Kelly Bachman: Patron Saint

Kelly Bachman: Patron Saint

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2024

Patron Saint is an hour of stand-up about spirituality, sexuality, virality and why anyone is funny. More specifically, it's an hour of stand-up by Kelly Bachman, a comedian and rape survivor who found herself with sudden notoriety after encountering serial predator Harvey Weinstein at a comedy show in New York. Kelly was then asked to talk to CNN, The Guardian and a documentary called Hysterical on FX/Hulu, too. Years later, Kelly still hears one recurring question: 'Are you a comedian because of trauma?' Patron Saint aims to answer that question.
