2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Ciarán Dowd: Padre Rodolfo
A year after Ciarán Dowd swashbuckled his way to the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer, he's back with another fantastic hour of non-stop gags. This time Don Rodolfo has put his life of murderous debauchery behind him and joined the priesthood, but luckily he's kept his swagger as he battles new demons.
World-famous lothario, swordsman and butthead Rodolfo is back! Following an unspeakable tragedy he turns his back on his lifestyle - rejects the sword, takes a vow of chastity and joins the priesthood. But as dark forces rise he must face personal demons and battle actual demons. A supernatural action-adventure and follow-up to the 2018 smash-hit Don Rodolfo. Winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer 2018. Nominated for Breakthrough Act at the Chortle Awards 2019. 'Comedy of the most ridiculous variety' **** (Guardian). 'The funniest show you will see this year' **** (Telegraph).
