This is a lengthy show, and I appreciate how much Alicia works for it... but I found only bits of it funny. Perhaps I just had a hard time relating to her "search." Maybe I would have felt differently had I known what the chants meant... I don't know. Gauging from the audience, it felt like an off night.Written on Mar 25 2010

I thought that she did an excellent job with her energy level and keeping us engaged. There was a lot of smart humor and a few poignant moments. I enjoyed listening to her story and I will remember some of the lines and "issues" she went through.Written on May 09 2010
About the opening act, it was indeed quite a contrast between their performance and hers. I think people should be open to new things. I found the music relaxing and beautiful. It is too bad that there were some immature and rude people in the audience who talked during most of the music.
Back to Alicia, I would certainly see another one of her shows. And you could talk to her after which I think speaks a lot about a performer.

I liked the show and had a lot of belly laughs. Alicia is a talented performer and gives her all in this performance. I would recommend it for those who are looking for a light fun show about different cultures - like Jewish and Indian, and others in between. Some of it is hilarious.Written on Mar 25 2010

Description
Due to overwhelming public demand, stand up comic and solo artist Alicia Dattner, winner of SF Fringe's 2008 "Best Female Solo Act," and who recently returned to the Bay Area after a world tour with stops in London and Mumbai, extends her award winning solo show Eat, Pray, Laugh! at the Off-Market Theaters.
Eat, Pray, Laugh!, directed by Katie Rubin, chronicles Alicia's three-month solo trip across India in search of spiritual salvation – as fate would have it, the trip looks nothing like she imagined. From seductive French yoga teachers to scary Indian toilets, Alicia dishes on everything including the Italian fashion exporter with a Krishna fetish and mosquitoes the size of small ponies, to Chabad Jews on the Ganges and ultimately, the true meaning of mustaches and masala chai.
After a knockout world premiere run at this year’s SF Fringe, Alicia took Eat, Pray, Laugh! on the road and across the pond. Stops included London, England, as well as Mumbai and Tiruvanamalai, India, where she incorporated a spirited round of kirtan chanting with the audience into the performance. Each performance of Alicia's newly revamped show comes complete with a complimentary and delicious cup of chai (tasty Indian tea) and prasad (an offering of sweets). Eat, Pray, Laugh! is part of the kick-off to Solo @ Off-Market in 2010.
A graduate of filmmaking and screenwriting at Hampshire College, Alicia has been performing standup for over a decade, sharing the stage with funny, talented comics such as Bill Santiago, Eugene Mirman, Arj Barker, W. Kamau Bell, Vanda Mikoloski, and Amy Stiller. Alicia is a regular at Cobb's Comedy Club and The Punch Line in San Francisco, and has performed at The Improv and the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, as well as Gotham Comedy Club in New York and Gut Rocking Comedy in London. Alicia has also published a hilarious self-help book, Getting Shit Done, and started and ran a circus called The Latest Show on Earth which toured nationally. She is a creativity coach, laughter yoga teacher, and transformational workshop leader. http://www.aliciadattner.com
Katie Rubin received her MFA in Acting from UC Davis and earned her BA in Theater and Dance at Amherst College; Her first solo show, Insides OUT! received a nine week production at The Sacramento Theater Company in March and April of 2006.
