Described as “one of the best hours I’ve ever spent at the Fringe” [The Coast (Halifax)], with five-out-of-six shows SOLD OUT at the 2017 Edmonton Fringe Festival, “Perk up, pianist!” tells the tale of a touring classical musician remaining optimistic in the midst of challenging and ridiculous situations. “Her comic timing is as solid as her musical meter.” [The Edmonton Journal]
With her dry wit and deadpan delivery, Sarah Hagen pairs anecdotes with music to transform from her role as an award-winning concert pianist into a stand-up, or rather sit-down, comedienne. "Perk up, pianist!" is a uniquely charming music and storytelling experience that takes you deep inside the world of a touring classical musician.
