Catch A Rising Star is pleased to welcome New England’s Premiere Comic Hypnotist, Frank Santos!! Join the hilarious Frank Santos and your host Frank O’Donnell each and every Friday night starting September 12 at 10:15pm!!

Frank Santos, New England's Premiere Hypnotist and innovative comedian has been mesmerizing audiences for over 21 years. His spectacular display of mind bending antics can turn any skeptic into a fan. His act is always fresh, racy, and like the swirls of a fingerprint, no two shows are the same. The audience becomes the show. When Frank performs, you are not merely an idle bystander vicariously absorbing an out-of-date comedy routine. This is the only show where you can fall asleep, fall in love, or become a stud, and then awake feeling well rested and completely refreshed. Frank has a show for every occasion. He can read his audience and adjust the tone of his performance to please every appetite. Frank Santos will make a believer out of you!

Mission Statement

Catch A Rising Star is a nationally known trademark and forum, recognized for over thirty-five years for launching the careers of some of America’s most popular and beloved television and film stars, top comedians, comic actors, musicians, directors, producers and writers.

There are only a few brand names that are so synonymous with comedy that when you hear them you immediately think of quality entertainment, talented artists, and funny star makers, i.e., Second City, National Lampoon, Saturday Night Live and Catch A Rising Star. “Catch” as it is affectionately called in the entertainment industry, first opened its comedy club doors in New York City in 1972.

“Catch” is the only comedy club that has ever had two major network television specials produced about it. “Catch A Rising Star’s 10th Anniversary” on HBO and “Catch A Rising Star’s 25th Anniversary” on CBS. Both shows were commercial successes, packed with illustrious alumni of talent.

Catch A Rising Star has a well-established reputation, long-term relationships with talent, managers, agents, producers and network executives. The inherent synergy of these business initiatives help to create the finest comedy shows at “Catch.”

Catch A Rising Star’s reputation and commitment to excellence has made us a leader in the industry. The managing partners of Catch A Rising Star are each recognized for their extensive experience in entertainment and finance and are individuals considered to be the finest professionals in the industry. With this team’s emphasis on the development of the Catch A Rising Star trademark, nationally and internationally, Catch A Rising Star will continue to celebrate the esteem title of “the premier comedy & music club in the nation.”
