Director Statement

In January of 2017, I directed, wrote and performed in a sketch comedy show at The Second City titled "Lesser Known History" where we comedically explored a variety of moments over the course of time. There was one clear favorite: Post Game with Jesus. People reacted strongly to the clash of context using religion and sports, and maybe not surprisingly, the two ideas not very different from each other. The script was never designed to have commentary on religion or Christianity, but rather find a world that everyone, regardless of viewpoints, can laugh together about. This script was rewritten from stage to screen to add a few more visual jokes. There's no lesson to be learned, just to sit back, relax and laugh. Enjoy!
