Full of Grace
Full of Grace follows Father Andrea, a very peculiar clergyman as he administers a very peculiar worship service. With hoses-down of holy water and parishioners caught somewhere between a Hail Mary and a Macarena, this 60 year-old Padre clearly grew up Catholic in the most Catholic country. He can't get you to Italy, but he might help get you to heaven.
Is he the right guide on the path to salvation? Come to find out - and repent of your sins!
From the creator of the award winning ‘Tonight! a clown who wanted to be loved?’ (★★★★ "A little spa break for the soul", The List), a new charming, absurd, and a little disturbing character, who will make you see church in a new light, reflect on its contradictions, and above all, have a good laugh about it.
Reviews & Fringe Feed Reacts
Barello is a great physical comedian and his antics consistently amusing. - Ilana Jael, Orlando Theater Review
The weirder the show gets, the better it gets. - Matthew J. Palm, Orlando Sentinel
Presented by: Andrea Barello
Andrea Barello, born and raised in Italy, approached the world of theater through improvisation. When he stumbled into clowning, he immediately knew he had found his home.
In 2023 he created Tonight!, his first solo show. Conceived and developed in Los Angeles, it was presented at Edinburgh Fringe, Toronto Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It has received great reviews and audience response, and won the ‘A Moontagna Fest award at Catania Fringe 2024.
Since 2024 he has collaborated with Clowns without Borders USA and Llaven nü Mexico, participating in humanitarian clown projects aimed at displaced and vulnerable populations.
In 2025 he began to work on his second show, Full of Grace, where he plays a peculiar priest struggling with moral dilemmas.
