Join King of Glory, Dallas for Isaac’s Comedy Club
King of Glory, Dallas launched an exciting new outreach ministry—Isaac’s Comedy Club—and the community is invited! This family-friendly comedy experience celebrates God’s gift of laughter and joy, inspired by Jesus’ words in John 16:33: “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
In partnership with Dallas Comedy Club regulars, Isaac’s Comedy Club offers clean, engaging storytelling and improv that brings people together across generations—from ages 8 to seniors. It’s a fresh way to connect, laugh, and share the good news with friends and neighbors in North Dallas.
Join us Saturday, January 10, for an evening of clean, engaging comedy featuring Dallas Comedy Club regulars, with audience participation and plenty of surprises.
Doors open at 7:00 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM
This year’s theme: Another Year, Another Laugh!
This event is open to the community and designed for all ages—from 8 to seniors. Bring your friends, your family, and your best sense of humor!
Tickets: $10 per person | $20 for families/groups
Reserve your spot and help us fill the room with laughter!
