Tomatoes Tried To Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life

Keith Alessi was neither a performer nor a musician before taking to the stage. He was an accountant and corporate CEO! He now shares his unconventional true story of overcoming great obstacles, including cancer and how the healing power of music brought him back home to himself. This show has been highly awarded and reviewed while touring internationally. Keith has never accepted any form of remuneration for his performances, instead choosing to donate it in the communities where we perform. As of March 2026, we have raised over $1.3 Million Dollars (CAD) for local charities.

This run is a limited engagement of 3 shows only and they are a special fundraiser supporting Victoria’s Theatre Community – Between Words, Victoria Theatre Collective, and  The Other Guise. All money from ticket sales will be supporting 3 local Theatre companies, and the Belfry Theatre has kindly gifted us with the theatre rental in order to support this fundraiser.
