    Thou Shalt Die Laughing!

    Holy Smoke! This was the funniest video ever. I watched it with a group from church and we all laughed until we cried. Not only that, but we watched it a second time and after that I had to purchase it myself. Now I'm passing it around at work and everyone loves it. Each comedian was very funny in their own right. My personal favorites were Thor Ramsey, Jeff Allen, Joby Saad (The Village Idiot) and of course Taylor Mason is a super talented ventriloquist!! So pop some corn and invite the whole family to watch and not have to worry about 4 letter words or filtering out sensitive material. You'll find yourself repeating a lot of the material to your friends on a daily basis! I'm hoping this group gets together again for an encore. Very enjoyable!!!!

    Hilarious! I laughed so hard I cried.

    Hilarious! I laughed so hard I cried. It's a great deal funnier than most stand-ups you see on Comedy Central.

    For me, special kudos go out to: Thor Ramsey, Michael Jr., Jeff Allen and Taylor Mason. The other 3 were very funny as well, but the 4 I mentioned were a very tough act to follow. I never stopped laughing the entire time. Patricia Heaton did a great job as well, and I wish we could have seen more of her.

    The show is not "Christian" because there are Christian jokes, but it jokes that Christians can laugh at and not be embarrassed to have the kids listen.

    I have never seen any of these comedians before, but I hope to in the future. Well done and a pleasant surprise.

    Who says comedians have to swear and be sexual to be funny?

    I thought this movie was absolutely awesome! The comedians are hilarious, and they don't say anything or do anything that any parent should worry about. Though one stand up says "oh my God" a couple of times. Not good... But other than that, this is awesome. You'll have a fun time watching it. Who says you have to swear and say nasty things to make people laugh until they cry? This movie is a perfect example. For Christians like me, it's hard to find comedians these days that are funny while being clean in their acts, which is why I like this. They don't always necessarily talk about Jesus, they talk a majority on just normal things in life, but they still make it funny. There are comedians of all different styles; subtle comedians, blunt comedians, wild comedians, you name it. If you're looking for a stand up movie all your family can watch without being worried about stuff said, get this!

    Christians can be Funny too, but not these Christians

    Wow... It's hack comedy at it's finest. Christian comedy doesn't have to be pointless and glib to be funny. The best comedy comes from pain and the Bible is full of F'd up painful stories. Let's just say you won't be hearing any Sodom and Gomorrah jokes. It's produced by the blue collar comedy guy, so take that for what it's worth.

    On a positive note, there's all kinds of funny in the world and even the kind that's not intentional can spark a laugh. So if you like that kind of funny, this video is for you. And it's definitely safe for the whole family to watch. It's cardboard served with a side of a vanilla yogurt. If diversity doesn't offend you, you even get a black comic, a lady comic, a young comic and even a Hispanic comic. Cause hey, there's room for everybody in Jesus's house (yeah it's filmed in a church).

    THIS is COMEDY!

    I reviewed Eddie Murphy Raw here, giving it 1/10 stars since all his "jokes" were crude. We need more comedy films like Thou Shalt Laugh. It's consistently gut-busting hilarious and I have seen it 3 times entirely since my birthday-10 months ago! Everyone in the family should see this, Christian or not. Micheal Jr and Jeff Allen are the best in my opinion. Some comedians ARE better than others but are all good in there own right. There are a few others of these-I will have to purchase them when I get a chance. They are all Christian comedians but you don't need to be religious to get the jokes. And if your sense of humor MUST have dirtiness-Micheal Jr talks about breastfeeding. Thou Shalt see this-and THOU WILL LAUGH!
