Comedians Hop From The Screen To The Stage

A live tour featuring the four stars of Apostles of Comedy: The Movie will begin on November 10 in Northern California and make stops in over 15 cities before Thanksgiving. The nationwide tour will feature all four “Apostles” co-stars Jeff Allen, Brad Stine, Anthony Griffith and Ron Pearson. The four critically-acclaimed comedians will share the stage as they did in the upcoming film, set for release on DVD September 9 via First Look Studios.

“This will be a night the whole family will enjoy together” says John Huie of Creative Aritists Agency. “Laughter has no genre or denomination.” Everyone involved in the tour hopes this will be the tip of the iceberg for comedy tours in the Christian market.

“This film and the tour have been a dream of mine,” says Jeff Allen, recipient of the prestigious Grady Nutt Humor Award and frequently seen on Gaither videos. “With both the movie and the tour, we wanted to produce something that was counter-culture; something that would not only be funny, but move people emotionally. These guys are very diverse in their styles and backgrounds, but our Christian faith binds us together.”

Allen also believes the tour can serve as an effective outreach for churches. “Comedy, unlike music or other outreach events, appeals to all ages,” he says. “I regularly see three generations of families sitting together in our shows. It’s easy for people to find un-churched friends and take them to a comedy show, and we hope that will happen in every city.”
