About this show
High Desert. High Holy. High Stakes. Fringe Debut! Direct from Soho Playhouse, NYC. Wild Wild Christian is a hilarious, coming-of-age story about purity culture and spiritual awakenings. Based on childhood journals by award-winning comedian Simone McAlonen, the show picks up where the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country ends: when a notorious cult compound in rural Oregon is transformed into a wholesome Christian camp. Through her own spiritual journey, Simone explores the surprising links between American Evangelicalism and the current political climate. All while answering the most timeless theological questions.

As the hour came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel proud of McAlonen and her inner child for realising her dreams of becoming a star, because she really did shine.
