The same hilarious Stand-Up Jesus show as a matinee! Break bread with the son of God during special brunch-and-a-show events on the Diana Wortham Theatre stage.

Jesus of Nazareth returns after 2,000 years, but this time he’s no carpenter — he’s a stand-up comedian. Shining the light of truth on false prophets, duplicitous politicians and immoral sheeple, J.C.’s razor-sharp satire has been intelligently designed to redeem sinners of all faiths. This season, the creator of The Book of Moron is back with his rare breed of humor, channeling what God created on the eighth day: comedy.

Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This Saturday we have Django Gold from NYC!!!

Django Gold is a comedian and writer who lives in New York and regularly performs at comedy clubs, festivals, and dive bars all around the country.
His debut stand-up special Bag of Tricks was released to widespread acclaim in September, and was named one of the year’s best specials by the New York Times, New York Magazine, Paste Magazine, and Uproxx. “If you love Norm Macdonald’s delivery style, watch this,” raved the Times.
In addition to his live performance doings, Django has also written for Colbert and the Onion, where his headshot was assigned to beloved op-ed columnist Derek Ralphs. He has seven Emmy nominations and a Peabody Award, for some reason.
Cynical, bizarre, without shame or better judgment: That’s the Django Gold guarantee.
