RHLSTP Ed Fringe 2019 #15 Fern Brady and Josie Long - Teeth and Ecstasy - Rich has seen some disturbing poster vandalism that has made him question who the real Jesus is, and his daughter has her first real catchphrase. He has two fabulous guests Fern Brady and Josie Long. With Fern he discusses how she got her fabulous poster shot, crying on the toilet, her return to Bathgate and Edinburgh clamminess. With Josie the talk turns to babies, corresponding with a Black Panther, touring without booking a venue and the incredible behind the scenes stories of her 1999 BBC New Comedian Award win.Fern’s extra show details here - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/fern-brady-power-and-chaos-2Josie’s show details here - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/josie-long-tenderRHLSTP Fringe and tour details http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tour Hosted on Acast.

His guests today are Sunil Patel and Daliso Chaponda. With Sunil he chats about comedy psychopaths, whether there are any good white people, missing out on sunilpatel.com, sharing accommodation with comedians and there’s some fascinating stuff for anyone who is interested in beards. With Daliso the talk revolves around insulting flags and when comedy has real consequences, how art can change its meaning over time, why so many people are being blacklisted these days, being a hero in Malawi and meeting Pamela Anderson.See Sunil’s show White Knight - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sunil-patel-white-knightSee Daliso’s show Blah Blah Blacklist - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/daliso-chaponda-blah-blah-blacklistSee RHLSTP in Edinburgh or on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tour Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP Ed Fringe 2019 #12 Rob Auton and Lost Voice Guy - Baked Beans - Richard may be old or tired or both, but he has just experienced a potentially disastrous misunderstanding of Edinburgh geography that would be embarrassing for a newbie. Never mind, his guests are Rob Auton and Lee Ridley aka Lost Voice Guy. With Rob the discussion takes in working in advertising, Cold Feet, a shopping trolley full of items of the same colour and the worthlessness of existence given the infinity of time. Lee and Herring chat about what it’s like to win Britain’s Got Talent, what Simon Cowell is really like, the leap of faith that persuaded a self-conscious man who was unable to speak to attempt stand-up, the most ridiculous things strangers have asked him about his disability and whether anyone would ever heckle a man with no voice. If this podcast makes you want to give some money to Scope then please  Text 'HERRING' to 70085 to donate £5.

RHLSTP Ed Fringe 2019 #11 Richard Osman - The Oldest Person In Scotland - Richard has hopefully the definitive list of what people should avoid putting inside their chuffs and maybe we can leave that behind now - HIs guest will finally reveal what nationality he is - it’s TV’s Richard Osman. There is some discussion of who from Lee and Herring has had the more successful career (no spoilers) and whether there is any danger of a Slattery style breakdown from doing too many episodes of Pointless, whether House of Games will ever offer psychological training, how to get into the dying medium of TV and what is an appropriate height differential for lovers.. Plus why is the Express obsessed with Osman? Is he gay? And a also a brand new quiz show for Herring to lose, played live in front of and then involving the audience? It’s the only Edinburgh RHLSTP with one guest, but he’s the size of two guestsCome and see one of the remaining 10 shows or any of the tour shows http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourBuy Emergency Questions Books and more http://gofasterstripe.com Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP Ed 2019 9 Tony Slattery and Isma Almas - Carry On Cocaining - Richard is worried that his comments about a royal might lead to his ultimate demise… buy he’s more worried about extreme vaginal temperatures. He’s got two great gigs to distract his lazy ass, Isma Almas and Tony Slattery. With Isma he discusses how it’s possible to tick too many boxes, performing in a burkha, why comedy is the perfect job if you hate working and they hatch a foolproof plan to get back at their critics.. Tony chats about his career and the factors that led to its implosion, how much coke he might have been taking a week, Kenneth Branagh’s campness, the harshness of an industry that loves you when you’re winning and the lessons he has learned.

RHLSTP ed Fringe #8 Steph Tisdell and Jen Brister- Migaloo - Rich reveals the real reason he’s having so many female guests on the series before introducing two more of the blighters, Steph Tisdell and Jen Brister - Steph talks about how comedy is a great way to deal with and educate about the horrors of genocide, the awkwardness of white guilt and whether a day of being sorry is enough, plus how she Mrs Maiselled her way into comedy. Jen Brister talks about her brilliant book “The Other Mother” and how two women having a baby is pretty much the same as anyone having a baby, though getting the sperm arguably involved more palaver. Also eating ice cream without your kids seeing and bringing up boys and allowing them to express their emotions. Plus an excellent answer to what item she’d take from a museum.See Steph Tisdell in Aboriginal All Stars https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/aboriginal-comedy-allstarsSee Jen Brister in Under Privilege - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/jen-brister-under-privilegeOrder Jen’s book here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Other-Mother-wickedly-honest-parenting/dp/1910931969/See RHLSTP at the Fringe and on tour - http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tour Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP Ed 2019 #7 Spencer Jones and Janey Godley and Ashley Storrie - Scottish Russian Dolls. Richard has just witnessed the most arrogant and obnoxious person of Edinburgh 2019 and they aren’t even a comedian or himself reflected in a window, but it’s nice to know that he always sees something worth talking about on his walk to the theatre. His guests are all utter comedy geniuses: Spencer Jones and Janey Godley and the comedian she magically produced from herself, Ashley Storrie. Spencer talks about where he gets his crazy ideas and how to make comedy from mundane objects in life, his tricky first gigs as Herbert Clunkerdunk and what his fifth season would involve. Janey and Ashley talk about how they have conquered the internet and ingratiated themselves with celebs (even if they don’t always recognise them), the dangerous stupidity of taking on either of them on social media, their refusal to compromise for TV folk and whether Catcher in the Rye is a price worth paying for not having John Lennon any more. And if Richard loves Ashley as much as he claims how come he isn’t following her on Twitter?Tickets for Spencer Jones here https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/spencer-jones-the-things-we-leave-behindSee his brilliant TV show here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p065wbm9/the-mind-of-herbert-clunkerdunk-pilotInfo for Janey Godley’s Fringe show here - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/godley-on-the-fringeInfo for Ashley Storrie here https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on#q=%22Ashley%20Storrie%3A%20Hysterical%20%22All Fringe and tour links for RHLSTP here https://www.rhlstp.co.uk/website.cgi?page=gigsBuy Emergency Questions books and RHLSTP stickers and monthly badges at http://gofasterstripe.com Hosted on Acast.
