Reverend Billy & Stop Shopping Choir - The Fabulous Unknown UK Tour

Work:: Reverend Billy & Stop Shopping Choir (S0748467619)

Reverend Billy Talen is an actor, performance artist and activist who began his experimental preaching in Times Square in 1994. Soon singers were accompanying his 'retail Interventions' inside chain stores, principal targets being Disney, GAP, Nike, and Starbucks. He is legally banned from every branch of Starbucks in the USA and the coffee giant has issued a memo to its managers 'What should I do if Reverend Billy is in my store?' The Church of Stop Shopping hold 'services' wherever they can, in theatres, churches, community centres, forests, parking lots, shopping malls, and perhaps most importantly, inside stores, as close to the cash register as they can get, within spitting distance of the point of purchase. Their feature film 'What Would Jesus Buy' was produced by Morgan Spurlock and their earlier film Preacher With an Unknown God won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
