Synopsis
Richard Herring brings his Edinburgh Fringe Podcast south for a more leisurely weekly show in which he chats with some of the biggest names in comedy. It's ad-libbed and unedited and largely unplanned - the conversations can go off on all kinds of comedic tangents, or be serious. Recorded in front of a paying audience.
Episode 21 : RHLSTP 392 - Daliso Chaponda - Pegged
August. 05,2022
RHLSTP has travelled to Yorkshire to be part of the Deershed festival and is taking place at the unGodly hour of 11.10pm, but at least it's Gareth's birthday. Richard's guest is Malawian comic and bronze medal winner of Britain's Got Talent, Daliso Chaponda. They discuss the weirdness of performing at festivals, what it's like to play a Royal Variety show with no audience, believing in everything, which is the best angel, dinosaur fellatio and the inexplicably different experiences Daliso and Richard have had with the police. Plus they address the rumours about a certain eminent personage (not that one) and a sexual technique that Richard had to google before the show, but which the mum on the front row definitely didn't want discussed in front of her kids. Some classic EQs and audience requests.
Episode 20 : RHLSTP 391 - Meryl O Rourke - Where Did We Get Our Porn?
August. 03,2022
Richard has surprisingly found himself being bigged up by a Ukrainian MP for his humanitarian efforts, which is very exciting. His guest is circuit veteran, ex-celeb stalker and writer Meryl O'Rourke. They talk about the comedy scene of the 90s, writing for Frankie Boyle, waiting for your break, scaring Stephen Fry, why it'd be nice to have a Tinder for friends, finding humour in the family traumas of the Holocaust and confronting your abuser, how much the world of sex has moved on since the 20th Century and whether her best comedy years are still to come.
Episode 19 : RHLSTP 390 - Kunt (Kunt and the Gang) - Paperboy
July. 27,2022
Richard can finally reveal the greatest achievement of his (or anyone else's) life and had decided to think about making a change to his attitude to the job. His guest is the mysterious, crude, offensive and hilarious Kunt from off of Kunt and the Gang. They chat about how this incredible act gained traction, why he retired in 2016 and what brought him back, the inspiration for his comeback and how subversive and satirical his childish work has become, whether he could or should be cancelled, whether joking about something is as bad as doing it, whether comedy is a valid response to tragedy and horror, why he's a vegetarian and is he more sensitive and right on that he might at first appear. It's am hilarious and fascinating conversation, but goes into areas that some may find inappropriate or offensive, but there's a clue in the name. So skip this one if you think you might be one of those people.
Episode 18 : RHLSTP 389 - Seann Walsh - Kiss
July. 20,2022
Richard is mourning the loss of his best friend, but he has to carry on working through his grief. His guest is Strictly love rat, Seann Walsh. They discuss his incredible new stand up special and whether people overreacted to his admittedly selfish behaviour and why people are so keen to judge and don't seem to care if they will be judged themselves. It's a powerful conversation about the consequences of his self-defeating actions and a story that sounds like a Biblical morality tale, but which shows how it is possible to come back from the pits of despair. Seann talks about why he gave up drinking and the positives of his experience, why Michael McIntyre is the greatest of comedians and creating a short film on a train journey home from a bad gig and Rich explains his biggest social media storms have come from the times he's tries to be nice. Let he who is without sin. I'm not saying I'm Jesus, that is for others to say.

They discuss how the pair met and the genesis of their Da Bungalow show, how they are haunted by Bogies, the steam roller delights of working with Brian Blessed, why Dom got expelled from the Magic Circle, what happens to Dick when he falls asleep, rivalry with Ant and Dec and whether you ever get too old to be childish.
