Performing Christian Comedy at Its Best Can Be Achieved by Following These Five Rules:
1) Clean Comedy Material Means No Offensive Language, Set-ups or Punchlines
Christian Comedy is an artform. It is a unique type of humor that is appreciated by people seeking clean, funny comedy that is not offensive. Generally the comedy is delivered in a church setting, auditorium or all-purpose room. If your comedy is inappropriate for this type of setting, you will know immediately. The ambience and crowd reaction will train a comedian as to what material is appropriate the minute he or she begins to speak.
2) Use of Bible Verses
You should be ready for this request. Although many Christian Comedians do not use bible verses in their performances, it may be wise to have one or two references prepared and associated with clean humor - just in case.
3) Arrive on time
I recommend arriving at least one hour prior to showtime. This puts everyone at ease - including the performer!
4) Dress as if you are performing on TV
It is always better to be over-dressed rather than appearing casual at a more formal event.
5) Make your Audience the Stars of the Show
So many comedians overlook the fact that it is important to make your audience members the stars of the show. This is so effective for producing a memorable show. Many performers "customize" their show by making direct references to audience members in their routine. I recommend taking it one step further and including audience members on stage in your performance. "Taking the stage" is a memory that guests will remember for years to come!
