Kristen Becker, and Pastor Jay Bakker will perform at Babeville.

Comedian Kristen Becker (Founder, Dykes of Hazard Comedy) and Pastor Jay Bakker ( Founder, Revolution Church, Host of This is Radiocast Podcast) are teaming up in the name of equality. Becker, an outspoken lesbian comedian, stumbled across a copy of the documentary "One Punk Under God" which features Pastor Bakker and his church, Revolution Ministries. Becker was enthralled with Pastor Bakker's personal revelation that the LGBTQ community was unfairly being shut out of the Evangelical church. Seeing his genuine interest in doing what was right and knowing a large percentage of the southern friends were being raised Evangelical, but then shut out of their own churches, Becker reached out to Bakker. A few Twitter messages and emails later, "Loosen the Bible Belt" was born. This spring, the duo are kicking off a 15-city tour in Buffalo at Asbury Hall.
