About this show
Oli Riordan studied Catholic theology for the same reason every other bisexual atheist studies Catholic theology. You have to know your enemy. Join Oli (Dublin's Next Top Comic runner-up 2019 and Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year semi-finalist 2025) for his debut hour as he delves into the world of Catholicism and the Bible as only he can, pausing only to point out the silly, interesting and thoroughly relatable aspects of the world's best-selling, but least read, book.
