Stage preview: Confrontational comedy makes its Pittsburgh debut at CLO Cabaret

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The play making its Pittsburgh debut at CLO Cabaret wears its heart on the marquee: "You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up!" shouts "confrontational humor!" before you discover for yourself that it's about a husband and wife navigating relationship land mines while showing off skills in the art of one-upmanship. The tomayto-tomahto couple of the comedy are Annabelle and Jeff. She is a witty woman, very much in love with her husband, competitive to a fault and of the opinion that she is always right. Always. Jeff is a sweet-natured optimist with a quick wit who adores his wife and just wants to make her happy, which he does. Occasionally.
