Alright, let me tell ya about these funny women, the Christian ones, you know? They’re somethin’ else, lemme tell ya. Them gals, they get up on the stage and just talk, and you can’t help but laugh. Not like those fancy-pants comedians on the TV, the ones always swearin’ and talkin’ ’bout things no decent person should. These ladies, they talk about life, ’bout church, ’bout kids, ’bout all the things we all know. And they make it funny, real funny.
Heard of that Church Lady? Dana Carvey, a fella, mind you, plays her. He ain’t no lady, but he sure does make you laugh with that character. She’s all judgy, you know, looking down her nose at everyone. But it’s funny, ’cause we all know someone a bit like that, ain’t we?
- She got that pursed-up mouth and the “well, isn’t that special” way of talkin’.
- Makes you think about all them times you judge folks yourself, even when you shouldn’t.
Now, there’s this other lady, Phyllis Diller. She was a hoot. Loud, wild hair, funny clothes. She’d talk about her husband, “Fang,” and all sorts of silly stuff. Won a bunch of awards, they say. Guess people liked her makin’ fun of herself and her life. Then there’s Wanda Sykes. She’s a bit more modern, you know? Talks faster, maybe a little bit sassy. But still funny, real funny.
And this Small Fire gal, Sylvia Holloway, that’s her real name. She does stand-up too. Never seen her myself, but they say she’s good. Uses her own life, her own experiences, to make folks laugh. That’s what these Christian comedians do, they talk about their lives, and it’s funny ‘cause it’s real.
You know, it’s good to laugh. Life’s hard, got its ups and downs. Sometimes you just need a good chuckle. And these Christian women, they give you that. They make you see the funny side of things, the side you might miss if you’re too busy worryin’ or complainin’. They remind you that even in church, even with all the rules and such, there’s room for laughter.
They ain’t preachy, these women. They don’t stand up there and tell you how to live. They just tell stories, make jokes, and somehow, you feel a little bit better after listening to them. You feel like, “Yeah, I ain’t alone. Other folks got these funny things happenin’ to them too.”
I tell ya, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to make you smile, somethin’ to lift your spirits, go find yourself some of these Christian female comedians. They’ll have you laughin’ so hard, you’ll forget all about your troubles, just for a little while. And that’s a good thing, ain’t it?
So, go on, give ’em a try. Listen to their jokes, hear their stories. You might be surprised how much you like ’em. And you might just find yourself feelin’ a whole lot better. ‘Cause laughter, they say, it’s good medicine.
And these women, they got plenty of it to share.
