In God, the Bible and Everything, BBC comedy writer and ‘stand-up theologian’ James Cary explains the whole Bible, in one hour, with jokes, a big screen and a few props. And maybe even a song.
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, the Ten Plagues, Noah’s Ark, David and Goliath and Jesus’s birth, life, death and resurrection all fit together. Can he really get through all that in 60 minutes? It will be fun finding out!
