Here at Thought Quotient, we’ve been big fans of Kerri Pomarolli ever since we first met her at the 2006 GMA Awards in Nashville earlier this year. This actress - turned stand-up comic - is open and honest about her faith in Hollywood. We’re honored to have Kerri as a ‘guest blogger’ from time to time as she updates us on what she (and her husband Ron Mcgehee - check him out at www.funnyron.com) are up to.

Stand Up Comedian, Supermodel Wannabe (‘Tyra, Call Me’)

I first got into stand up comedy because I wanted to do clean material in Hollywood. I had no idea what doors would be opened if I just started speaking my heart. Because my heart was to talk about what is real in my life and that really revolves around my walk with Jesus and all the crazy adventures that go along with us. It started out as me being the “Christian Chick” in the bars and clubs and then progressed to being a full time ministry using comedy. Thought Quotient has been very supportive of my ministry after we met at the Gospel Music Awards where I was honored to host the pre show. There’s nothing like doing stand up comedy with Amy Grant and Stephen Curtis Chapman in the front row! All I could think about was my first album - Amy Grant’s “Unguarded”. Anyway, there have been many wonderful opportunities for me to be an “out of the closet Christian” in Hollywood even though it’s a hard road. I remember when Mel Gibson got arrested how infuriated I was that no one was standing up for him and saying that he’s just a human like anyone else and he should be forgiven. It would not be a popular stance in Hollywood because a lot of people just hate him purely because of his faith and his stand on moral issues. They want to see him brought down.
