The Rev Kate Bottley explores the belief that laughter is a gift from God and meets clowns and comedians who explain how humour and joy profoundly connect them with their faith. Kate meets Mattie Faint, who has been a professional clown for over 50 years. Mattie is a key figure in planning one of the most unusual church services you will ever see – London’s annual clown service held at All Saints Church, Haggerston. The Rev Laura Luz, who leads the service, shares the joy of having a church full of clowns and explains the significance of humour in fostering inclusivity within the church. Social media content creators John and Jade Reynolds discuss the healing power that laughter has had on their lives. They have garnered millions of views online through their videos, which use humour to explore and challenge perspectives on topics like faith, family and Jade’s paraplegia.
