Christian comedy - who knew?

Over the past 30 months, the Christian Comedy Association has grown from 40 to 300 members. Yes, you read that right – the Christian Comedy Association. There are even dedicated Christian comedy clubs.

In the past year, several Christian venues, including the Skyline in Oklahoma City and Synergy in Beltsville, Md., have opened, occasionally drawing big crowds. "We just want to provide an outlet for performers who are using their talent for Him, and to provide an alternative for college-area young adults," says Erik Sellin, director of Synergy, an 80-seat club that opened in July.

I don't know what to make of this, but obviously it's not a bad thing. It sure is surprising, though.
