High drama in a strong comedy

A remarkably profane and often hilarious film, The Coexist Comedy Tour does one better and creates an absorbing drama. I just watched the film, with a director Q & A afterward, and enjoyed it greatly.

Director Larry Brand involves himself in the drama of a Christian comedian dropping out of a multi-religious comedy tour featuring a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddist and an Atheist. Brand's candid portrayal of himself, and the developing critical situation, helps create a narrative that pops. Standing out is Jewish comedian Moshe Kasher whose set is insanely funny. I can't believe this film won't elevate his career to something big.

Highly recommended.

My husband and I with our two college age children watched this movie, not just once but twice. The kids loved it, we all did!! Ranks up there will all the well-known comedy tours in the past but with a different comedic twist!! We Love Love this movie! I was very happy to see this movie at the Traverse City Winter Comedy Arts Festival in February!! John Fugelsang, the Christian comic was at the Comedy Festival and did a Q & A after the movie along with the Director, Producers and the Writer!

It was even better the third time I saw it!!

The first line of the movie: A Muslim, a Christian, a Hindu, a Buddhist a Jew, an Atheist, (and I'm sure I left one out!)walk in a bar!

funny, thought-provoking

Warning: Spoilers
This film is a must-see for everyone! The comedians who are part of this documentary are funny, engaging, thought-provoking individuals who make us see the commonalities of people, above and beyond our religious differences. Brand, Reynolds, and Carpenter have created a thoughtful film which asks us to look at religious similarities and differences through an open lens, using humor to start the dialog. John Fugelsang, son of a priest and a nun, is the perfect Christian to be part of this show. The first Christian dropped out, so the documentary veers from the taping of a comedy show about religious differences and similarities, to the search for a Christian comedian. Fugelsang is a key player in the movie and his intelligence and comedic genius add to an already entertaining movie.
