September 6, 2025
"This is an hour of pure joy."
THEATRE WEEKLY (EDINBURGH)
August 5, 2025
"It’s poignant, hopeful and utterly compelling, avoiding sentimentality and mawkishness — and I defy you not to have a tear in your eye at key points."
5 STARS-North West End UK
August 4, 2025
"Anyone who loves an underdog story, step this way and be ready to laugh and weep in equal measure."
Audience Feedback
An amazing journey presented here - very touchy and powerful story told in a very intimate theater...makes you look, as Keith Alessi suggests, in your closet...and forward through the windshield...This is an authentic and not-to-be missed!!!
Very well done- humorous, poignant, excellent.
Heartfelt personal experience, like a Moth story hour. Good story teller. I will leave it up to the listener if he/she wants to hear about a personal journey.
