Want a quick intro to the God Wants You to Laugh Podcast? Well you have come to right place!

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.
