How would you use an Outreach Comedy Event at your church?

People love to laugh!

Comedy provides the perfect opportunity for churches, schools, radio stations, ministries, and para-church organizations to build each other up in Christ and attract non-Christians. Laughter is a unique and effective tool for outreach, team building, and entertainment.

Comedy is a Great Tool to Reach Your Community!

  • Comedy has universal appeal - Unlike more subjective mediums (music, drama, etc.) everyone enjoys comedy.

  • Comedy crosses boundaries - Generational, cultural, gender, and especially secular barriers.

  • Comedy lowers guards - When people laugh together they are more receptive to new ideas.

  • Comedy is unifying - Laughter opens the door to influential relationships, building a shared bond and positive memories.

 

[We host] a comedy Improv night where we challenge our congregation to invite their unconvinced friends. The result? Each time we have had at least 50% of our audience filled with individuals outside the church.

Shawn, Richmond Christian Fellowship


[Your comedian] opened up our group with laughter and reached across the diversity in our group to find something that we could all relate to. He not only made us laugh; he affirmed the mission that we are dedicated to.

Marsha, Wycliffe Associates


30+ kids responded and gave their lives to Christ. Everything was great... He opened the door for us to reach into our community and speak life to a people who would not otherwise listen.


Jason, 1st Assembly of God

I had asked a friend who did not know the Lord to accompany me that night. I believe her opinion of "church-going people" was changed that night. She realized that Christians can be fun-loving and God-loving at the same time. Since that night my friend has accepted Jesus Christ into her heart.

Jody, Liberty Bible Church

 

[He] was excellent! He engaged people across a spectrum of ages. He was exactly what we hoped for.


Lori, First Baptist Church


Our people loved the fact that they could invite their neighbors, friends, family and colleagues to an event where the love of Christ is presented in a way that enhances their relationships. They are able to leave the evening with a smile on their face and something familiar to converse about.

Shawn, Richmond Christian Fellowship

Once again I am so thankful for the creative, energetic and dependable ministry you provide. As usual, we were "wowed" and amazed at the crew you sent.

Rondalyn, Whittier Area Community Church

There was never a pause or any deliberation over where he was going next; never a flat moment when something didn't connect with the audience. timing, delivery and facial expressions are phenomenal.

Bob, Ventura Missionary Church

You made the comment that "we were a good crowd." I would submit that that was due primarily to the fact that you are an excellent performer.

Major Ed, The Salvation Army

It has been my privilege to observe [your] different performers.and while no two have ever been alike, there has never been a disappointment. Each one has given generously of his/her talents.

David, Christ Church of Westminister

He did not just perform some routine of jokes/comedy, but he "worked" with us (his audience) and was able to effectively draw us into his humor. He was very very funny. At times, he had to pause for 15-40 seconds to let us stop laughing, and in some cases dry the tears of laughter from our eyes.


Rev. Greg, Chinese Faith Church

Performers Faithful to Jesus Christ...

Along with being celebrated in a variety of renowned venues, all of our performers profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, have a wholesome routine, and an effective testimony or message that can be incorporated into their act. Our performers are Christ-honoring both on and off-stage.

Wow! This guy doesn't throw around the usual Christian clichés and phrases. He knows God's Word! And he did one of the finest jobs I have ever witnessed in explaining the difference God makes in a life.

Bob, Ventura Missionary Church

His comedy and abilities are superb, but ever more-so was the depth of relationship with Christ that came before, during and after.


Terry, Florence Avenue Foursquare Church

[He] mentioned his faith in Christ in a natural way at the end that wasn't pushy. His testimony in worship was great- he has an amazing story and mentioned lots of Bible verses.  He even referred to the worship theme (which he didn't have to do).


Gary, Grace United Presbyterian

I appreciated his knowledge of Scripture, and the depth of his commitment to Christ. He did a tremendous job of connecting with the congregation. He was hilarious! At the end of the service, he was very effective at turning people's attention to the Lord. We gave an altar call and 4 people gave their hearts to Christ! Praise God!!! Thanks for all of your help.


Pastor Scott, Pathway Assembly of God

He not only made us laugh; he affirmed the mission that we are dedicated to.


Marsha, Wycliffe Associates

He really was the "man for the job" as you said! We had a wonderful mens' retreat and Comedy Club night. We appreciated your help with our planning, and look forward to working with you again.


Kay, First Presbyterian Church

Awesome job. Grand-slam home run! Susan Adams read between the lines and went the extra mile to make this deal work. She was a joy to work with at each step of the process. She listened well to our desires and needs, and did her best to fulfill them all! Tremendous work Susan!


Herb, Auburn Christian Student Center

Very impressed with DeLisa. She did a great job especially working [with] our short time frame. She was patient, efficient, and understanding. DeLisa called me the morning after our event to follow-up. Great Job DeLisa!!


Sue, Teen Rescue Inc

"These "invite-able" events pay for themselves! Our church has made a profit hosting these comedy nights. In fact, we used one of the comedy concerts as a missions trip fundraiser."
