Comedy Jesus

Comedy's Answer to the Religious Right.

About Me

Jesus is currently touring comedy clubs and theatres around the US, and festivals around the world in The Comedy Jesus Show, answering questions, doing standup, and showing short videos to enlighten, entertain, and promote rational thought and freedom from the prison of religion. When I was here a couple thousand years ago, there was no powerpoint or "projection system" so now I'm taking full advantage.People take me so seriously just because of my death. So, stop with the wars, the "I'm on your side" talk, and just don't be a dick. That's it. Simple.Yes, I was wrongly imprisoned and executed on a trumped-up "sedition" charge. I officially take back most of what I said in the bible. Seriously, most of it doesn't apply anymore. The bible has expired. I'm writing a new one. Isn't it about time? In the new version, there's no hell in it to scare you into giving your money and your vote to people you think are leaders.THE COMEDY JESUS SHOW is also in post-production for the TV pilot and the feature film.The show consists of characters, multimedia, short films, standup, Q&A with Jesus, and more.If you want the show to play in your town, no matter how small, just drop a note and we'll make it happen.

My Interests

Love, psychology, politics, religion, Jesuses around the world. The work of Stanley Milgram, comics who tell the truth at their expense, and the happiness of dogs.

People who believe pit bulls are actually gods. Also, sinners, doubters, unbelievers, skeptics, people who love comedy, ex-christians, atheists, agnostics, ex-stalkers, rebels, people who question, freethinkers, and dreamers of dreams. Anyone who shares the idea of making the world a more rational place, and safe from invented beliefs that lead to killing people, both literally and figuratively.Also, The Yes Men.People who don't want to buy me as a pet. Really, now.
