A Comedian's Prayer Book

By: Frank Skinner

Narrated by: Frank Skinner

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.

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.

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

Not For Me - Dry Humor

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