Christian comics aren't all that different from other comics on Thou Shalt Laugh, a frequently funny, live stage show featuring seven comedians and hosted by Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton. Recent father Thor Ramsey discusses the horrors of trying to unwrap a stuffed toy: "I can only imagine someone wrapping this at a state correctional facility. 'If I'm not going anywhere, you're not going anywhere.'" Ramsey also discusses the most effective marketing of Jesus, in his opinion: "It's the fish symbol on bumper stickers. The response to that was the Darwin fish with legs. Our response to that is a bigger fish eating their fish." Michael Jr. explains how subliminal communication works with a new woman he's dating, especially when he's sending signals about not having a fancy car: "If Yugo with me to the Fiesta..." He talks, too, about his position on alternative lifestyles: "Someone asked me, 'Are you pro-gay?' No, I'm not pro-gay. I'm not amateur gay either. I didn't even know they have a league." Fortysomething Jeff Allen gets into domestic bliss: "My father told me one thing about marriage: Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? I'm a happy, happy, happy man." Teresa Roberts Logan describes her struggle with weight loss: "They tell you to flavor those weight-loss milkshakes with your choice of additives. I added Reese's Peanut Butter Cups." Also on the bill are Gilbert Esquivel, Joby Saad, and Taylor Mason. --Tom Keogh

 Best video ever September 18, 2008
I laughed until I fell off my chair. How wonderful to have clean humor that I can share with my family and friends without apology.
GREAT TITLE VERY TRUE August 3, 2008
What a funny video!!!!! My husband has a hard time sitting still long enough to watch a whole long video as he works all of the time. We watched this video together and he got such a kick out of it he had me play it clear through several times. WE DID LAUGH!!!!! The video got here in ample time and was in very good condition. Would do business with this seller again.
Pleasantly Surprised! July 20, 2008
My first thought about watching a 'Christian' comedy show was that all the jokes were going to be about the Bible or Christian things (and how funny could that be?).
This was wonderful. It's great to watch a show that's family-friendly, with a little 'edge' (but nothing overboard), and that's actually FUNNY. I'm so glad there's an alternative to the typical SNL-comedy-club routine.
P.S. I read the reviewer who gave this dvd only 1 star. Geez, did he actually watch the show? Everything he said was completely opposite of what the show was really about. Some people will slam anything that is considered 'Christian'...
Still laughing July 18, 2008
The best comedy we've seen in years. We even shared our CD with our "very" Christian neighbors and they shared it with their grown children and grandchildren. It's a great CD for everyone.
wonderful clean fun for the whole family June 5, 2008
I had seen this video a couple of times and enjoyed it so much I decided to purchase it so I would have something fun for company. With all the different styles of comedy displayed, it has something for everyone. It is so refreshing to watch comedians who are talented enough to be really funny without profanity.
