Nadia Collins: Virgin Bloody Mary
FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026

Nadia Collins: Virgin Bloody Mary

Virgin. Christ-Maker. Thermomix Party Host.

The critically acclaimed, award-nominated VIRGIN BLOODY MARY returns to Perth.

After receiving a mission from God to conceive baby Jesus, Mary chooses the wrong sperm and everything holy hits the fan. It’s a mostly-silent clown show, which offers a dark, idiotic twist on a well-known story, with Virgin Mary as the ultimate anti-hero.

Created by Nadia Collins, unhinged French-trained clown and maker of The Bride (Winner, Best WA Comedy, FRINGE WORLD 2020), The Big Thingy and Chrysalis.

“Holy Mary, Mother of God – this batsh*t hour of bizarre physical comedy makes blasphemy a blast… Genius.” ★★★★ Chortle

“Bold, light, experimental and always silly” ★★★★★ The West 

Nominated Best Newcomer at Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2018
