Church Comedy includes Marty Simpson. (The awkward sentence above exists for search engine optimization!)

Marty Simpson, (who performs Church Comedy... Again, search engine stuff...) simultaneously served as the Head Football Coach and Lead Drama Director at a Private Christian High School in South Carolina for eight years. (Ben Lippen for those that care.)

Prior to teaching and coaching, he was the first South Carolinian ever to be named a USA Today All-American Football Player,**1 and he went on to be a stand-out for the South Carolina Gamecocks.**2

How many Church Comedians, (doing Church Comedy) who are former school teachers, do you suppose, took their school's football team all the way to the state championship in the fall, and then produced and directed Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest to sell-out crowds in the spring?

We know of at least one.

Marty's Church Comedy act is filled with antics and adventures from his real life. Nothing is off limits. His wife, his kids, his dogs, his style of worship, his former college football playing days with the Gamecocks, and his awkward relationships with his African-American friends, all get discussed on stage.

Marty knows, THE CODE©, which he claims is the secret to "getting along" with black people.**3 It was this fact that caught the attention of B.E.T. (Evidently, BET knew THE CODE too!) In March of 2009, Marty was the only caucasian comic featured on the B.E.T. show, A Time to Laugh. While filming the show he was the only comic to dance with the host, Grammy Award Winning Star, Vickie Winans. After seeing Marty’s set, Vickie felt compelled to dance with Simpson. Some in attendance may have interpreted what she was doing as “teaching,” but those of us closer to the situation know better. In addition to appearing as a stand-up comic, Marty also appeared in several sketches.

As a Church Comedian, performing Church Comedy, Marty believes that there is no racial or color barrier to comedy. Laughter is universal.

(When more information is released about the show, this bio will be updated.)

Marty has performed his brand of Church Comedy in clubs across America from Atlanta's Uptown Comedy Corner, all the way to Los Angeles' famed Comedy Store.

Marty's Church Comedy performance venues include clubs, churches, corporate events, elderly facilities, children's birthday parties, talent shows, fund-raisers, and he has even hosted rock concert events. No event is too large or too small for Marty's style of comedy.

Marty's clean, fun, up-lifting, story telling ability is mixed with just the right amount of bitterness and self deprecation to be an overall hilarious experience in Church Comedy for audiences of all ages, races, genders, and species.

Marty is a rare combination of Comedian and Clean and he brings new light to the industry that is "Church Comedy."

**Footnotes**
**1. 1990 U.S.A. Today All-American - Marty wasn’t a real football player, he was just the kicker. But he was voted the best in the country in 1990 after setting the South Carolina state record with a 61 yard field goal and kicking the walk off winning field goal to win the Class AAAA Division 1 State Championship by a score of 3 to 0.

See video of Marty's playing days.

**2. A Gamecock is a rooster that is known for its tenacity...seriously.

**3. To white people reading this bio, it is acceptable to use the term “black people” if while you are using the phrase you are not simultaneously speaking out of the mouth of a racist person.
