MICHAEL DENNIS · NORTH VILLAGE CHURCH
A pastor walks into
a comedy club.
Yes, really. Michael Dennis is an Austin pastor who does stand-up about marriage, parenting, and the things we all do that make very little sense.
Never pictured a pastor on that stage? Start with a clip. You don’t have to share our faith to share a laugh.
Pastor at NVC. Comedian around Austin. Neighbor in both.
Fair question: is he funny?
Clean stand-up. Everyday life. Watch Michael perform in San Antonio.
COMEDY FOR A CAUSE
A good laugh. A local cause.
NVC brings comedians and neighbors together for shows benefiting local nonprofits. Past shows have supported:
Girlstart
Opening doors for girls in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Beneficiary · May 30, 2026
Mobile Loaves & Fishes
Serving neighbors experiencing homelessness in Austin.
Beneficiary · January 31, 2026
Both shows were organized with all proceeds designated for the featured nonprofit.
Why should a pastor be out in the community?
Because loving our neighbors means getting to know them. Following Jesus brings Michael into friendships beyond Sunday morning—with people whose beliefs and experiences may be very different from his own.
Listen beyond the church
Hear people’s stories firsthand. Understand what makes them laugh, what worries them, and what matters to them.
Make room for questions
A familiar face makes it easier to ask an honest question about faith—even a skeptical one.
Do something good together
Bring neighbors and comedians together around local needs, whether or not they attend our church.
