Brad Stine - Comedy - Arts - John Leland - New York Times


Here's an interesting article about Brad Stine a Christian stand-up comic.
In the competitive world of stand-up comedians, Mr. Stine, 45, has found a niche as a conservative Christian, riffing on topics like gay marriage, judicial activism and judges who cite precedents from foreign courts. If this seems like an unlikely route to the "Tonight" show, it has its rewards. After years in secular comedy clubs, where he made up to $1,500 a week, he now performs at basketball arenas and football stadiums for gatherings of the Promise Keepers, a ministry aimed at men. For less than an hour onstage, he earns $20,000.

$20,000 for one Promise Keepers gig! Wow! I should have been a comedian!
