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 tres puissant, auqel sa corpulence donne des possibilites rares (on l’imagine en Falstaff), il a du Fatty Arbuckle et du Woody Allen: subtil et etremement mobile dans ses expressions, massif mais leger comme une plume, il conquiert son public avec un naturel et un plaisir contagieux.”
Solange Levesque LE DEVOIR May ’97
“Gilbert plays a convincing fat man, demonstrating a gift for physical comedy. He’s probably the funniest oreolicker in the country.”
Janet Coutts THE MONTREAL GAZETTE May ’97
