A Night With Pastor Ace
Image: by Tom Kelly
Darwin Fringe 2023 Award Winner
A sacrilegious musical comedy about growing up queer in the evangelical church. With original songs on ukulele, a power presentation, and flying... sex toys, “Pastor” Ace will take you on their journey of almost becoming a pastor, but becoming a queer musical comedian instead.
Join Pastor Ace in their hilarious and heartwarming journey of finding queer joy despite every effort to pray the gay away.
Ace R L is a Darwin based musical comedian, and has performed at Darwin Fringe Festival 2022 and 2023, Palmerston Pride Festival, Palmerston Youth Festival, and has performed in a Top End Pride comedy gala alongside comedy geniuses Anna Piper Scott and Grace Hogan.
Ace's solo show, "A Night With Pastor Ace", was a hit at Darwin Fringe Festival 2023 and won the "Spirit of the Fringe" award!
