Reviews from Halifax: 
"BIGGER THAN JESUS is theatrical soul food.  Miller is a wonderful comedian, singer and physical dynamo - an Olympian of an actor.  At the end of the performance I saw, Miller got an 'Amen' and a standing ovation". 
Halifax Chronicle Herald, read the full review and the preview article.

"Hats off to Neptune Theatre for bringing Rick Miller and Daniel Brooks' challenging and highly entertaining BIGGER THAN JESUS to Halifax.  This is clever stuff, masterfully produced.  This is theatre that pushes the envelope."
