The all new Chevy Jesus. The only truck mighty enough...for the Almighty!
So we shot this little gem of a video in the middle of the summer in Arizona. It seems to get under a lot of people's skin. It's not really that bad.
Troy Conrad, http://troyconrad.net/ , who performs a one-man show over in L.A., conceived of the idea with Dave Pavone, who is, without a doubt, the most brilliant comedy writer I've ever met.
Troy's entire show is done as the Son of God, fielding audience questions swathed in traditional vestments.
Flowing robe, grace...striking.
It was a short bit that grew out of his standup, and grew and grew until it IS the bit. Catch his show before he's hit by lightning. Cause he will be.
Nick Stahr of Brother's-Ink was convincing as the apostle Cecil, patron saint of the Hula-ho*.
I bought props at a religious store in Tempe, Az. It was kinda' creepy. I was uncomfortable looking at my fellow shoppers. Cause I was thinking, you know, they're not here looking for props. They actually want this stuff. Perusing the shelves to find just the right Jesus fish. Like, what do we need today? Avocados, dog food, baptismal font, cornuts. But Nicodemus, my sales associate, put my blasphemous heart at ease. Probably because they're on commission.
Anyway, enjoy it.
