God Is A Scottish Drag Queen (All New)
Direct from London's West End, the award-winning fringe hit returns with an all-new show! Edmonton's favourite Scottish deity, dressed in a floral power suit, is back to expound on everything from fish bowls to therapy in an all new and hilarious night of comedy.
As always, a gut busting set that also leaves room for some poignant introspection. There's really not a lot more that I can say, but I implore anyone to check out this act whenever it comes to town - even outside of Fringe!
Divine Wisdom in a Floral Set By Augustus Williams
You don’t need a church to talk to God - at the Fringe all you need is the Garneau Theatre. The stand up comedy spectacular returns again this year, and God is more ready than ever to critique the world. God is a Scottish Drag Queen (All New) begins with the belief that everything we need to get through life, we learned in kindergarten. God muses on sharing, hygiene, and all the other basics that were being taught in pre-K, and how perhaps we’ve forgotten a little too much of it. Family troubles, political decline, and technological overlords are all victims of the clever act, written by Mike (God) and Chantelle Delamont. The show had the audience roaring with laughter just as often as it had us squirming in our seats out of just how hard God makes us face reality. On a stage like the Garneau, God is faced with a large stage to fill for a one person show, but fill it he certainly does. An element of the show that aided this was the tightly rehearsed projection work, which delivered some huge visual punchlines. The show was stage managed by Chantelle Delamont, and it’s clear these two have been working as a team for a long time, on many different stages. God is a Scottish Drag Queen (All New) is a riotous piece of comedy that will have any theatre-goer laughing so hard they see God; on stage in front of them, delivering the jokes.
