Looking for an unusual comedic experience? Luna's Cafe and Juice Bar might be the answer with its three nights of Keith Lowell Jensen comedy. Heck, you may even be able to grab a drink with the comedian after the show.

Jensen has been a part of the Science Comedy Tour, the Coexist? Comedy Tour and is notorious for cracking jokes about religion and science – not your typical stand-up fare.

Jensen became a regular attendee of the Midnight Movie program at the Crest Theatre at the age of 15. Then he got more familiar with the Crest and started watching a larger variety of films as well.

It didn't take long for him to meet the theater's manager Sid Heberger, who has since worked with Jensen on a number of festivals at the Crest like the Trash Film Orgy and, most recently, the All Sketch Comedy Festival.

"He was always full of ideas, saying, 'You should do this. We should do that. You should do that,' ” Heberger said. “I thought of him like, 'Go away kid. Stop bothering me!' But he was persistent and kept coming around with new ideas.”

"In 2001, he convinced me to do the Trash film Orgy,” she added. “We partnered on that, and that helped build our relationship, since we were working together all the time. We've become the best of friends. It's really great working with him because he's just really enthusiastic. He just sets his mind to something and then does it."

On the Coexist? Comedy Tour, which has already run for two years, Jensen looks at religion from an atheist perspective. "I co-founded the Coexist Tour," he said, "[because] I like people coming together laughing at their differences, and then afterwards all having a drink."

While doing this tour, he met Brian Malow, who was the "guest Jew" in a group that already included a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and atheist.

His material for the science comedy came naturally for Jensen. "I'd written jokes that I didn't do anywhere else, jokes about different scientific stories that I'd heard on NPR, and then when I was done, I'd sit down and say, 'Well, I'll never use that.' Then Brian says, ‘Hey do you want to do this science comedy show?' and I'm like, 'Yeah, I've got a whole file of jokes I'd never use otherwise.' "

A self-proclaimed internet addict, he's constantly blogging about everything from dreams to the jobs he's had to sea monkeys. He's even completed a book, Atheist Survival Guide, A Humorous Guide to Getting By in a God-Fearing World and a film Why Lie? I Need a Drink .

The motivation behind the book, which will be published by American Atheist publishing and will "make a great Christmas present" he said, was to explain some of the stories behind the jokes.

"I did research into these religions and these religious groups" Jensen said , and it goes "a little deeper into the subject matter I delve into in the Coexist? comedy tour."

As a part of the making of the film, Why Lie? I Need a Drink, Jensen spent time over a few years as a panhandler. He starred and directed the documentary which received some positive and negative attention.

"The experiment is as much an extended gag and art project as a serious social commentary, but it can't help being thought-provoking in the process" said a review of the film in the Capital Weekly. Other reactions were not as receptive, but quite a bit more visceral.

"Some of the initial responses we got were, 'How dare you make fun of homeless people?'” said Jensen, who wanted to have "[the homeless] be viewed as full, three-dimensional people, not just someone you feel sorry for or ridicule."

"What I got to see was that they're just people, and they might actually just be really funny," he added.

For three nights, Friday, April 17, Saturday, April 18, and Friday, April 24, Jensen will be doing a recording of his own live at Luna's Cafe and Juice Bar at 1414 16th St. The first night will be his club act, the second night will have a religious theme and the third night will be experimental. Tickets are $10 for each night and doors open at 7 p.m. for drinks, while the comedy starts at 8 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets early, because the venue is small, and seats will sell out quickly.

"I hope my whole audience will, after Luna's, cross the street to Simon's and hang out for a while," Jensen said. "I have some cigars to smoke, and it should be a really nice time."
