Wild Wild Christian is a 50-minute solo alternative comedy show at Willow Studio, part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Performed by Simone McAlonen and produced by Midnight Flâneur, it is a coming-of-age story about purity culture and spiritual awakenings, based on McAlonen's childhood journals. The show picks up where the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country ends — when a notorious cult compound in rural Oregon is transformed into a wholesome Christian camp — and explores the links between American Evangelicalism and the current political climate. Tickets from £7.50, ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Based on Simone McAlonen's own childhood journals and picking up directly from a well-known documentary's setting, this solo show joins personal spiritual history to American political culture in a way that's both funny and genuinely curious. The 50-minute running time keeps it tight.
