Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Jokes and humorous stories on some of the following issues: True life stories of preachers and religious leaders; faux pas from the pulpit, on websites, notice boards etc; baptisms, marriages funerals, spoonerisms, dealing with hecklers; visits by clergymen to homes and hospitals; difficult members of congregations; epitaphs on grave stones; religious chat up lines; children’s responses to religion; signs outside churches, etc. Religious jokes from Vicar Joe G K Chesterton once wrote that the test of a good religion is how much it can laugh at itself. So after two successful plays and a one-man show, Vicar Joe returns with this hilarious compendium of religious jokes, including faux pas from the pulpit and notice boards; jokes about baptisms, marriages and funerals; epitaphs on grave stones; religious chat-up lines; children’s take on religion; Bible facts that may have escaped you and much much more. Co-author Peter Read says, “For some people, religion and humour go together as easily as root canal work at the dentist’s and a plateful of chocolate éclairs. Too often the church is linked with boredom and seriousness. Compiling this book, we have come to realise that lots of funny things happen in places of worship. There are so many ceremonies where something can go wrong. Total immersion is asking for trouble and this book is also brimming with stories of mayhem in christenings, weddings, Sunday services and even funerals.” Vicar Joe is the football-mad alter ego of Swansea’s all-round entertainer, Kevin Johns. The character was created in 2006 when Peter Read was asked to write a play about football for Swansea Grand Theatre. The comedy, which was called Toshack or Me! featured a vicar (Joe) who was so keen on watching Swansea City that he cancelled weddings if they clashed with matches. He also refused to marry one couple where the groom-to-be supported Swansea and she followed Cardiff City. In 2008 Vicar Joe reappeared in the play To Hull and Back , whilst in February 2009 the one-man show Vicar Joe was premiered at Swansea Grand Theatre Arts Wing.
