Pope Benedict the IX

Benedict the Ninth (born 1012 AD) was the only person in history to be Pope more than once—and now he’s back for another try. In this unbelievable but true historical tale told through sketch, storytelling, and a dubious Italian accent, discover how an 18-year-old vapid gay party boy became the most powerful man in Europe... three times.

Pedro is a cast member of Channel Ten's "Thank God You're Here" and a key player in the award-nominated Soothplayers, known for  'Completely Improvised Shakespeare.'
