Assisted by a fearless and agile band, Jason spontaneously creates a character, a life story and an entire evening of original songs, all based on audience suggestions. Showstoppers, character songs, trifles, segues, backstories - Jason Makes it all up in real time, off the top of his nimble and slightly demented brain, to the amazement of his audience.

" I cannot recommend Jason Kravits highly enough." - Gerry Geddes, Bistro Awards

"His lyrics are so clever, and so complex (not just simple rhymes) that you find yourself forgetting that it's being made up in the moment. Seeing him perform comedy is magic." - Evan Seplow, Stage Buddy
