On Friday, August 5, at 8 p.m., Suffolk Theater presents “God Is A Scottish Drag Queen,” a critically acclaimed show by award-winning comedian Mike Delamont .

Described as “A cross between Dame Edna and Billy Connolly with a dollop of Eddie Izzard” by Times Colonist, Delamont embodies the Almighty, dressed in a floral power suit, as he skewers everything from Justin Bieber to the pope in an unforgettable two-act comedy of biblical proportions. In this show, God has come down to clear up some misunderstandings and fallacies as a way to let off some steam about what humans have been doing and not doing. Delamont embodies this character with such ease that you actually start to believe his explanations for the many issues he discusses.

Tickets for “God Is A Scottish Drag Queen” are $49 to $59 at suffolktheater.com. Suffolk Theater is at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
