An Autistic Priest and a Dog
If I was to simply list the topics explored in this show in point form it would seem bizarre and all all over the place, but the soul of it is in the life that binds all the disparate pieces together. It's playful, and sassy, and does a really interesting job of exploring personal faith without being a sermon. Also I love that I could spend the whole show colouring with crayons on the program. Wish I had brought a hard surface along. Bonus: Rilla is a star
One of my fav of the 14 shows we saw, says the atheist. Educational, generous, sweet, funny, politically spot on. Well written and performed!
Jean-Daniel has a unique and poignant way of reminding the audience that being a human means containing multitudes and that is the most wonderful thing about us. The fantastic mish-mash of the various identities, histories, and interests of this character and his witty observations will have you laughing, leaning-in, tearing up, and your heart will be thoroughly warmed. I found myself falling in love with the brilliance and beauty of neurodivergence, queerness, and progressive faith over and over again. Not a show to be missed!
A clever, funny, poignant, and heart-warming take on our need to challenge assumptions and love more. A great little gem to add to your Fringe watch-list!
