" Kalish is charming, funny, and possessed of the winning self-confidence of a New York “theatre kid”, but she’s also got a special off-the-cuff quality that makes the audience warm to her almost instantly."

"Kim Kalish gives a performance most actors only dream of. Her one woman show is real, raw, and very human. She transports you out of your shoes and into her soul with a story of love, loss and most importantly the hope that comes from humor."

Tom DeSanto
Filmmaker -X-men, Transformers
