Rev. James

The Reverend James Christie is the world's only priest who moonlights as a stand-up comic.

A graduate of Yale Divinity School, Rev. James is a Christian Orthodox priest who by day works as a hospice chaplain. At night he tells jokes at nightclubs throughout New England (and Ohio). He has performed with Gary Gulman and Lamont Price. A lot of his jokes are about God. Because God wants you to laugh!

He produces Laughs for Africa, a comedy fundraiser which raises money for the African Hope Network, a non-profit benefiting Ugandan children and young leaders.
