A comedian’s hilarious stories about his interactions at church have the audience rolling with laughter. The comedian, Josh Novey, describes himself as a “churchy guy” and then mentions some of the hysterical and awkward situations he has encountered at church.

Funny, awkward, uncomfortable and weird situations can and do happen anywhere there are people, including the church. Josh says that in addition to being a regular churchgoer, he is also a single guy. He explains what happens and what people have said to him in the church because of his single status. In a clip posted on YouTube, he shows how some people expect single people to do particular things in the church.

“I’m a single guy,” Josh says. “I’m single in church. It’s tough being single in church ‘cause they expect me to do everything. Every Sunday, my pastor’s like, ‘Hey, we’re retiling the roof at 4 a.m. See you there!’ No, you won’t. My phone’s going to be off.”

Later in the clip, Josh mentions how dating can be difficult, especially because, as he puts it, he can be awkward when interacting with others.

“So, I’m at church; I’m having a great conversation with this lady, right?” he said. “We connected. We were talking about a lot of stuff; we had a lot of stuff in common. She starts talking about hobbies. She goes, ‘What do you do for a living?’ I said, ‘Well, I’m a standup comic. Sometimes people laugh.’ I said, ‘What do you do in your spare time?’ And she said she likes to square dance. And I was like, ‘Well, we both make bad decisions.’”

Then, Josh says that because he is awkward, his words can become jumbled up at times, making for embarrassing and hilarious moments, particularly when he’s trying to get a young woman's attention. He talked about what happened when he tried online dating.

Psalm 126:2 “Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.”
