here he developed his unique wild brand of humor. He started playing the local comedy scene, and would often play on the same bill with folks like a young Dana Carvey, Robin Williams, Whoopie Goldberg, Bob Goldthwait and others. After Four years of streets and comedy clubs Frank Olivier took his first trip to New York. It was slated as a vacation, but after 4 days in the city, fate intervened. He fell into an audition and landed a role with Mickey Rooney & Ann Miller, in the Broadway hit 'Sugar Babies'. For the next three years he traveled the country with them, earning rave reviews, and a nomination for a 'Helen Hayes Award' (best supporting actor in a touring production). Soon 'The Tonight Show' was banging on his door, and after the routine he did with Johnny Carson lots more television, live shows, corporate dates, plus European tours, and more. "I have the best job in the world! This is what I'd always hoped I would be!" Frank Olivier spends about half his time touring and performing and the rest at his home in Oakland CA.
