Keith Alessi's one-man show, “Tomatoes Tried to K*ll Me But Banjos Saved My Life”, has garnered critical acclaim, receiving five-star reviews and achieving sold-out performances during its Off-Broadway run in 2019. The show continued its success with multiple sell-outs at both the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and across North America. Through this performance, Alessi shares his transformative personal story, detailing his path from a corporate CEO to a cancer survivor, and ultimately, a banjo player whose music and storytelling have inspired audiences worldwide.Over 370 performances and counting, the show has raised over $1 million Canadian for charities worldwide—literally turning hardship into hope. Now, it returns to Southwest Florida, bringing a message of hope and inspiration to The Lab’s stage.
