In regards to the video, maybe I can clear it up for some of you, as it took place at my church (that is to say, the church I attend and work at).

It was recorded Friday night at a Comedy Night our church sponsored featuring Jeremy Foster and Clergy Comedy (which Kelly Ventura is a part of along with Darrin Sargent).

This event was held to kick off the opening of our new children's and youth facility.

It was definitely a staged fight, maybe Bro. Ventura didn't want to acknowledge that because it was part of the joke. There was an elaborate setup for it and the audience was in on it. It was (and is) funny because of the bad rap Bakersfield generally gets.

The whole night was a blast and I am sorry that some of you didn't get to be there, because you obviously need a laugh to lighten you up! :tease


I had a good time teasing Bro. Ventura, I think he is really cool. Love his website. Glad you stopped by.

The reaction by the audience and the host pretty much gave it away as a joke. I'm personally not saying that it wasn't funny, there was just some confusion as to whether it was an actual assault or just an elaborate joke. I think that it's neat that you all have a comedy night by the way.

I was hoping he would be open and honest with us, and perhaps explain his comic thinking ect.

You know dialog? I know you know what that is Stew-you are quite good at it. It may take a newbie a while to figure it how it works around here.:)

That's cool!

I wasn't sure if it was actually him or someone pretending to be him. Either way, it didn't seem like a real assault. I hope he does stick around though. I'll have to check out his site.

It wasn't actually Brother Ventura that took the hit. He has a great website and ministry from what I read.
