Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:Use mdy dates Christian comedy is a subgenre of comedy that is aimed toward a Christian audience. The performances are typically held on church grounds or at off-site, church-sponsored venues.

The material often contains Christian references, although this is not a requirement. From 2006 notable performers like Victoria Jackson, Tim Conway, Sinbad and Patricia Heaton appeared on a DVD series for the Christian market entitled, Thou Shalt Laugh.[1]

Christian comedy is increasingly being used as an outreach with the idea that a comedy show is an effective method to bring people into church who may have never thought about coming.[2] Christian comedy is also used as a method to renew and refresh the spirit of church members, based on the Bible passage that says laughter does a heart good, like medicine.[3]
