Milton Jones on comedy, Christianity, atheism and making people laugh
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- Milton Jones is an award-winning stand-up comedian, broadcaster, author, and 'Mock the Week' legend. He's a king of the one-liners, and crafter of the ‘Ten-Second Sermon’. Belle and Justin chat to Milton about his life, his comedy, and his Christian faith - as well as discussing the relationship between God and laughter.

There’s more to life than the world we can see. Re-Enchanting is a podcast from Seen & Unseen engaging faith and spirituality with leading figures in science, history, politics, art and education. Can our culture be re-enchanted by the vision of Christianity?
A genuinely funny man, a rare bird in that he's funny and uniquely himself.
Like Tim Vine. Another Christian.
Thanks for doing this..
I didn't know Tim Vine is a Christian
Enjoyed every minute of that. Milton Jones is such a funny man. And in an age where expletives and smut are the order of the day, it's a delight to enjoy his humour and not have to be embarrassed because your children or your mother are in the room with you.
A genius comedian and an honest and brave man in such a prejudiced Godless society we have - well done Milton - I didn’t even know you were religious- this makes you even more impressive.
Mate (IF there’s one thing to applaud Milton for) then it’s his authentic brand of clean witted comedy,.,. proves there’s no need for carnality. WTG Christian Soldier!!
I wonder how much his faith informs this part of his act? When I think of openly Christian comedians, Miles Jupp stands out as a comparatively sweary one. Actually, scratch that: I completely forgot about Frank Skinner 😅
I live in the USA and just discovered Mock the Week. Milton Jones is outstanding. I really enjoyed this discussion. Very insightful.
Sorry to disappoint you but Mock the Week has ended. Which is a problem for a topical comedy show. You'll have to settle for repeats, and excerpts here on RUclips.
Milton is one our best.
He's long been a one off, and we British eventually get around to realising our real talents
A national treasure.
I love Milton Jones comedy heater very talented entertainer. Also, his philosophy and faith are to be admired. Can I add to his analogy of an afterlife being the next stage in a school process? I believe it will be more than that:
The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother. - Bahá'u'lláh
He made Mock the Week worth watching.
Just for those brief unique interjections is so wonderfully funny amongst all of the unfortunate crowd who think have to swear to make people laugh.
You certainly get your money’s worth with Milton.
I love that Milton clearly thinks deeply about his responses. Fabulous interview!
I've always thought that same thing about comedy. It's a weapon of truth. Comedians are able to say taboo truths out loud by making them funny. Comedy is definitely a gift from God.
Absolutely loved this interview. Thank you so much ❤
Great interview. Compulsory viewing for Comedians, Religious people, & Atheists.
Love & respect the Audience, they pay the rent, & forgive your imperfections if they like you.
I did not know this about Milton Jones. I've never seen him with neat hair before
Love Milton and love that he is Christian.
Thanks. Humour is indeed a gift from God. I think more could have been made of its ability to bring people together. How often can people laugh together wven when they haven't grasped the joke. It helps to undermine the pompous (think of Jesus comment about the speck and the plank mentioned by Justin when talking to Frank Skinner). It can help break down barriers. Think of the 'Chuckle Brothers', Ian Paisley and Martin McGuiness in Northern Island.
Milton, King of Comedy
Very interesting. I've thought of doing stand up but this has made it even more of a mere thought. Honest. Thanks
An interesting interview.
BRILLANT INTERVIEW✅✅✅✅✅
Really enjoyed this one ❤
Having been born the son of a vicar, I get his point entirely about the cure before the poison.
Its as though youre born on a tangent to the world.
😄Good day from GOONELLABAH, NSW!🌏 Milton has been a favourite comedian.
Exciting news: in 227 sleeps, I'll embark on a six-month journey to circumnavigate Australia in two CYBERTRUCKs and a Tesla Semi, covering 22,000 kilometres and ending in February 2025.
🤗Cheers, Ian Cleland

This adventure isn't just about the kilometre and the impact we can create. I'm looking to build a team of six to join me, with a special call-out for a camera and sound crew to document our journey. Women like my wife Kate are encouraged to apply as they bring reliability and the necessary driving expertise.
As we travel, we aim to meet all the Premiers of the States, including notable figures like The Hon. Anthony Albanese, MP Prime Minister, and The Hon. Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Fun fact: I used to grab coffee with Anthony Albanese in Lewisham.

I will raise a minimum of AU$1,800.000.00. Those who have helped me the people and companies:
1. Nurses and Doctors
2. Base Hospital and Ballina Rehabilitation Hospital
3. NSW Ambulance Service
4. All my friends who are worse than me and people who have helped me. Lismore GSAC Baths.
5. Neuralink will help those who are worse off than me.
6. I take two Tesla Optimus robots.
7. Promote of Tesla - Cybertruck, Starlink, Optimus

I was the project manager and civil engineer. I worked as an engineer in Singapore from 1999 to 2005. We designed twelve-kilometre tunnels with two boring tunnel machines and five stations. I also managed 160 engineers and architects. I have been a contract engineer since 1975, Constructing sewage and water treatment plants from Melbourne to Cairns. I have enjoyed every minute of my life. Kate's wife is a well-known interior designer, and Kate was introduced to Grand Design in Australia-the ideal partnership for 50 years of marriage of the year.
I applied to NASA in 1974 to be an astronaut in the Apollo Space Program. I became an engineer.
I am promoting the Copenhagen Atomics reactor. Thorium encourages me, and it will be a Game-Changer in Energy.
I had a stroke on 4 July 2019. My wife, Kate, saved me. I am now swimming 120 lengths, 25m, at Goonellabah Pool, which has a total length of 3,000m, three times a week. I will swim in 25 m and 50 m pools when circumnavigating Australia.
Follow us on my channel on YT, and I will have the end of July of 2024 uploaded to YT and LinkedIn videos
🤗Cheers, Ian Cleland
You guys definitely have something with this podcast however too much preamble for modern consumption. Keep up the good work🙂
Bring back the irish jokes they were very funny
People of religious faith especially within christianity that endorse laughter due to comical effects as such is btw quite the opposite of what the tenets profess. The modern "christian" approach to mediate this uncomfortably chiming issue has been to water it down (read: cherry-pick and "interpret" beyond recognition) to a whole different version of what actually is written verbatim in scripture, which proves even the openly professing believers don't really want to take the commandments, rules and demands not to mention threats within anymore seriously than say claims being left without christmas presents lest exhibiting commonly considered decent behaviour through the year. In itself it statues as solid proof for reason and reality replacing superstition and mythology as arbiters in society.
Endorsing laughter because someone is funny is against the Bible, against Jesus? Never heard that before... Not found that verse. Found hundreds of verses on joy though.
It’s a shame Miltons microphone is crackly, spoils the interview
C s lewis wrote ‘we don’t have the right to be happy’ given the reality of the world in which we live. Comedy can be seen as ignoring the issue of HOPE. In comedy there can be no hope of a solution only a belly laugh of a situation. Comedy is being amused by the flaws of humans.
I'm a great fan of his one liners but I was born within walking distance of the Spurs ground but I'm a great fan of his one liners but I was born within walking distance of the Spurs ground but I'm a great fan of___________________________Help!
A comedian should do a FREE concert for then since they the public have justification to heckle you since money was exchanged, equally, a comedian can heckle an audience for liking certain jokes. And if the crowd don’t like it, move to the next village like the apostles in acts.
Mmmm...I think that was referring to sharing the gospel...
Two jokes:
1) If granny knew what we spent on her funeral, she'd turn over in her coffee can.
2) Jesus, at tomb of Lazarus: Lazarus, Come Forth!
Lazarus, poking his head out of tomb: Jesus! What does a guy have to do to get some rest around here?!
Cheers!
'Compulsory viewing for atheists'. What!?
Ephesians ‘Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.’. A christian comedian should be wholly different from a secular comedian. A christian comedian should make the public uncomfortable that they are laughing at something inappropriate. A comedian is like a very clever teacher. In for a penny. Then the penny drops.
I think you missed the point... He doesn't do obscene jokes.
"A Christian comedian should make the public uncomfortable that they are laughing at something inappropriate". That would involve telling them something inappropriate to begin with... Such a silly comment
@@KJ-lb4tj he stands with comedy that does do obscene jokes. You miss the point. He promoted obscene jokes by not denying other comedians the right to do obscene jokes. Jesus denied his apostles certain behaviour.
@@KJ-lb4tj a christian can say ‘turn the other cheek’. That makes the audience uncomfortable. He does not need to quote secularism. He only responds to secularism when the listener interjects about the biblical reference.
Authen tic Jonah. In Nineveh (when he eventually obeyed) Repent! Repent! Repent!
Tourette's Syndrome?
Man. That was dry...,😬
This is offensive to people from Essex .
Unwatchable - horrible distracting pointless text on screen
Came to hear from Milton. Left when you started with the Christianity nonsense.
Such prejudice you have
Milton is a Christian and it's a Christian podcast... What on earth were you expecting.
Being from the age of the mother-in-law jokes, I find the ‘planting’ of the non English homosexual in a wheel chair as a completely false agenda.
Certainly people of that ilk are in the British society, but their inclusion by proportion is not necessarily funny, as all they seem to talk about in their act is their ‘condition.’
Similarly with the adverts on TV. Britain is being sold out to the minorities, and as such is tending to loose much of it’s white Christian identity, which has such a lot to be quietly proud of, despite what the Woke minority would have us all believe.
You are confusing two things here. Real Christianity isn't a "white thing", after all it's the worship of a Jewish rabbi who was nailed to a cross as a trouble maker, and who was raised from the dead, and it's good news to all nations, races and tribes. One of the revolutionary things about the early church was Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor included in the same community and given equal value. Now cultural Christianity is admittedly something else entirely different but far less valuable.
I don't see how it's 'completely' false. Maybe partly because some of the comedians aren't funny - just like lots of comedians. Christian tradition does have lots to be proud of, and coming to terms with truth being told is an important part of the Christian commitment.
@@evanhadkins5532weird since christianity is a big lie in itself.
Christian identity is not 'white'. Christian identity is following Jesus. Jesus wasn't white by the way, but middle Eastern. You're planting a false identity.
'Re-enchanted = go back to believing in magic. No thanks folks...
Here's a Joke. "Everything in the Bible is Inerrant Word of God". Always gets a laugh.
just the bible?
A Milton joke: "When my grandfather was in hospital the nurses rubbed his back with vaseline. After that he went downhill very quickly."
Why, you old doubting Thomas you...
Considering that only fundamentalists, not mainstream Christians think that, it flies over the head of a lot of Christians.
As an atheist, I find his religiosity to be a great disappointment. Everything else is so clever.
Why are you atheists so judgemental? Why can’t you just leave people to believe what they want? And I bet you describe yourself as liberal’ - pathetic
You sound like the Taliban with such prejudice - why not let the man believe what he wants? Such a fascist statement you made. And I bet you call yourself liberal! Pathetic
Sorry you're having to deal with disappointment... That must be hard for you. IQ has nothing to do with religion, except more Christians go to Oxbridge than any other universities.
@@KJ-lb4tj The smart answer is that IQ also has little to do with intelligence (see The Mismeasurement of Man by S.J.Gould). If you knew anything about academic history you would know that universities were long under the thumb of the Church (see The Warfare of Science with Theology by A.D.White) and all dons were forced to take holy orders (unless they were Jewish, in which case they were entirely barred). This has led to the misapprehension that all of those clever Oxbridge scientists and mathematicians were very devout. The syndics have made sure that little has changed.
