Christian Comedians

Wow! It’s been almost a month since I posted. I know… that’s ridiculous. So, if you’re reading this, thank you for not giving up on checking it out over the last 4 weeks. My problem is I struggle with just sitting down to blog without a thought prompting me to do so. Several times over the last month I’ve logged on to my blog and just sat there. I began typing a few times, and it just wasn’t worthy. So, here we go…

So I’m at a company event last night and the opening entertainment was a “Christian comedian” named Jeff Allen . He was absolutely hilarious! I’ll be honest, I was a little concerned when I heard the phrase “Christian comedian.” I am a Christian… I love Jesus. However, my experience with Christian comics (and there have been many) has been forgettable. Seriously, the denominational jokes just aren’t funny… “If you’re a Baptist here tonight raise your hand… it’ll be the first time you raised your hand in church I know.” WHAT A RIOT! The bulletin and church sign jokes are tired… “Welcome to the First Baptist Church. If you’re here for the weight loss class, please use the DOUBLE DOORS around the side of the building.” HILARIOUS! Needless to say, I’m pretty jaded by Christian comedy.

However, my confidence in Christian comics was partially restored last night. This guy was hysterical! If you ever have an opportunity… Christian or not… to check this guy out, I suggest you do it!
