Scotland’s Jesus: The Only Officially Non-racist Comedian

Reading Scotland's Jesus should be like being called into the living room by your child shouting that they see a little red dot on the head of a TV newscaster, then riding the white hot bullet through the propaganda circuitry of his or her exploding brain. It's a funny book about the news, partly because it was decided that a pornographic book about Scottish Independence wouldn't really sell. In chapters ranging from International Politics to the Animal World, ‘Scotland's Jesus’ is allowed the opportunity to showcase his increasingly unsympathetic worldview and disintegrating psyche. A torrent of jokes about recent events provide the framework for a broader philosophical despair. Frankie Boyle uses the stories of the popular press as a springboard to explain the nature of reality and the details of our enslavement to mirthless corporate Warlocks. Frankie Boyle, the Sunday Times bestselling author, continues to prove why he is at the top of his game with Scotland's Jesus. His humour, sharp as ever, cuts through the noise of the news, making this book a bestseller. For fans of James Acaster (Perfect Sound Whatever), Sarah Millican (How to be Champion), Billy Connolly (Rambling Man), Miriam Margolyes (Oh Miriam!), and Romesh Ranganathan (As Good As It Gets).
