Cheap Thou Shalt Laugh (DVD) Price

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
