Dave W., thanks a lot for the 'welcome'.
Listen to George Carlin's 'The Ten Commandments', 'Interview with Jesus' and 'There Is No God'. They may be blasphemous to most people, but they are very funny and painfully true. |

That's Dave Allen. His show was on PBS here in the USA for a while in the late '80s. As I recall, he did like to skewer hypocrisy, particularly of the religio-sexual kind.
He died just last month. Here's a bio:

Dave Allen was British. I think you mean Mark Russell, comedian and political satirist.
