Roly Bain- Holy Fool

Simply, Let Us Play

What They’ve Said!

“It was quite obvious from the reaction and response of both children and adults alike that God is using you in a very special way.  The subtle, and sometimes the not so subtle, emphases on the Gospel message come over in a tremendous way, and we are pleased to say you touched many hearts.” (Vicar)

“Thanks for coming and for a brilliant performance!  It has been much talked about and did far more for the Christian Gospel than the endless meetings that we have!” (Vicar)

“I loved your show—you made Christ serious but funny.” (9 year-old boy)

“Thank you for being silly and serious.” (Ben, aged 5)

“It was wonderful! There were so many levels—sheer fun on the surface; the powerful preaching of the Gospel; and the closeness of comedy to tragedy.  You heard the laughter, but did you see the tears? It was so deeply moving.  It will take a long time to process and digest.  Those who came would not have missed it for anything.” (Anglican nun)

“That was a real triumph!  Even one of our more anti-church staff told me how impressed he was!  Sixth formers who don’t think Christianity is cool enough to associate with all turned up voluntarily as well.  Thank you for giving yourself so wholeheartedly to us.  You have not only the message of the timeless, unchanging gospel, but also your own special perspective on it and delivery of it—unique in my experience.” (Senior School teacher)

“We are so lucky to have you as one of the less likely parts of the Church’s ministry and mission.  Thank you for everything you do for the Church and for the Gospel.” (Bishop)

“Everyone I have spoken to found the service enervating, profound and fun, though possibly not all at the same time!” (Vicar)

“Your unique preaching kept the children spellbound and laughing, even my 14 year old who is a ‘born again cynic’, you had his full attention.  Thank you for profound insights, laughter, for strength not to care if others think we are a fool.” (Parent)

“After your show I just felt I’d met with Jesus.  His gentleness, vulnerablility, wisdom and joy were all seen in you.  It was a delight to be there.” (Young Mother)

“It wasn’t a ‘service’ or a ‘performance’, it was worship. It was moving, very funny, absolutely what I’d hoped for. (Senior girls’ school chaplain)”
