omgwtf bible logoFor thousands of years, we've been under the impression the Bible was meant to be taken seriously. Finally, OMGWTFBIBLE is here to change all that with a brand-new English translation of the Hebrew Bible from the story of creation all the way to end.

A monthly podcast in New York City, OMGWTFBIBLE reframes everyone’s favorite holy book as the world’s oldest comedy serial.

Join David Tuchman as he reads from his new, not very respectful, translation with special guest Michael Twitty at Science Club in Dupont Circle. Happy Hour specials will be available.

Tickets are $10, $15 at the door.

A Note: We'll be starting the book of Leviticus at this recording, you know the book nobody remembers (except for those verses about dudes doing things)! All your Leviticus questions will be answered! Which internal organs make God's favorite smells? How long can the Bible really spend describing how to butcher animals? Who will get grossed out first, David or Michael? We'll find out! 

Get caught up on everything that happened already in Genesis (or, In The Beginning, as David calls it) and Exodus (Nameshere. To get through it quickly, we suggest checking out the "Just the Bible Bits."
