The Critics Rave

“The Food Chain at The Saidye Bronfman Centre features a hilarious performance by Sky Gilbert, founder of Toronto’s Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.”
— Pat Galloway

“Acteur très puissant, auquel sa corpulence donne des possibilités rares … massif mais léger comme une plume, il conquiert son public avec un naturel et un plaisir contagieux.”
— Solange Levesque, *Le Devoir*, May 1997

“Gilbert plays a convincing fat man, demonstrating a gift for physical comedy. He’s probably the funniest oreolicker in the country.”
