WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

If Jesus Christ returned to earth today, He would be stopped by U.S. Immigration because "He's a bearded, Middle-Eastern guy, prepared to die as a martyr." This is the premise behind Jesus: The Guantanamo Years - a controversial comedy from Irish comedian Abie Philbin Bowman. The show arrives direct from the West End in London, following SOLD OUT performances in Dublin, Belfast, Galway and Edinburgh.

In the show, Christ is detained under the Patriot Act and sent to Guantanamo Bay. In His first one-man show for almost two millennia, Jesus talks candidly about His time in Guantanamo, His relationship with His Father, and His on-going legal battle with Monty Python's Life of Brian.

- The Scotsman

"Displays superb humanity [...] destined to be a Fringe favourite [...] Miraculous. *****"
- The National Student
