Stephon Raickett Christian Comedian

Stephon Raickett (better known as Stephon the Christian Comedian) is a native Chicagoan. Born a preacher's kid, he learned at an early age how to see the “Funny” in everyday life situations. Life experiences has helped Stephon appreciate a “good joke” and the joy of making others laugh. He always knew (in one way or another) he would someday make a career out of helping people experiencing happiness even in the darkest circumstances. Stephon began his entertainment career at an early age, performing in grammar school talent shows and continued throughout his high school years. In the fall of 1987, he received a scholarship in Theatre Technology from Kennedy-King College in Chicago, Illinois. By the spring of 1988 he made his first professional stage debut in theatre production “One Monkey Don't Stop No Show.” Instantly this thespian knew it was “Love at first sight.” It is that love (and great reviews) that opened the door for many other Productions. His theatrical resume includes productions: Stardust Review, The Wiz, Fences, The Color Museum and Chicago. It was Stephon Raickett Christian Comedian/Minister during his performance in hit stage play Chicago that caught the attention of “Internationally Known” Comedian/Actor Bernie Mac. Unknowingly to Stephon, Mack was in the audience and after the show approached him and encouraged him to pursue “Stand-Up Comedy.” By 1990, Stephon started performing at various “Comedy Clubs” first in Chicago then throughout Illinois area. In 1991, Stephon moved to California to pursue his dream of being an actor. His debut appearance was in film “Menace to Society.” Following that he was given the opportunity to worked “Behind the Scenes” in film production on many “Box-Office Hits.” It was then Stephon realized his “discomfort” with the ungodly relationships and lifestyles that many in the “Industry” offered (and indulged). That uneasiness soon sent him back to Chicago to reassess his future. As a preacher's kid Stephon had seen (and experienced) the many facets of our African American churches. Consequently, he developed a unique style of comedy that deals directly with the realistic humor of church folks and our issues. Stephon’s comedy ranges from: the “Church Mothers” giving long testimonies and singing songs no one knows the words of Deacons who wear outdated fashion and render lengthy Prayers, choirs that bring forth songs of praise with their own unique style, to Preachers that deliver sermons that come from the Movie of the Week. As Stephon delivers the jokes he admits and proclaims, “I Got Issues.” Then gives you an array of examples. Stephon creates a clear example of what the “Bible” means when it says, “A merry heart doeth good like medicine.” Comedy and entertainment “Insiders” call him, “One of the most exciting and talented Christian comedians on the circuit today.” If you have seen him, certainly you are missing a treat. Stephon concludes, “A good man steps is ordered by the Lord. I am asking God to please continue to ‘Order’ mine.”
