When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? When was the last time you saw a good Christian comedy that really got you roaring?
Herman Melville said, “A good laugh is a mighty good thing, a rather too scarce a good thing.” There isn’t a single person who would say they don’t want to laugh more.
In a culture where the price of a laugh is often inappropriate language or content, Christian comedians are on a mission to show that comedy can be safe, fun and enjoyable for the whole family. Clean comedy is powerful, enjoyable and fully accessible through Pure Flix.
