About Celestial Stageworks
Holy Matrimony is a new writing comedy show by Celestial Stageworks, performed at Space 1 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set at a speed dating event in a Catholic church, the show follows nine singles who are far from ready to mingle as their secrets, parish tensions and personal flaws rise to the surface. Described as a religious rom com, the show blends comedy, cream buns, queerness and catharsis from religious trauma. It runs for 45 minutes, is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over, and contains strong language.
Why see this show?
A queer religious rom com set in a Catholic church — Holy Matrimony finds both comedy and unexpected warmth in the tensions between faith, identity and the awkwardness of modern dating. Celestial Stageworks make it sharp, funny and genuinely affecting.
