JEEZUS! is a bold, irreverent queer musical about faith, shame, and first love.

Set in a surreal Catholic universe, it follows Jesús, a young Peruvian altar boy preparing for his first communion. But instead of becoming a soldier of God, he falls in love—with JEEZUS! himself.

Blending Latin American rhythms, dark humour, and unholy amounts of camp, the show is a divine interrogation of sin, love, and the queer body.

Created by real-life couple Sergio and Guido, and our long term collaborator Laura, JEEZUS! has been in development for three years. After winning the 2025 Untapped Award, it will premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer

This show is for everyone who has ever felt caught between who they are and what they were told to believe. It is for queer people raised in religion. It is for Latinx migrants trying to feel seen. It is for anyone whose desire was ever labeled a sin.

In this moment of rising right-wing rhetoric and cultural erasure, JEEZUS! offers something vital. It is loud. It is sexy. It is defiant. It is healing. Stories like this build empathy. Voices like ours must be heard now, not later.

We are proud to be winners of the Untapped Award 2025, which secures our place at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer with Underbelly, Cowgate. What we need now is one final push. Your support will help us close our budget, meet this moment, and arrive in Edinburgh with everything we need to deliver the full power of the show.

As migrant artists, opportunities like this are rare. Supporting JEEZUS! means more than backing a single production. It means helping to propel our careers, to make space for underrepresented stories, and to build lasting networks of solidarity with other migrant-led shows at the Fringe and beyond.

JEEZUS! is created and performed by Sergio Antonio Maggiolo, with music and lyrics by Sergio and real life and scene partner Guido Garcia Lueches and directed and co-created by Laura Killeen.

This is our biggest project yet and our most personal.

Our production costs are partly covered by the Untapped Award but your support helps us cover what Fringe budgets often forget:

• Paying the team fairly (producing hours, rehearsals, performance, prep)
• New costume duplicates for daily Fringe shows 
• New choreography for our new song!
• Documenting the show for future touring

Every pound raised helps us take this show to the next level with pride, not burnout.
