August 03, 2016
Christian comedians are a rare breed. While many comedians may try to make us laugh, Christian comedians crack us up without all of the foul language or worldly views that others use. The world needs more positivity and laughter, and so we're grateful for these gifted comedians who can brighten even the darkest day!
Christian Comedians: John B. Crist
“It's only a matter of time until John Crist is a household name...he's unbelievably talented.” -- Louie Anderson
Whether he's poking fun at dating, social media or road rage, Christian comedian John Crist always cracks us up with his hilarious take on modern living.

When asked how he became interested in comedy, John jokes about his childhood saying, “Shoot, I grew up in the south. My dad is a pastor, and I was the third of eight homeschooled children. Coming from a background like that, how do you NOT write jokes?!”
But as for how he got his big break?
“I started off as the announcement guy at my church after college. Of course, it became more about telling jokes than communicating actual information. Most of the time the pastor had to come out and apologize for me,” John laughs.

Chondra got her start working in Nashville at Opryland Theme Park where she performed as Minnie Pearl, the classic Grande Ole Opry star. Chondra claims she was a terrible dancer and being told by her boss to “find a new talent" so she began memorizing comedy scripts. The rest, as they say, is history!

Christian Comedians: Michael Jr.
You may recognize Christian comedian Michael Jr. from the movie War Room or his appearance on The Tonight Show. But before that this funny man got his start in the most unusual way.
One day, Michael was in a theater watching a movie when the projector broke and the film snapped. The crowd was getting restless waiting on the film to restart, and friends dared Michael to get on stage and entertain the audience. When theater management came and asked him to step down, the crowd actually demanded that Michael stay and finish his routine!

Christian Comedians: Jeff Allen
Jeff Allen has starred in comedy specials on Comedy Central, Showtime and VH1, and he has been in the spotlight for more than four decades. But perhaps it is his coining of the phrase Happy Wife, Happy Life, and his telling of a marriage that went wrong and was redeemed that was his most impactful work, giving encouragement to millions of people thru the gift of laughter.
Christian Comedians: Mark Lowry
Mark Lowry is a multi-talented comedian who has also served as the baritone singer for the Gaither Vocal Band for more than 20 years. Mark co-wrote the modern-day Christmas classic, Mary Did You Know?, which has been recorded by more than 400 artists including Reba McEntire, Clay Aiken, Kenny Rogers and more.

Christian Comedian: Anita Renfroe
Anita Renfroe is probably best known for her musical parodies filled with pop culture references. This sassy lady is not just hilarious, she's all about girl power.

Christian Comedians: Bob Smiley
Bob Smiley entered his first stand-up comedy contest when he was in college. He nervously took the stage and then learned that there was only one other contestant--who took the stage without an act! That win was enough to bolster his confidence to keep trying, eventually landing him with a job as the MC for bands like Newsboys, Third Day, and Mercy Me. Now, he's widely known as one of the most in-demand 'clean' comedians in the business, and performs to huge crowds who love his fast-paced antics.
