Ed Fringe 2019 #4 Sophie Duker and Vikki Stone - Tree Huggers - Rich is being ultra topical and that of course means him attempting to value his penis, plus he gives a review of an incredible piece of immersive theatre that he saw at the Meadows. And Colin has returned. Richard’s guests today are Sophie Duker and Vikki Stone. He talks to Sophie about privilege, who got the best A levels, magic forests, who Rich would hate most if he was God, using social media for sex, Whacky Racists and orgies involving human centipedes. With Vikki the chat involves appearing in a gay porn film, a missed opportunity with Elton John, Abba Tribute bands, Philip Schofield and falsified wikipedia facts.Sophie’s show can be found here - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sophie-duker-venusVikki’s show is here https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on#q=%22Vikki%20Stone%3A%20Song%20Bird%22Details of all the upcoming RHLSTPs is here http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tour Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP Edinburgh 2019 #3 Jena Friedman and Phil Wang - Raisin Drip - Rich was looking forward to being able to use his topical satirical eye to look at the news, until he looked at the news, but he decided to plough on anyway. His guests are Jena Friedman and Phil Wang. With Jena he discusses the reasons behind American gun crime, whether political comedy does any good, interviewing John McAfee and what kind of people have seen ghosts and what kind haven’t. Phil Wang is grilled about his sartorial choices on Taskmaster, the advantages and disadvantages of being in the Footlights, the unbridled joy of receiving unexpected francs, what Rich would be like as a stepdad. Book tickets to see Jena Friedman here https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/jena-friedman-miscarriage-of-justiceBook tickets to Phil Wang’s extra show here https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/phil-wang-philly-philly-wang-wang-2See the full RHLSTP line up and ticket links here - http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourBuy Emergency Questions books here - https://www.gofasterstripe.com/cgi-bin/website.cgi?page=videofull&id=35932To donate £5 to Scope Text 'HERRING' to 70085 Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP Edinburgh 2109 #2 Lucy Beaumont and Scummy Mummies - Screw You William Wilberforce. What Did You Ever Achieve?Richard can’t believe that he forgot to tell you about the supernatural thing that happened backstage at the Masonic Lodge yesterday, though surely scarier things have happened here.No matter because he’s got a brilliant line-up of guests: Lucy Beaumont and the Scummy Mummies. He talks to Lucy about Hull and Pocklington, sexual super powers, the candour of Maureen Lipman, encounters with ghost animals and alien balloons, the living Hell of marriage and children and ingesting your twin in utero.The Scummy Mummies discuss their fabulous podcast, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s frustrating inability to have a female child, the infamous rivalry between Jossy’s Giants and Rentaghost, why it’s better to come to the Fringe without your kids and the impressive number of shows they’ve already seen.Come and see RHLSTP at the Fringe and on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourSee Lucy Beaumont’s Space Mam - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/lucy-beaumont-space-mamSee the Scummy Mummies - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/scummy-mummiesListen to their fabulous podcast here - http://www.scummymummies.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Ed #1 - Laura Lexx and Tony Law - Can Men Be Funny? The King of Edinburgh is back for his 25th Fringe, though he is feeling under the weather thanks to his bloody stupid decision to breed and his possibly hubristic decision to play a 400 seater venue. But never mind he’s got two of the Festival’s most interesting acts to kick off this cavalcade of 21 podcasts in 24 days, Laura Lexx and Tony Law. Two guests on the same day? What? With Laura there’s discussion about ice lollies, whether global warming is a more pressing issue than Brexit, the repercussions of the Edinburgh accommodation crisis, defective chocolate bars and Johnny machines. And Tony chats about the contrasting previous appearances on the podcast, whether terrifyingly drunk or mind-bendingly sober and will it be third time, unwired? Well it’s Tony, so obviously not. Plus the differences between comedians in for the long haul and those hoping for fame, the craziness of Canadian comics, trying to put your children off performing and the acts creating unique shows full of risk. And how does he feel about turning 50? It’s good to be back.See RHLSTP at the Fringe and guests here http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourSee Laura Lexx’s Knee-jerk - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/laura-lexx-knee-jerkSee Tony Law Identifies - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/tony-law-identifiesSee Tony Law and Phil Nichol - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/tony-law-and-phil-nichol-virtue-chamber-echo-bravoT-shirt by @manwhohasitall Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP comes to the Great Yorkshire Fringe and York City fan Richard couldn’t be happier about his team’s amazing season or the fact that the hot weather has given him the perfect new emergency question. His guest is the tiniest person anyone has ever seen, it’s Rebecca Callard. They chat about what Ian Gregg really puts in the vegan sausage rolls, playing a drug dealer on Coronation Street, the scarecrowyness of Mackenzie Crook, the largely forgotten sitcom Bonjour La Classe and how Rebecca managed to miss out on most of Children’s Ward. The York audience have fun trying to name different kinds of cupboard and being insulted. Plus insider knowledge on the Borrowers emergency question and leaving Twitter and why it’s a good idea/impossible.See RHLSTP live at the Edinburgh Fringe and then on tour round the UK.

Emergency Questions Special - Richard Herring - Venice in Peril - The RHLSTP tables are turned as the interviewer becomes the interviewee and Richard Herring, best know for playing a policeman on Ant and Dec unleashed - is quizzed by comedian Sarah Benetto at the Deer Shed Festival about his marvellous Emergency Questions book. And the jeopardy is that he’s in front of a family audience. Will he swear? Place your bets about how long he will last. Where did he come up with this crazy idea? Would he rather have a ham hand or a suncream armpit? Has he ever flown a kite? What is his pizza based dating secret and which playwright do you think it worked on? How do you deal with heckles from the weather and babies? Where does he see himself in 500 years time. Plus there’s emergency questions from some of the kids in the audience and Rich responds by making them question the reality of existence. And get ready for your podcast feed to get crammed full of lovely podcasts as we’re about to do 21 shows in 24 days at the Edinburgh Fringe!Buy the newest 1001 Emergency Questions book hereOr get a special offer price for all three books hereCome and see Rich on tour and at the Edinburgh Fringe in AugustThanks to Dave Mitchell for recording the show Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP Special - Fiona Allen - Henley Festival. Rich is at the Henley Festival and is up against the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, who prove to be much more popular and louder than him, but his audience is small and enthusiastic, even if he risks losing some of them by being rude about this weird and posh town. His guest is We Know Where You Live’s Fiona Allen. She talks about working for Tony Wilson at the Hacienda, the unusual job of her grandfather, whether Michael Parkinson Senior is the most evil man on the planet, secretly delightful, disgusting household chores, whether it’s best to be up front on a date, why she knew Smack the Pony was going to be a hit (and whether it will return), British films and why so many disappear into the ether, returning to stand up as a more mature (but not necessarily more mature) performer and paying her children to empty the dishwasher. Turns out we don’t need an audience to make RHLSTP work, but we’d still like one.

#221 No Such Thing As a Fish - Are There Any Female Cuttlefish Here? It’s the end of the run at the Leicester Square Theatre and time to find out if Richard can fit into his suit from 5 years ago, as he promised. His guests are the Uber-nerds Anna, Dan, Andrew and James from the insanely popular No Such Thing As A Fish podcast. Find out what obscure facts they have about each other, whether sneaky brains or beauty is more important, their similarity to the X Men, whether holding in wee can kill you, why you don’t see cavemen ghosts and how podcasting has conquered the world (for some of us). Plus sexual superpowers, dreaming octopuses and horses in whale farts. It’s a rip roaring finale for this 18 very separate weeks at the theatre, but podcasts are now coming to you, so please support all of us on tour if you can.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Book for RHLSTP at the Edinburgh Fringe HEREBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITESee details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATESBuy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

RHLSTP Special - Rob Rouse - Quink-Faced Schoolboy. RHLSTP is back at the Long Division Festival in Wakefield for the second week running and this time Richard is looking at the impressive crime figures in this beautiful town, with lots of retail opportunities. His guest is the roadkill consuming comedian Rob Rouse. They chat about exploding sheep, the downside of eaten limpets, the incident that made Rob decide Geography teaching was not for him, the life-changing decision for both men to give up on A Level Physics, how to decrease the value of Star Wars figures, what to do if your wife gets her hand trapped in a ladder and being the 21st Century Baldrick. There’s some nice philosophy about coping with success and failure and an extraordinary denouement which involves fire and methane and a brand new suit.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Book for RHLSTP at the Edinburgh Fringe HEREBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITESee details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATESBuy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.
