    Having struggled through the Episcopal church's confirmation classes in Grade 8, I now believe that if I had learned about the faith in the way John Busser teaches us, I'd have stuck around for the reception. As it is, this Quaker gets all the references and the sly humor that is John's stock in trade and makes him one of my favorite writers and traveling companion. Read this without cracking up and there's no hope for you.

    John Busser’s The Four Groomsmen of the Apocalypse is a sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy that leans fully into its outrageous premise and delivers. Busser has a real gift for blending irreverence with smart, fast-paced humor, taking big, familiar ideas and twisting them into something wildly entertaining. The dialogue crackles, the characters are distinct and hilarious, and the comedy lands with confidence from start to finish. It’s bold, clever, and consistently funny.

    JOHN BUSSER is one funny guy, with wit, wisdom and weirdness. Just kidding. John is SO SERIOUS. We’re at a solemn wedding where JC, Son of G-d, is getting married. What could be sweeter? Of course, it’s the last day before the Apocalypse; Death, Famine, War or Warren, are groomsmen. There’s a Jewish girl rather than a Catholic girl as the Bride; and —- you REALLY need to read this brilliant, hilarious, crazy ten-minute play, “The Four Groomsmen Of The Apocalypse”. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
