David Baddiel has been at the top of comedy for many years – often using stories about his complex family for his hilarious, but sometimes painful material.

He’s also a celebrated writer, having a huge impact with his children’s books and the polemic, Jews Don’t Count.

His most recent book, The God Desire (published on April 13th, 2023), explains why although he yearns for there to be a God, he can’t bring himself to believe in one. David has fascinating insights throughout our wide-ranging conversation.
