After sold-out Edinburgh runs and an extended Off-Broadway run, Catholic Guilt comes toChurch of Clown.
Does daddy Jesus’s naked body on the cross make you wet? Spoiler alert: so will this show
(seriously, there’s water).
In this deranged, fractured church service, Kelly McCaughan unpacks everything from losing her
virginity in the most holy way to abortion to a bowling experience that leads to eternal
damnation, and everything in between. Blending clown and bouffon, Catholic Guilt is a high-
wire descent into sex, shame, and spectacle. Hang on tight - we’re riding sky daddy all the way to hell.
