←Recommendations of The Four Groomsmen of the Apocalypse

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!

Starting wild and only getting wilder from there, it's the wedding to end all other weddings, but even (or maybe especially during the apocalypse) it might be too much to expect that everything will go according to plan.

It’s the wedding of Double Millennium. The end of days has come and the Messiah himself is ready to tie the knot with his beloved; and, with three of the Four Horseman at his side (Pestilence is out sick), nothing could possibly ruin the big day - except perhaps Chad. An irreverently hilarious takedown of Christianity, the institution of marriage, and Alpha culture. Revelations has never been so provocative (or funny.)

If this is the way the world ends, then I’m glad John Busser is writing the script. At least we know there will be plenty of laughs on the way out. Some possibly broken commandments and terrific word play give this play its edgy humor. I was waiting for a “hanging Chad” reference and was not disappointed. No matter your beliefs, you better believe this is one you don’t want to miss.

Bitting satire in all its perverse and humoured glory. John Busser strikes again with "The Four Groomsmen of the Apocalypse". Like the late and equally biting Christopher Durang, Mr. Busser is untamed in his delivery and execution. Nicely done, John.

Sacre-licious! The usual hilarious insanity by John Busser that kept me laughing throughout, even if I may now need a few "Hail Mary's" after reading it. Just kidding, of course... I think. Anyway, this is absolutely going to bust up the right kind of audience; and so, if you've got that right kind of audience, you probably should book this wedding into your festival before it's too late. If you know what I mean, and I think you do.

A wedding comedy + an apocalypse?! Only from Busser! This is the bang we all want to go out on. Fun characters and naughty jokes. And some jerk named "Warren?" You will have so much fun executing this play, along with the world as we know it.

If Mr. Busser gets struck by lightning in the near future, The Four Groomsmen of the Apocalypse will probably be why. John's sacrifice will not have been in vain, however, as this play is a hoot and a half!
