Here is ep 4 of my new @BBCRadio4 show, already the # 1 stand up show on @BBCSounds. This one tells the story of how I transitioned from Orthodox Judaism to a passion for tattoos, and why I don’t care what God or even Melanie Philips thinks of them.

Here’s Ep 3 of the new @BBCRadio4 series; the bizarre story of my 15 year hyperfixation with Orthodox Judaism. Have a listen to the #1 stand-up show on @BBCSounds and the episode that has prompted several people to tell me they’re now praying for me!

Here’s ep 2 of my new @BBCRadio4 series in which I confess my guiltiest pleasure: PRO WRESTLING.

I explain how I fell in love with Big Daddy, how our rabbi introduced me to Hulk Hogan, and how this passion has united four generations of Blakers.

Here’s ep 1 of the series, in which I discuss my years as a long-haired history student, during which time I became completely obsessed with pre-English Civil War religion! They say history is written by the victors, but it is also studied by the losers.
