FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE To: ALL LOCAL MEDIA From: «First Name» «Organization» «City», «State» «Phone» Re: “Comedy Crusade for Christ!” with Christian Comedian Dan Wolfe (814)752-2941 dwolfe@dwolfe.com http://www.dwolfe.com «Organization» will be hosting something a bit unusual very soon; a high energy program of Gospel Magic, Christian Comedy and what promises to be a lot of fun for all who attend. The event is called "Comedy Crusade for Christ" and features Christian Comedian and Illusionist, Dan Wolfe plus daily visits by his internationally acclaimed alter ego, a Tramp Mime character known as "The Amazing Earl". Dan Wolfe is a contagiously excited Christian from Clarington, Pennsylvania, whose unusual Ministry has taken him into hundreds of Churches of nearly every denomination to spread his message of Love, Laughter and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Wolfe draws upon his 20 years as a Professional Magician to help illustrate the concepts in the Bible and uses his zany sense of humor to provide some fun along the way. Each night of the Crusade will begin with Wolfe presenting the message in his own unique way which will engage both children and adults alike. To wrap up each day's message, "The Amazing Earl" (Wolfe in disguise) makes an appearance. Wolfe applies his Mime Makeup and Costume right in front of the audience to grant them a real "behind the scenes" look at what goes on in his unusual world. As "Earl," Wolfe dramatizes storylines from his own quirky imagination as well as familiar stories from the Bible, but from a slightly different perspective...a comic point of view. Wolfe describes his style pf pantomime as a cross between Red Skelton, Charlie Chaplin and Harpo Marx. There will be games and prizes for the kids, but the biggest thing Wolfe hopes people recieve is a knowledge of Jesus Christ and a greater understanding of the Bible. “The presentation is funny, but the message is serious,” Wolfe says. “I simply believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most joyful message in the world. Why shouldn’t it be fun?” For this year’s Crusade, Wolfe has invented a number of original magical illusions that no one has seen before. According to Wolfe, one apparently involves a chainsaw and an audience volunteer, another is an escape which he calls “comically dangerous” while yet another finds him walking visibly through a solid steel plate. “My favorite is a brand new one that I’m still keeping secret,” Wolfe says. “I can’t wait for the audience to see it!” Wolfe also directs Comedy Workshops and has planted “Giggle Groups” in dozens of Churches to help spread the Gospel using this peculiar medium. He is also a guest columnist for half a dozen industry magazines and presents lectures on ministering through magic and humor at many conventions each year. With eight First Place Trophies to his credit, he was honored as Best Overall Entertainer by the PA/Ohio/NY/Ontario Comedy Association for an unprecedented fourth year in a row. Dan Wolfe’s "Comedy Crusade for Christ" will be held at «Organization» in «City», «State» on «Concert Date» at «Time». You may pre-register by calling «Phone». There is no charge for the Programs but you may want to reserve your seat. A freewill offering will be taken. The public is invited to come, worship and laugh.
