POSTPONED: Frandu
Bos Meadery 849 E. Washington Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
(2017 pick) If you’ve been to an open mic in Madison, chances are you’ve met Francisco Rodriguez, aka Frandu. This diminutive, possibly genius performer specializes in a unique mashup of comedy, spoken word and storytelling — it’s bizarre, frenetic, existential and always unique. His recurring one-man show, Frandutopia, extends his open mic set into a free-form, wide-ranging journey that will leave you saying, “What the freaking frack?”
