COMEDIAN and ABC podcast host Ange Lavoipierr­e, pictured, is bringing her new comedy show,

Zealot, to Hobart for the Fringe at the Edge of the World Festival 2020, from January 9-12. The show is an exploratio­n of the onetime true believer’s memories of God — from 10-year-old evangelist to fully fledged heathen. It follows the success of her debut show, Final Form, which won a Best Comedy Weekly Award at last year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival. Lavoipierr­e is co-host of the ABC’s daily news and current affairs podcast, The

Signal. She will perform Zealot on January 10 and 11, at Voodoo Bar, North Hobart. Bookings at trybooking.com
