The Power That Is Chonda Pierce....

"I was lucky enough to attend the taping of this DVD back in January. The range of emotions I experienced that night was unexpected and rather amazing. I literally went from laughing hysterically to bawling my eyes out in about 2 minutes flat. That, my friends, is the power that is Chonda Pierce.
I'm nowhere near menopause yet but her take on the "change of life" is nothing short of hilarious! Then again, this woman could probably make the A-B-C's funny. There's something about the way she delivers a line -- the tone of her voice and facial expressions -- that is second to none. The stories about her Mom and the mini-bar and the plastic nativity set (have you seen Jesus?) are some of my favorites.
Other highlights of "A Piece Of My Mind" are the powerful musical numbers. Not only is this woman funny, but she's an awesome singer too! Ok, so the menopause-inspired "Heat Wave" isn't really "powerful" but it is a rather creative parody on an old song that we all know and...well, know. The other three songs, "My Soul Will Wait," "Christ Is Formed In Me" and "I Want To Say Thank You," will have you reaching for the tissue box. Simply brilliant!
If you're a sucker for bonus features like I am, then you'll be quite happy! The chat with actress Sheri Shepherd is a heart-warming and frank look at what it's like to be a Christian in Hollywood. Of course, there are a few laughs thrown in for good measure. That brings us to my favorite part of the DVD -- the bloopers! Well, you'll just have to buy the darn thing and see those for yourself! ;-)
Bottom line: Buy this DVD. It will make a "precious" addition to your collection!"

"Oh I just love Chonda Pierce. I have both the cd and video. I went and saw her in person. She is just so precious, and hilarious. We need more Christian comedians like her. I would recommend this to everyone."

"This was hilarious & touching all in one hour. Chonda is so funny, yet she can turn it around and really get to the meat of how God is good to her. I recommend it to everyone."
Some funny stuff but not her best

"Chonda Pierce is a scream! Her show is a beautiful collection of jokes, songs, and pieces of her, her brother's and her sister-in-law's testimony. If you don't have the opportunity to see her concert in person, or if you just need a refresher, watch this DVD. She will move you every which way there is, especially closer to God. God bless Chonda!Laughing in the Dark: A Comedian's Journey through Depression"
