“I’m not a foodie; I’m an eatie. I don’t have anything against foodies. I just don’t have the time or the interest to do that much research.”
Jim Gaffigan
Stand-up comedy can be – among other things – prophetic. I love going to stand-up and have missed doing so during the pandemic. I watch more than my share of it on TV. One of my bucket list items is taking in Canada’s annual Montreal Comedy Festival. Being the nerd that I am I have studied some comics to help me hone my story telling craft; I’ve even assigned comedy routines in a preaching class and have considered requiring that my MDiv students take a class in comedy improv.
Recently I recorded a little story about a time when the comedian Jim Gaffigan nearly killed me and my family. There is no real prophetic edge to this story… though I suppose it could be seen to have a moral.
Peace, dwight
“Yeah the appetizer, that’s the food we eat before we have our food…No no you’re thinking of dessert, that’s food we eat after we have our food.”
