Homeless Romantic

I thoroughly enjoyed "Homeless Romantic". Tony brings such a vulnerability and truthfulness to his show that has you laughing one minute and crying the next. He doesn't sugarcoat the realities of life on the streets, but rather finds the humor and upsides in the painful moments. Watching this show was a cathartic experience that I will not soon forget. ... full review

Tony is great and very funny. You live Tony's life while you are watching him. You see that he is very funny in detailing his life and you will not stop laughing. You see Tony as a survivor and you see both Tony's humor and spirit as a person. This is a show you must see. You will enjoy it and laugh your head off. I would have written this review earlier, but I was having a Kidney Stone attack and did not pass the stone until today. (This is in fact true, no joke.) ... full review

Passionate, authentic, funny and sad, Tony Bartolone presents his life story in Homeless Romantic. His comic chops combined with his willingness to share his personal struggles force us to see and process the most harrowing details. This is a view of LA most look away from. But there's no looking away from a fatherless boy grown into a homeless man. And the one with the most unflinching eye is Tony himself.... full review

The show was a poignant, hilarious, and beautiful exploration of the depths of human experience. I laughed, I cried, I felt more connected to humanity. What more could you want? ... full review

A heartfelt personal journey filled with laughs.... full review
