Full of Grace 

Saturday, February 7th / Doors at 7:30 / Show at 8pm

Created and Performed by Andrea Barello

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.

Andrea Barello, born and raised in Italy, approached the world of comedy via improvisation. He performed in many ensembles, including the Turkish-Italian duo Euro Trash. When he stumbled into clowning, he immediately knew that he had found his home. Tonight! is his first solo show. In 2025 he began to develop a new show, Full of Grace, where he plays a peculiar priest struggling with an unusual service and moral dilemmas. Since 2024 he has started a collaboration with Clowns without Borders (USA) and Llaven nü (Mexico), and participates in humanitarian clown projects aimed at displaced and vulnerable populations. He lives in Los Angeles, where he hikes in the Hollywood hills and creates silly clown acts.
