Bio on Charles Marshall

Charles Marshall is without a doubt one of the funniest and most original Christian comedians performing today. His material is clever enough to tickle the funny bone of the most demanding comedy fan, yet relatable enough for practically anyone to enjoy. Through his contagious humor, outrageous insight, and refreshing perspective, Charles effectively communicates the joy found in a relationship with the Lord.

What is his act like? Think of the observational humor of Jerry Seinfeld meeting the energy of Robin Williams and the warmth of Bill Cosby. With every performance Charles takes his audience on a comedic roller coaster ride, exploring every subject from product names, commercials and growing up, to dating and family life.

In addition to his reputation for excellence and originality, Charles is also known for his ability to produce roll-in-the-aisles humor while avoiding all vulgarities and obscenities. An upbeat comic, Charles also avoids all negative/insult humor in his program. He is adept at involving his audiences and an expert at finding the humor in the minutiae of life. He is truly a craftsman who tailors his concerts to meet the needs of his host for each occasion.

Charles attributes much of his popularity to his ability to provide an alternative to the blue humor of today's comics. "As I travel across the United States, I find that most people love comedy but don't want to have their ears burned with all of the vulgarity."

With his contagious humor, outrageous insight, and refreshing perspective, Charles is becoming a major force in the comedy industry today. Without a doubt, Charles stands and delivers! 

But Seriously Folks

Although known for looking at the lighter side of life, Charles is very serious about his relationship with the Lord. In 1983 he made the decision to follow Jesus while attending the University of Southern Mississippi. It was soon after his conversion that he sought to challenge others as he had been, taking opportunities to minister at churches in the surrounding area as well as on campus. His ministry continued upon his move to Atlanta in the mid-1980s.

With these years of experience behind him, Charles has mastered the art of combining a professional stage presence with the warmth that endears him to audiences. His hosts love him because he has a passion to encourage the believer while challenging the non-believer to explore a relationship with God. 

His appeal is a universal one, touching the hearts of young and old alike. A predominant reason for his success is the relativity of his insights to everyday life. His style is distinctive, original, and refreshing.
