The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer
It’s a podcast. But it’s also an audiobook. No prizes for guessing which book I’ll be reading from. That would be the Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer written and read by me, James Cary. I’m a sitcom writer for the BBC, with a hand in Miranda, Bluestone 42, Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones, Hut 33, My Hero, My Family, Citizen Khan. You get the idea. Half hour comedy is my bag. I’m a sitcom guy.
But I’m also a Christian, an Anglican, a stand-up theologian and the author of The Sacred Art of Joking, a look at how religion and comedy intersect published by SPCK. You can get that on Amazon, and the audio version on Audible.
But you can’t get The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer, a book that also deals with religion and comedy. And is quite funny, if I do say so myself. I own the audio rights to that book, or least, no-one bought them. So why not? Here it is. A new chapter each week, and maybe some other related content over the coming weeks and months and possibly years, stuff that interests me, and that I think will interest you.
The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer
Simon Peter Walks on Water (Tra-la-la-la-laaa-la-la-la-la)
This is the one where Simon Peter walks on Water. In fact, I've just realised that in the intro I say that only one person has walked on water. It was two. Jesus. AND Simon Peter. But then it started to go south. I imagine what happened next. Let the ribbing begin.
You can buy The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer: Why John’s Gospel is Much Funnier Than You Thought. In a Good Way (SPCK) on Amazon UK here. If you're in the UK, you can buy a signed copy direct from the author HERE.
You can buy James's previous book The Sacred Art of Joking (SPCK) as an Audiobook
