What's so funny about faith? Beyond Belief
-
- 宗教與靈修
Is religion funny? Or are some subjects just too sacred for satire?
Religious institutions are large establishments, but does this give people the right to joke about them? And can religion itself be seen as funny?
Aleem Maqbool talks to Eman El Husseini, Muslim comedian, and wife of Jewish comic Jess Salomon who together hosted Comedians vs The News on BBC World Service, about her belief that religion itself is funny and how this influences her stand-up material.
Comedians Rachel Creeger, Paul Kerensa, and Aatif Nawaz join our panel to discuss when they started to joke about faith, whether they think religion is funny and whether we should draw a line between what we should and shouldn't joke about.
Producers: Katharine Longworth and Rebecca Maxted
Assistant Producer: Ruth Purser
