Many people have attended a comedy show that made them uncomfortable for one reason or another. In some instances, the organization wasn’t careful enough about making sure the material was appropriate for the audience. For example, members of a vegetarian group holding a dinner don’t want to hear jokes about meat. At a church-related event, Christians prefer family-friendly entertainment. Hiring a Christian comedian for the event is an effective solution.
An Entertainment Solution
Many Christians feel uneasy about the prevalence of stand-up humor focusing on sex, unhappy marriages, and other topics that don’t fit well with their faith. This is especially inappropriate at a gathering for fellowship, worship, and Bible-based learning. Yet the idea of having a stand-up comic there is appealing if only the group could find somebody suitable. A Christian comedian is the answer.
Examples of Material
This isn’t to say a Christian comic won’t make fun of marriage and family life. However, the material generally focuses on scenarios people in this audience can relate to. Life with teenagers or three little boys are examples of scenarios that can be very amusing without crossing any lines.
Satisfying Audience Expectations
During the presentation, there is no cursing or glorification of sin. The audience can expect not to hear jokes about premarital sex, extramarital affairs, drugs, intoxication, and other inappropriate topics.
The attendees will be impressed that the organization found someone who is so funny while focusing on clean comedy material. They may want to invite this individual back the next time they hold a large gathering.
