Angel Studios and Dry Bar Comedy launched a new stand-up comedy special in Jan. featuring “Loveline” icon Adam Carolla.
“In spring 2024, we met Adam and discovered our shared passion for disrupting Hollywood,” Neal Harmon, CEO of Angel Studios said in a statement. “He embraced the challenge to create a family-friendly set for Dry Bar Comedy, showcasing his sharp wit. Rising to the occasion, he not only nailed it, but received a standing ovation from the audience.” “Angel Studios opportunity for me to do a clean comedy set was a challenge I just had to accept, and am really happy with how well the special turned out!” Carolla said of the work, which filmed in Sept. 2024 in front of two sold-out crowds.
Where Can You Watch The Special?
You can sign up for Angel Studios to see the special and be sure to watch the trailers on YouTube! Carolla tackles a whole heap of extremely important issues (not) such as Olympic fencing styles by country, the commonalities between rich and poor people, but not the middle class.
The set combines Carolla’s gravely tone and frank perceptions of the world, many of which you’ve likely heard via his podcast “The Adam Carolla Show” — which is the most downloaded podcast, according to Guinness World Records. He’s also a New York Times best-selling author, and will likely earn a whole load of more career successes in the months to come if he leans into creative partnerships with faith-driven media.
Hollywood & Faith
Back in Dec., we covered a whole host of Hollywood and faith-driven stories, shedding light on the evolution of Christian entertainment as a form of mainstream media. “I was reading [the breakdown] of all the studios, what they’re looking for, and this project and that,” actor Neal McDonough told Glenn Beck at the time. “And never ever, ever, have I seen before, of the 10 [studios] four or five of them at the bottom say, ‘oh, by the way, if you have something of faith, we’re very interested this year.’”Comedian Matt Rife also revealed he was baptized in 2024, despite admitting that he “hates” going to Church.
