Clare Balding hosts the topical faith show and speaks to American comedian Jackie Mason about his life, work and beliefs. Her faith guest is artist and composer Adrian Munsey.

Ahead of a six-night show in London, American comedian Jackie Mason joins Clare to talk about his life, work and beliefs. Jackie Mason was raised in Manhattan; at the age of 25, he was ordained a rabbi like his father, grandfather, great-grandfather and his brothers. Three years later, he quit to become a comedian because, as he says, "Somebody in the family had to make a living." Clare's faith guest is the artist and composer Adrian Munsey.
