Christian comedy
Religious comedy subgenre
Christian comedy is a subgenre of comedy where the material presented is aimed towards a Christian audience. The performances are typically held on church grounds or at off-site, church-sponsored venues.
The material often contains Christian references, although this is not a requirement. From 2006 notable performers like Victoria Jackson , Tim Conway , Sinbad and Patricia Heaton appeared on a DVD series for the Christian market entitled, Thou Shalt Laugh . [1]
Christian comedy is increasingly being used as an outreach , with the idea that a comedy show is an effective method to bring people into church who may have never thought about coming. [2] Christian comedy is also used as a method to renew and refresh the spirit of church members, based on the Bible passage that says laughter does a heart good, like medicine. [3]
