Christian Stand-up Comedy - Clean Humor

There's often debate about what is means to be a Christian stand-up comedian. Does it mean a comedian that performs jokes targeted to Christian audiences (Biblical references, church humor, etc), or does it mean a stand-up comedian who happens to be a Christian?

Many well-known Christian comedians perform for a solid hour without mention of Christianity. Others have an entire act that would only work in front of a church audience. It's really a matter of personal preference. But either way, the product should result in clean humor.

Post-Prom Ideas: After Prom Entertainment

Larry Weaver Entertainment specializes in entertainment for junior/senior banquets, proms, post-proms, and after-prom parties at public, private, and Christian schools. Some of our most popular post-prom entertainers include:

	Magician Joshua Lozoff Stage mentalist and magician A hit with high-school students, Joshua’s magic combines amazing illusions with mental feats that explore the possibilities of the human mind. A fun, mind-boggling performance that leaves audiences laughing and full of amazement.
	Musical Comedian Matt Jernigan Musical comedy with celebrity impressions An amazing comedy impressionist, Matt hilariously spoofs popular rock, R&B, hip hop, country and pop stars. With just his guitar and incredible talent, he brings everyone from Elvis Presley to Snoop Dogg to the stage.
	Stand-up Comedian John Felts Clean, fresh stand-up comedy Just a few years removed from high school himself, John delivers real and funny one-of-a-kind perspectives on dating, American culture and struggling to do the right thing.

We even provide entertainment for homeschool proms (yes, that's a real thing):
"Paul Miller did a wonderful job entertaining the guests at our homeschool prom last Friday. It was a great ice breaker for the kids as they arrived, waited for photos, ate dinner with people they didn't necessarily know, etc. Also, when rain delayed the start of the dance for about an hour and the kids were getting restless, Paul saved the day by jumping in with a juggling/comedy routine that had everyone laughing. The Prom Committee was very pleased with the decision to include him as part of the night's entertainment." - Carolina Capital Homeschool Prom

Our entertainers work 100% CLEAN, so there is no worry about this fitting in with your other post-prom activities, games, and ideas. Find more magicians, comedians and Christian entertainers for your after-prom event!

Singing Comedians - Types of Singing Comedians

Types of Singing Comedians

Impressionists are a type of singing comedian who do celebrity impersonations. A true impressionist tries to vocally mimic the singer they are parodying. Jimmy Fallon does an excellent Neil Young and Bob Dylan, among others. Check out celebrity impressionist Matt Jernigan:

Song Parodists twist real song lyrics into humorous variations. You can be a parodist without being an impressionist. Popular song parodists include Tim Hawkins. You can also parody a whole genre of music, such as Jack Black does with Tenacious D. The most notable example of a song parodist is "Weird Al" Yankovic:

Funny Singer/Songwriters compose original melodies and lyrics. There are many famous examples such as Ray Stevens or Flight of the Conchords, but I'll use myself as an example because... well, it's my blog. Check out funny singer/songwriter Larry Weaver:

Song and Dance comedians may be a dying breed of performer. Legends like Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. as "The Rat Pack" seamlessly blended traditional (serious) songs with comedy and dance. Check out this clip from way back in the Sixties:

There is another type of comedian who uses music as a backdrop to tell one-liners or stories. Contemporary examples include Demetri Martin and Zach Galifianakis, who both use the guitar and piano respectively as background music as they tell their jokes. I'm not sure what to call this group. Anyone have suggestions?

What other types of singing comedians can you think of?

Wikipedia has a good, but not exhaustive, list of musical comedians.

And I have a good listing of singing comedians for hire.

Duke Sucks - Funny Sports Speakers Available for Hire

Duke Sucks - The Book

Duke Sucks - the new book by comedians and sports authors Reed Tucker and Andy Bagwell - is not about the celebrated UNC/Duke rivalry. It is instead a thoroughly humorous investigation into why Duke basketball is the single most hated team in America.

The authors are graduates and former classmates from the University of North Carolina. They also happen to be former stand-up comedians. This one-two punch makes sure not only that no stone is left un-turned in their investigation, but no joke is left untold.

Reed Tucker is a staff features writer at the New York Post. He has performed at the top comedy clubs in New York and currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.

Andy Bagwell is a former member of Selected Hilarity, one of the top college comedy acts in the nation. He lives in Cary, North Carolina.

The two host the “Tar Heel Bred, Tar Heel Dead” podcast, an obsessive, occasionally humorous look at UNC basketball.

Each of these funny sports speakers are available to speak at your college campus, chamber of commerce banquet, alumni gathering, or after dinner corporate event. A typical keynote presentation might consist of reading from the book followed by a Q&A.

To hire Reed Tucker or Andy Bagwell to speak at your event, please contact Larry Weaver Entertainment.
