Tomatoes Tried To Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life is a heartfelt passion project that began as an idea in March 2018, not long after a devastating life event caused Keith Alessi to think differently about his future.
In 2019 Keith entered ten Fringe Festival lotteries across Canada, the US, and the UK, and was accepted into eight!
The 2019 tour kicked off by winning three awards at the Frigid Fringe Festival in NYC, and continued to gain traction, winning awards, incredible reviews, sellout runs, and holdover shows in multiple cities along the way. The year was capped off when the show was selected to participate in the Fringe Encore Series, Off Broadway, at the Historic Soho Playhouse in NYC. The series featured 18 "Best Of" shows selected from Fringe Festivals worldwide.
Putting accolades aside, the most amazing part of the journey has been seeing how the show connects to people on a deep and personal level. There are many messages to take away.
