Best Cult Ever

Overview

Lifelong Mormon housewife turned standup comedian, Leah Renee gets so many questions about her former faith so she made this show for anyone who loved Book of Mormon musical and is ready for a second helping of silly songs, raucous music and deep cut Mormon trivia traditionally only found in the darkest corners of the ex-Mo subreddit.

Put on your magic underwear and come for the silliest hour about Mormonism at Fringe. We’ll let you in the doors even if you drink coffee and don’t pay your tithing.

“Funny, daring and quite surprising in places with laugh out loud moments of wryness, poignancy, shock and tenderness.”
