The award-winning controversial comedy hit makes its U.S. premiere
Direct from the West End in London, following SOLD OUT performances in Dublin, Belfast, Galway and Edinburgh
Jesus Christ (the original stand-up comedian) returns to earth for His long-awaited comeback tour. But He doesn't get past U.S. immigration, because He's a bearded, Middle-Eastern guy, prepared to die as a religious martyr.
The Dublin-based comedian Abie Philbin Bowman took the ’06 Edinburgh Fringe Festival by storm. The image of 'Jesus in an orange jumpsuit' appeared on international television and in over twenty publications. In a festival of 1,800 shows, The Scotsman dubbed Philbin Bowman "the face of this year's Fringe".
He makes his U.S. debut at JTOB.

Should have been a good show - given it's recent London run.
