“Razor-sharp, whip-smart, irresistible satire!” PBS Chicago
Have you ever prayed that Jesus would come back as a stand-up comedian? Well, your prayers have been answered. The second coming is no longer coming. It’s here and it’s called STAND-UP JESUS!
“Blessed be the punchlines!” Moses
This time he’s a comedian!
Heaven help us?
Hell, yeah!
Come bear witness to a truth that hurts and a truth that’s funny with STAND-UP JESUS! Thy kingdom come, thy will be done; and it will be done with divine satire. In Robert Dubac’s latest solo show, our lord and savior is back and this time he’s no longer a carpenter. He’s a stand-up comedian hell-bent on preaching what God created on the 8th day. Comedy.
“He can’t take a joke!” Judas
Who better to battle modern-day hypocrisy than STAND-UP JESUS! 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. So let he who is without sin cast the first heckle!
“Robert Dubac is talented, entertaining and very funny!” Boston Globe
Yes! STAND-UP JESUS is irreverent, sacrilegious and, above all, hysterical! Atheists and believers both praise STAND-UP JESUS as, “A miracle! It succeeds at being heaven and hell, enlightening and offensive; all at the same time!”
Robert Dubac (author, actor) belongs to a rare breed of humorists who make comedy smart and tragedy funny. Eschewing drama in the pursuit of humor he deftly combines stand-up with theater, pulling our emotional strings with intelligence and wit. In other words, you get more truth and less dick jokes. He constantly tours the world with all three of his solo shows, sometimes all at once, as a self-contained one-man repertory company.
Admission includes post-show wine and wafers (the vanilla kind) reception. Proceeds support the Save the Santa Monica Playhouse Main Stage Campaign.
