Chris Marlton - American Pope
You've never been to a church like this before!
Join New York club comic Marlon M'Logne as he takes you along with him for a regular Sunday in the city... or is it? When Marlon agrees to visit his sister's Catholic Mega-Church he embarks on a wild and hilarious adventure, and you're coming along for the ride.
Chris Marlton is one of Australia's leading character comedians. In American Pope you'll see Chris' character, Marlon M'Logne go to a musical, buy a gun, and meet the most outrageous and hilarious priest you've ever seen, Father Theodore Maddox, who puts the Theo into theology.
Theatre Travels called Marlton’s performance “a transformative experience,” and “a tasty bit of theatre magic.” There’s no comedy show like it, make sure you experience it too this Adelaide Fringe.
Presented by: Chris Marlton
I’m a character comedian, having performed as 7 characters in my first solo, and then three characters in the four subsequent shows. My 2025 show will be the first where I’m attempting to tell a single narrative from the perspective of one character (though with a middle section where I’m someone else in the same story).
I’m based in Canberra, where I work my day job, and run multiple comedy nights each month.
I was recently interviewed by Tom Gibson about my latest special I filmed at the Canberra Theatre Centre: https://tomgibsoncreative.com/chris-marlton-youre-part-of-the-story/
In September this year I released my third hour special MOONLIGHT PILOT on YouTube: https://youtu.be/P6QaVmzp3Xg
