James Cary is a comedy writer. He has written sitcoms for BBC TV and radio, including Miranda, Bluestone 42, Think the Unthinkable and Hut 33. He is the author of Writing That Sitcom, Death by Civilisation and most recently The Sacred Art of Joking. He is also a member of General Synod.
He spoke to Elizabeth Oldfield about how he doesn’t feel fully at home in either his church tribe or his comedy tribe, why he doesn’t mind that his socially conservative views offend some people, and the importance of defending the freedom to makes jokes — because they make us fully human.
