Okay, now I think I’ve performed everywhere! My recent gig took me to Brooklyn, on Surf Avenue and 12th street…to the home of the famed Cyclone Roller Coaster, Nathan’s Hotdogs, freaks, wonders and human curiosities…Yes, this past weekend I, Fran Capo, the Tsunami of Talk, performed in the heart of Coney Island at the “Sideshow by the Seashore” theater. (Say that fast three times.)

We did 100 block walks together, kissed penguins, exercised with seals, shot a reality show and developed a new series of talks called, "Success Made Simple", so it only made sense that John Basedow and I would agree to appear together in the weekend long Health, Fitness and Beauty Expo at Hoftra University out on Long Island to sign autographs and lend our name to this cool event, along with NYWC wrestlers.

The purpose of the Expo was simple - to bring a variety of new and exciting products in this field under one roof. This was the brainchild of Donna and Barry of www.NewYorkExpos.com. This expo promised gift certificates to salons, a day of beauty, giveaways and sales, and for the adventurer like me...great adventure tickets and a thirty-foot climbing wall.

I knew this Easter was going to be different. Usually the whole Capo clan and friends gather at my house (remember, holidays are the only time I like to cook) and we have the Easter egg hunt, our games of charades, dancing, music and just a grand ole time.

I get asked to do a variety of projects, which is great because it certainly keeps life interesting. The best project for me is one that can get huge media exposure, incorporates humor, motivates people, doesn't require any memorizing, hits a topic I care about, and where I can be myself. (Oh yeah, and it's great if it pays well too.)

Well lucky for me, such a project recently came my way via casting agent, Donna McKenna (Yes, the same agent who got me involved with my dramatic debut in the "Write to Heal" play).

Donna submitted me along with two other actors (yes, I am now in that category) to be the host/spokesperson of an anti-smoking documentary called, "Breaking the Habit: You Can do it!" I was chosen out of the group because of my comedy background and ability to work on the fly. The best part was when Donna said, "And guess what...after seeing your website and reading your blog...they said that you could improvise most of the script" Translation...you don't have to memorize script! Now that's Capo heaven.
