@ 7 & 9 p.m.
After capacity crowds in San Francisco, Atlanta, Greenville and Columbia, Jim Dant has agreed to bring this comedy hit to Spartanburg’s Fringe Arts Festival. As pastor of Greenville’s 100% inclusive First Baptist Church, Jim has been complimented, cursed, blessed, blessed out, near deified and damned for being an LGBTQ ally. It all makes for a lot of laughs and a lot of tears in this unique comedy.
Each performance is about one hour and Jim will be signing copies of his latest book This I Know: A Simple Biblical Defense for LGBTQ Christians in between performances. Get your copy at our merchandise table at the box office.
