About Cecilia Corrigan
The Gay Divorce is a character comedy by Cecilia Corrigan at Willow Studio during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A broken-hearted trophy wife watches her dream gay wedding disintegrate into a haunted, glitter-soaked cabaret of Barbie-dreamhouse rituals and romantic delusion. Described as a hilarious nightmare romcom featuring a witch, a co-dependent Jesus, and a very angry worm, the show riffs on bad exes, credit cards, convertibles, and the question of whether you might be gay. Running 60 minutes, rated 16+, it contains audience participation, distressing or potentially triggering themes, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A nightmare romcom that commits fully to its surreal vision — a glitter-soaked cabaret of delusion with a witch, a co-dependent Jesus, and a very angry worm. Strange, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt about romantic collapse.
