  • Summary

  • 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.

    You'll never look at this part of the Bible the same way again. Sorry about that. But I thought you might enjoy it. Don't forget to share the podcast. I'm not sure for how long it's going to be here and remain free!

    Still not a huge fan of Bunyan, although I admire him as a fellow brother and believer immensely! Honest! Anyway, hope you enjoy this. Don't worry. The joke's on me eventually. If you want to find out how, get the book:
