Equal-parts classroom-style discussion, interactive late-night talk show, pop concert, dance party, and stand-up comedy special, Gab Bonesso's GAB SQUAD is an experience unlike any other!

Based in Pittsburgh, performer Gab Bonesso has spent the last six years traveling the U.S. with a series of unique and interactive musical comedy programs for children, teens, and families.  Her work has been featured in over 800 school, community, church, camp, library, and festival locations across fifteen U.S. States, and has directly engaged an estimated 400,000 youth, educator, and adult participants in the process.  

Gab has appeared on CBS and PBS television for her efforts, received regular airplay on renowned radio stations such as WXPN Kids Corner and WYEP-FM with her music, garnered national press and awards for her live appearances, and has partnered with organizations such as Reading is Fundamental, American Eagle Outfitters, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and many more.  GAB SQUAD programs utilize original music, interactive comedy, and educational discussion to explore themes of tolerance, positive expression, bullying awareness, and above all, the use of creativity as an alternative to negative expression.
