Having caught a live reading of A Higher Power, I can once again report that Busser has a gift for outrageous scenarios, razor-sharp dialogue, inspired puns, and storytelling that seems gloriously dumb right up until you realize how smart it is. Equal parts hilarious and blasphemous, it's the kind of play that will have audiences laughing hysterically while probably offending at least a few others. Now, if someone could please convince Busser to write a full-length play, I'd be grateful.

Saw this play read at the Valdez Theatre Conference and it is SO MUCH FUN. I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard in one sitting. As someone with a rough relationship to Christianity, this comedy was very healing to see. And the puns? They keep coming and coming and coming. You've never seen Christ (or Chris?) quite like this. Bravo to John Busser!

This short is a treasure. Jesus, Peter, and Paul are imprisoned together, Jesus makes pot brownies to calm their nerves, and the entire play is a delight. I love the mix of Biblical and modern language ("Would you calm thy country ass down?"), and any audience would be helpless not to laugh along at their sheer delight and silly jokes as they get gigglier and gigglier. This play is my favorite combination of very smart and very silly.
