THE JESUS FACTOR available NOW on DVD Warning: Purchasing this DVD may land you on a “watch-list.” “Brian Dykstra wields a monologue like a sword!” “Brian Dykstra is working hard to turn ranting into a new genre. If he succeeds comedy may not be safe!” download NRA “Watch List” Designee / Rush Limbaugh “Enemy” at Brian Dykstra’s rage ignites in THE JESUS FACTOR, his latest critically acclaimed uncensored and outrageously funny one-man tour de force about religious hypocrisy and power. Dykstra’s last New York solo outing, CORNERED & ALONE, received an extended Off-Broadway run and was hailed by critics (The New York Times called it ”…exhilarating, intoxicating and enormously satisfying!”). If that wasn’t enough to validate his ferocious, stinging rebukes of those who hold this nation hostage with their constant drumbeat of fear, Dykstra has been branded an “enemy” by Rush Limbaugh while finding himself on many of the Radical Right’s most virulent watch lists, including the NRA. If dissent is a hallmark of the American tradition, Brian Dykstra stands in the forefront of a new generation of America’s greatest patriots.
“Democracy needs defenders who are courageous, outspoken and intelligent. Democracy needs its solid citizens, its citizen-comedians, you could say. And Dykstra's right there. He’s a stump man, a born teacher. An evangelist.” "Dykstra Strikes Again! “Dykstra is immensely talented, intelligent, and au courant. The Jesus Factor is good stuff. He makes you laugh but it is guilty laughter as you understand how serious his points are." “Brian Dykstra uses outrage and humor like a blowtorch and kindling to ignite the slow fuse that burns for 90 mesmerizing minutes in his equally frightening and enlightening comic monologue, The Jesus Factor. “Was no one else offended?” “There are, of course, many pleasures in going to the theater five, six or more times a week. But one of the nicest benefits of attending so often is that you can really tell when a theatrical artist is stretching himself. Some years ago, Brian Dykstra was an amazing and arresting Eddie Carbone in A View from the Bridge in New Jersey. Because that was my first encounter with the actor — where he played a frustrated and defeated man — I wasn’t prepared for his big stretch in his dynamic one-man show, The Jesus Factor.” See Brian's webshow, Counter Intelligence, on the RudeCast channel. |
