Does God LOL?

Father Frankie Mulgrew, stand-up turned priest, talks about the connection between faith and comedy and blues musician Eric Bibb plays live in the studio.

Following Radio 2's showcase of new comedy talent, Father Frankie Mulgrew joins the Rev Kate Bottley and Angie Greaves to talk about faith and comedy. The son of entertainer Jimmy Cricket, and a former stand-up himself, Father Frankie is now a Catholic priest. He spoke to many famous comedians of faith for his book 'Does God LOL?'.

Blues, gospel and americana musician Eric Bibb plays live in the studio in the midst of his UK tour. An artist who has delved into his spirituality through his music, Eric shares his memories from his upbringing in the civil rights era in the United States, and discusses 40 years in music and his mastery of the acoustic guitar.

Plus Kate is getting excited for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 and we'll be meeting our latest Charity Champion, someone doing something extraordinary for a cause they are passionate about.

We love hearing from our listeners, nominate your Charity Champion or request a hymn or worship song by emailing gms@bbc.co.uk.
