The field of Christian Comedy has always been a tiny one. You've got Mark Lowry, Chonda Pierce, Jeff Allen... a handful of others. But let's be truthful: have you ever heard a Christian comedian from the current young generation? No offense to all the great comedians out there, but if Mom & Dad think they're hilarious, chances are, a lot of their stuff is going to leave teens and twenty-somethings groaning.
Enter Bob Smiley, whose I've Got A Funny Feeling About This is the first non-musical release from the very-hot Inpop Records. Smiley is younger than most of his comedic peers, and it shows in all of his material, which includes monologues about the same kind of stuff most comedians talk about, but with a more twisted sense of humor.
I've Got A Funny Feeling About This demonstrates that Bob Smiley is a comedian with a solid future ahead of him. At the very least, it's entertaining enough to keep most young adults glued to their seats, and that's quite a feat in today's climate, for someone who does nothing but talk. - Robin Parrish
