Are You Having a Laugh? - Comedy and Christianity (2013x211)

:

From Life of Brian to Rev, our country holds a strong tradition of Christian based comedy. To mark Holy Week, Ann Widdecombe looks at some of our favourite comedies to see why Christianity is such ripe material for comedy. Comedians and commentators - including Marcus Brigstocke and Monty Python's Terry Jones - join Ann to help shed light on what comedy can reveal about how we view this country's major religion.
