Mondays can be tough — especially when the weekend is over, and the workweek looms large. But there’s nothing like a good laugh to kickstart the week and lift your spirits.
Whether you’re reminiscing about yesterday’s sermon or still shaking off the sleepiness from waking up early for church, these Christian jokes are sure to add some joy to your day. We’ve rounded up some of the cleanest and funniest comics who know how to bring the humor without crossing any lines — unless it’s necessary.
Dustin Nickerson
Before Dustin Nickerson began his stand-up career, he spent several years as a youth pastor at Mars Hill Church. (Not that one). That means he’s got a lifetime of jokes from someone who knows the highs and lows of church life. Nickerson’s laid-back, conversational style makes it feel like you’re joking with a friend who just happens to be really, really funny. Just check out our conversation with him on The RELEVANT Podcast to really see what we’re talking about.
Anjelah Johnson-Reyes
Comedy fans of a certain age will remember Anjelah Johnson-Reyes from her MadTV “Bon Qui Qui” days. But she’s moved on to stand-up since then, and we are definitely not mad about it. Her comedy dives into her Mexican-American upbringing, the quirks of multicultural life, and the hilarious truth about relationships. She makes a lot of jokes about her friends and family, most notably her husband, Christian rapper Manwell Reyes of Group 1 Crew.
Kevin Fredericks (a.k.a. KevOnStage)
If you’ve been on the Internet for some time, you probably know Kevin Fredericks better as KevOnStage. The comedian has some of the best laugh-out-loud takes on church culture, family life and the absurdity of our society. And if you think his short online videos are funny, just wait until you see his full stand-up set. You can get a small taste of it through our conversation with him (and his wife!) on The RELEVANT Podcast.
Mike Birbiglia
Mike Birbiglia stands out with his unique storytelling style that blends humor with heartfelt introspection. He skillfully navigates topics like his sleepwalking disorder, awkward social encounters, and the anxieties of adulthood, weaving them into stories that are as touching as they are hilarious. Birbiglia’s self-deprecating humor and impeccable timing make his sets feel both deeply personal and universally funny.
Nate Bargatze

The list wouldn’t be complete without Nate Bargatze. The top-earning comedian recently announced his new holiday-themed variety special. While he doesn’t talk much about his faith or church, he does have a great bit about being raised by Christian parents in the ’80s and ’90s. And his deadpan, spot-on humor takes an already funny joke to the next level.
