Ange Lavoipierre: Zealot
A show about God, religion and forgiveness, told with bones, Krampus and the Blue Google Maps dot. Award-winning comedian and ABC journalist Ange Lavoipierre charts the course from 10-year-old evangelist to fully-fledged heathen.
Most of the ways God was explained to her inspired yet more questions. Does Santa believe in himself? Whomst amongst us will go to heaven? And is the blue Google Maps dot sentient? 'Zealot' has answers and will give you plenty to believe in.
