The Reviews Are In!
Check out what the critics are saying about the show!
Winnipeg Free Press: "Using a mixture of humour (yes, there are banjo jokes), observations, self-reflection and music, Alessi’s inspirational and compelling tale will pluck at your heartstrings, clawhammer style."
Vancouver Presents: “Fringe review: Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life is an intimate and affecting show.”
The Paper (Fupaper.blog) New York City
"An honest telling of one man’s journey. Alessi’s performance manages to be warm, tear-jerking, and humorous all at once – a gem in New York City’s off-off-Broadway scene."
Theatre Is Easy (New York City): "Keith Alessi's Italian-Canadian corporate-to-banjo story is thoroughly entertaining."
"Alessi's story is straightforward, vulnerable, heartwarming, and full of traditional “old time” music of the Southern United States."
Sherpadoo.com (Vancouver): “Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me, But Banjos Saved My Life is a show in the true spirit of Fringe. The performance will put a smile on your face, leaving you glad and happy.”
#FringeDuJour: 20 shows not to miss at this year’s Vancouver Fringe Festival
Katie’s Picks: “If the name isn’t enough to grab your attention, maybe you will be happy to hear that this show is for all ages. And the tomatoes are evil.”
