After a sold-out season at their first Edinburgh Fringe Festival, two Illawarra-based performers are now home and ready to bring their show to local audiences.

It's a very limited two-show season at Coniston's Phoenix Theatre later this month and Malika Elizabeth Rees and Lilli Rodrigues-Pang can't wait to share the love with local fans.

After performing their edgy show, Church of the Clitori, to rave reviews at the Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne Fringes, Malika and Lilli decided to chance their arm to see if they could achieve similar success internationally.

Their first European shows were at France's huge Avignon Festival, the perfect warm-up for their debut at the world's biggest fringe in the Scottish capital.

Malika, the current Wollongong Citizen of the Year, was thrilled that Edinburgh audiences embraced the show, which she says "tackles shame, celebrates pleasure and uplifts body anatomy and First Nations voices through comedy, cabaret and radical education. Think Sex in the City wrestling with The Book of Mormon in a glittery jungle." 

So how was the overall experience for Malika and Lilly? "We were really heartened by the warm reception we got," Malika said. "The Edinburgh crowd really seemed to get our sense of humour. We had enthusiastic and appreciative audiences."

And it seems the highly entertaining duo are ready for a repeat season.

"It was a bit of a teaser and we look forward to going back next year for two weeks, and maybe the year after for the full run."

Based on the rave reviews they received on their debut, our leading ladies will surely be welcomed back with open arms. Check out this five-star review from Broadway World.

"Prepare to be indoctrinated into your new favourite cult. This show is exactly as it says on the tin: a pseudo-religious service with all the elements to make up (or make fun of) a church. Organ music and an abundance of pink fabric sets the scene, and despite it being a wildly unfamiliar environment, the actors do a wonderful job of embracing their new congregation, It is as ridiculous and depraved as you might expect but hilariously crafted in its crassness." 

The pitch to Illawarra audiences for their Coniston Phoenix Theatre shows on Friday, 26 September at 7.30pm and Saturday, 27 September at 2pm is simple.  

"The Church of the Clitori is back. Two mums from Wollongong take a different approach to holiness in their church. A satirical, comedy, musical cabaret with fun for everyone (as long as they're over 16, or at least 14)."

Tickets are $20 and $15 concession.
