The Rev I. M. Jolly is one of the funniest and most enduring television characters ever created, brought to life by Scotland's best-loved comedian Rikki Fulton. Everyone has their favourite sketch, their favourite line or their funniest Jolly moment. But beyond the glamour of LAST CALL and away from the cameras, the Rev I. M. Jolly has a problem. Attendances at his regular Sunday services have slipped to a record low, and the Synod are not pleased. And when an ultimatum arrives in the post telling him he has one year to get bums on pews or he'll be looking for other employment, Jolly realises it's going to be hard work. But should he tell his wife, the dreaded Ephesia, or will that only make things ten times worse? How I Found God, and Why He Was Hiding From Me is the hilarious story of the Reverend I. M. Jolly, created by Rikki Fulton and brought to life by award winning writer Tony Roper. Follow Jolly's adventures as he nearly wins the lottery, thinks Ephesia has a fancy man, visits Erica's Erotic Massage Parlous, can't seem to get anyone to come to church on a Sunday, even if he pays them, and contemplates a life of unemployment, indolence and even more misery - if that's actually possible.

I M Jolly, a modern day stereotype of the clergy of yester-year, is brought to life by the superb writing by Tony Roper.The deliberate misconceptions of Jolly's inane vocabularly had me rolling with laughter as I avidly followed his antics. His pugilist wife Ephesia had me running for cover behind my favourite chair too, but I couldn't put the book down and declare it to be one of the best reads of my life. 10/10.

I bought this book because I had just discovered Rev.I.M.Jolly on YouTube at Christmas. Unfortunately, the book didn't live up to the TV monolgues.

Again this was a gift for a Scotsman abroad, so I didn't actually read it but found its condition excellent
