I knew when I went to see Andrea Abbate in her one woman show, I would be in tears from laughing. I never expected the tears to be from crying. Andrea managed to open her heart and share herself in the most genuine, emotional, moving, painful, yet hilarious way… it was masterful. Thank God she was blessed with a sense of humor, and thank God we were blessed with Andrea Abbate. ...

Dark jokes galore. Andrea's excellent writing makes the incredibly painful personal experiences she shares so much more palatable for the audience. ...

Andrea uses her incredible comedic timing and storytelling talents to walk us through her struggles and triumphs. I never knew where her story was going, and I loved that I was surprised every step of the way. A big laugh would be followed by a delicate, heartbreaking moment, and I found the way she told this journey to be wildly effective. It was a deeply vulnerable performance that will stay with me for a very long time. ...

I have seen Andrea do stand up, which I loved, and I was expecting the material to be very blue (which it was). When I heard she was doing a one woman show, I hoped she wouldn’t be disguising a stand up act as a one woman Fringe show. Well, it wasn’t.
While there was certainly a lot of humor, this one hour gem of a performance was packed with stories that made me squirm…until she made me laugh again. It was certainly a delicate balance of heartfelt reveal of a life not experienced by many and funny moments weaved brilliantly together.
One of her lines was, “I paid $3,000 for these” (pointing at her breasts). I can only wonder what she paid for those giant balls she needed to tell her story....

Andrea is absolutely fearless, dangerous, funny, insightful and deep. From the moment she opened her mouth - beguiling us with the most twisted and delicious stories - I was IN! The brave way she lest us in to her life and point of view is super generous. I fee better for knowing her better through her show!...
