About this listen

Comedian and TV and radio host Frank Skinner talking to his biggest audience yet - God.

A Comedian's Prayer Book. The title is a worry, isn't it?

God is a tough audience as far as audible response is concerned, but at least you don't have to explain the references. In this collection of prayers, much-loved comedian, broadcaster and radio host Frank Skinner has tried to retain the bare candour of the rehearsal-room improvisation - to show what faith feels like, from the inside - but infused it with all the production values required to make it a passable public entertainment. In it are his convictions, his questions, his fears, his doubts, his elations - all presented in an eavesdropper-friendly form.

Hell, judgement, atheism, money, faith and the X-Men all feature: it's a bit like reading the Bible, except you only get one side of the conversation and all the jokes are left in.

Go on, try it!

top tip for the simple minded like me; I listened to the audio whilst reading along in the book. I found it helped. I loved spending time looking at faith having not considered it for a long while. Frank's words gave me the opportunity to do this whilst considering why my own faith was so lapsed and I'm now thinking that maybe that's not such a good thing

I laughed, I learned, I wanted to share this with everyone.

Great short listen. Funny, poignant, relatable. Hearing the book in Frank's voice lends to the feeling of chatting with him about God while having a pint in your living room.

Not For Me - Dry Humor

The reader’s voice was monotone, uninteresting, and boring. The stories were not humorous from my perspective.
