159. Richard Osman (Retro) - "The Oldest Person In Scotland"
01:00:53||Ep. 159RHLSTP 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 guestsSee RHLSTP on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourBuy Emergency Questions Books and more http://gofasterstripe.comSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE

53:40||Season 33, Ep. 31RHLSTP #623 - Crystal In Her Pocket - Rich is back at the Podcast Room talking to writer and comedian Bella Hull. They talk about her early start at stand-up, talking about the worst things in your life, getting the writing job on SNL UK and whether this job needs to be as tricky and rock n roll as the Americans make out, whether the woman behind the counter at Pret should be asking you about religion and a ghost called Paula.See Bella at the Fringe https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/bella-hull-mad-cow-diseaseSee RHLSTP at the Fringe/London http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Recorded at the Podcast RoomThanks to Chris Evans (NTO) and Ben Walker
158. Adam Buxton (Retro) - "Cock Bongo"
52:23||Ep. 158Ed Fringe 2011 #25 - Cock Bongo - It's the end, my friends and someone is set to win half a bottle of olive oil, some Weetabix and the monarchy of Edinburgh. And we've saved the best till last as Count Buckules is here to tell us about the times he has said inappropriate things on 6Music, how his computer cable must be placed "just so", a trip to New Zealand with a ventriloquist, what a cock bongo would involve and what it would take for him to fellate Keith Allen. Rich is remarkably indiscreet as always, spreading possibly libellous rumours about certain celebrities and revealing the genesis of a famous Stewart Lee sketch and a classic bit of Alan Partridge. Thanks to everyone at The Stand and at the British Comedy Guide for their sterling work. Might we do it again next year? ... Surely not.See RHLSTP on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE
30. Charly Clive and Ellen Robertson - "Cheesy Sisyphus"
57:02||Season 33, Ep. 30RHLSTP #622 - Cheesy Sisyphus - Rich is at the Podcast Room talking to some proper big TV/film stars, Charly Clive and Ellen Robertson. They talk about why the Hell they are returning to the Fringe to do a sketch show, their enduring friendship and how that informs their work together, Charly’s brain tumour and why she called it Britney and why that led to them both being called Britney, clouds in film studios, judging pizza with Steve Carrell, living another life in a coma and why Richard would only be a very specialist interest on wikifeet.See their Fringe sketch show - https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/britney-holy-mackerelSee their Fringe play https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/jittersSee RHLSTP at the Fringe/London http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Recorded at the Podcast RoomThanks to Chris Evans (NTO) and Ben Walker
157. Barry Cryer (Retro) - "The Oxfam of Comedy"
51:51||Ep. 157Ed Fringe 2011 #14 - The Oxfam of Comedy - What's that unusual atmosphere in the air today? Could it be genuine reverence. Rich is joined by one of his absolute comedy heroes, Barry Cryer and is trying to be on his best behaviour. Barry's butterfly brain means he has a story about everyone and everything that gets mentioned from Nicholas Parsons to Stewart Lee and Jack Benny to Richard Pryor. He also comes up with the best answer yet to the Keith Allen Question (as it is known in parliament). So just sit back and listen to a comedy legend (which is pretty much that all Rich does in this episode) and find out who's really the king of Edinburgh. Rich has also just been offered an advert where he'd have to live in a perspex box for three days (he may not take it). What a lovely way to spend the afternoon.See RHLSTP on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE
