In God, the Bible and Everything, BBC comedy writer and ‘stand-up theologian’ James Cary explains the whole Bible, in one hour, with jokes and a big screen. And maybe even a song or two.
In this fast-moving show, written and developed for audiences of all ages, all faiths and none, James Cary shows how familiar Bible stories still in our culture like Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, the Tower of Babel, David and Goliath and Jesus all fit together. Can he really get through all that in 60 minutes? It will be fun finding out!
