Dykotomy in PTOWN

Born in the rust belt and reared in the bible belt, Kristen Becker’s comedy has been described as “a bawdy sense of reality, served with a slice of southern charm” as she dances gingerly back and forth between drunken redneck and woke women studies major. Becker playfully explores the good and bad of both sides of the aisle, and leaves you wondering whether we really are that different after all.

DYKOTOMY @ The PILGRIM HOUSE

Born in the rust belt and reared in the bible belt, Kristen Becker’s comedy has been described as “a bawdy sense of reality, served with a slice of southern charm” as she dances gingerly back and forth between drunken redneck and woke women studies major. Becker playfully explores the good and bad of both sides of the aisle, and leaves you wondering whether we really are that different after all. A twenty year veteran of stand up comedy, she continues to skewer the status quo with her salty social commentary. 

Becker has worked with everyone from underground comedy legend Doug Stanhope, punk preacher Jay Bakker (yes, Jim and Tammy Faye were his parents) and Righteous Babe Ani DiFranco. This woman has range! She could spend the rest of this bio convincing you she is funny, but knows you probably stopped reading after the first two lines and at this point you’ve made your decision. 

But also, she is REALLY funny.

Loosen the Bible Belt: A Tour for Humanity at The Secret Group

The Secret Group Presents

Loosen the Bible Belt: A Tour for Humanity

Sun. 11/4 | Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM | $10 ADV | $15 DOS

What happens when you put an evangelical minister and a lesbian comedian together in a van? An event for anyone who believes that love and laughter can change the world.

The fight for civil rights is in full force in 2017, with a slew of discriminatory laws rearing their ugly heads in Southern states all over the U.S. People of the LGBT community are the targets in this current culture war, and now is the time for people who believe in equality for everyone to stand on the right side of history. Comedian Kristen Becker (founder, Dykes of Hazard Comedy) and Pastor Jay Bakker (founder, Revolution Church, host of This is Radiocast) believe it’s entirely possible to smooth over the rifts in an ever-increasingly divided society through the use of human elements that never discriminate: love and laughter.

Becker, an outspoken lesbian comedian, stumbled across a copy of the documentary, “One Punk Under God,” which featured Pastor Bakker and his church, Revolution Ministries. Becker was enthralled with Pastor Bakker’s personal revelation that the LGBT community was unfairly being shut out of the evangelical church. Seeing his genuine interest in doing what was right and knowing a large percentage of southern friends were raised evangelical, but then shut out of their own churches, Becker reached out to Bakker. A few Twitter messages and emails later, “Loosen the Bible Belt” was born and swiftly put on the road, to great success across the Southern United States last year.

Expect a stand-up comedy show that stumbled upon a revival, and imagine it all happens in a bar. Bakker’s message of love and acceptance, balanced with Becker’s comedy often referred to as “bawdy and bold, served with a slice of southern charm” promises to be a night to remember.

Loosen the Bible Belt will not only serve as an entertaining night, but will also help create awareness for LGBTQ groups fighting the good fight in these southern states. A portion of proceeds from shows will be donated to groups working so all southern citizens have equal rights.

Reletively new space dedicated to lesbian art and culture now resides with Rust Belt Books on Grant Street. It’s called The She-She Room. Rust Belt Books proprietor Kristi Meal describes the mainly word of mouth venue as, “…an unapologetic low-fi evening of art and culture around writing and art of lesbian descent meant to stimulate, antagonize and instigate a focus on sub-cultural arts. It’s more about self-initiating toward an evening of receiving art than who’s doing what. Unpredictable variation is part of an artistic evening.”
