Keith Alessi plays the banjo. Keith Alessi also tells jokes. However, Keith Alessi is not Steve Martin.
The Frigid Festival at The Kraine Theater has been in existence for 16 years and what better month than February to put it on!
SASKATOON - After having to cancel last year due to the pandemic, the Fringe Festival has returned with a new format. The 10-day festival(opens in a new tab) includes 21 on-demand digital performances as well as 15 in-person theatre groups.
Audience Feedback
I went to see this because I like banjo music, but it was infintely more than that. The personal story of how a love of music can raise you from the worst that life can do. Highly recommended!
That was, without doubt, the finest fringe-style show I have ever seen. It was sensational in every important way. The subject was compelling. The script was carefully crafted: there was not one surplus word, and there were a number of clever connections to earlier moments. The use of tomatoes and banjos for life’s challenges and victories is nothing short of brilliant. It was poignant, moving, funny and uplifting. And your storytelling superb. It was so impressive."
Nice Loved this show! Riveting and profound. Live life to the fullest."
