[1] He was named best actor at Winthrop High School and acted in Summer stock theatre in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
In 1959, WHDH purchased the rights to Bozo the Clown from Larry Harmon and Avruch won the role.
Avruch taped 180 episodes of Bozo’s Big Top for national syndication.
[1] When WCVB-TV went on the air in 1972, he became the station's booth announcer, performing on-air commercials and promos.
That December, finding it difficult to compete with cable networks, especially after Turner Broadcasting acquired the MGM library that WCVB-TV had long been using, the station canceled Great Entertainment.
Avruch remained with the station as its announcer and an on-air personality for special events and occasional news stories.
[12] Following his retirement, Avruch launched his own website – Frank Avruch: Boston's Man About Town (www.bostonman.com), which, like the “Man About Town” segments he did for WCVB-TV news, provided information on special events, hotels, restaurants, museums, and theaters in Boston.
[13] He also hosted a classic movie series at the Wang Center for the Performing Arts and the Coolidge Corner Theatre, did voice over work, and represented WCVB-TV at public functions.
