Bill D...a lot of gigs in here in England happen in Catholic Social Clubs, which tend to involve performing in front of a massive cross on the wall ( at the other end from the bar). And being a Catholic Club, the cross often has a largely brightly painted man hanging on it. This provides a rich subject for stand-up comedians(Catholic and non-Catholic) performimg at the clubs. An often used line is"I hear the last manager here was caught with his hand in the till.Look what they did to him!"
