Cardinal Sins

Comedian Frank Hampster was unfortunate to have gone to Catholic School in Ballarat, Victoria. Eleven of his teachers and priests have done jail time as a result of their ‘teaching style’.

Frank recently emerged from testifying at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. As you do, he proceeded to write a comedy show about it. After an acclaimed run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Frank brings 'Cardinal Sins' to Adelaide for the first time. In it he tells some hilarious tales from the Commission and their attempt to force Cardinal George Pell back to Australia to face the music.

Frank also reveals the ‘How and Why’ of the hideous cover-up that led to the Commission, through jokes and impressions of what it was like to grow up in Ballarat under the control of the world’s largest paedophile ring.
