Pittsburgh Magazine Newsletter “Gab Bonesso Bends Standup to her Will”
The City Paper Short List picks Comedy + Tragedy = Gab Bonesso
Pittsburgh’s Post-Gazette’s “2Do List” also picks Comedy + Tragedy = Gab Bonesso
Per Sean Collier’s After Dark Newsletter:

GAB BONESSO BENDS STAND-UP TO HER WILL
Comedian and performer Gab Bonesso—a former Best of the ’Burgh Reader’s Poll pick for Best Comedian—has long danced on the border of comedy, theater, performance art and general mayhem. Her style is so unique (and her material so singular and specified to her life) that branding it simple stand-up is off the mark; in performance, Bonesso is something else entirely, a whirlwind of humor, confession and theatrical abandon.
While she frequently performs at Brillobox and the Cabaret at Theater Square, her most involved and intense performances usually take place at Bricolage Theater, where Bonesso has found an outlet for the full range of her creativity. This Saturday, she takes to the stage with “Comedy + Tragedy = Gab Bonesso, A Comedy Show with Levels;” the one-woman show promises an hour of new material honed during the past year. She’ll be joined by musical guest Josh Verbanets and host John McIntire. (Bricolage Theater, 937 Liberty Ave., downtown. Sat., 8 p.m. $10. Info: webbricolage.org/node/798)
