Kelly McCaughan brings her outrageous solo comedy "Catholic Guilt" to NYC's Caveat for one holy night.
Kelly McCaughan (HBO, Apple TV+) brings her outrageous solo comedy "Catholic Guilt" to NYC's Caveat for one holy night.
Through cringey personal recounts, stand-up adjacent clowny performance, and audience participation, Kelly's poignant and hilariously subversive show, nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2023 ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards, exposes the impossible standards of the Catholic Church. This show is for anyone who wants to release the shame and guilt surrounding religion.
