DVD Reviews of Chonda Pierce - Have I Got a Story For You
DVD Review: Christian comedy? Not so much.
Summary: 1 Stars
If you're going to bill yourself as a Christian comedienne, you should heed the Bible's warning against tearing others down. Unfortunately, Chonda Pierce's comedy leans to the destructive side rather than the edifying side I was anticipating. While some of her jokes were funny, I found many of them to be hurtful and not made in a Christian spirit. As another reviewed commented, she made fun of a man in the audience because he was balding and sweating quite heavily. The poor man looked so uncomfortable as the camera zoomed in on his bald, sweaty head and Chonda led the whole auditorium in laughing at him. This was the most overt instance of mockery, but there were others. She made fun of some fans and joked about a dead body that she found in her hotel room (while she could have made up that story, it is distasteful nonetheless).
In addition to the overtly offensive jokes, her jokes about men really crossed the line into insulting them. Certainly joking about the differences between sexes can be funny, but the tone and language that she used were not loving or funny. I felt that at no point in the movie she expressed respect for men as a group, although she did indeed acknowledge her appreciation for her husband.
All objections to content aside, her delivery was poor. She was laughing so hard at her jokes that she could barely get them out. This really distracts from the routine. Instead of focusing on the material, you just sit there waiting for her to deliver the joke. After about an hour of her comedy routine, she abruptly switched into a long, tearful testimony (again, after making fun of people for the past hour!). It was a very strange addition to an evening of "comedy."
In short, I did not find Chonda Pierce's comedy to be uplifting or reflective of the Christian spirit by which she markets herself.
