RHLSTP with Richard Herring
RHLSTP 280 - Bill Burr
Season 19, Ep. 6
•
#280 Ping - Rich is peeved that Banksy has been ripping off his ideas, but his guest doesn’t realise he’s not supposed to talk over him, it’s only bloody birthday boy Bill Burr.
They discuss their startlingly similar careers (if you ignore Bill’s movie and success and money), what the West End is like, head mops, Warsaw Indiana, how fights in films are never realistic, Bill’s biggest acting role yet in the King of Staten Island https://www.thekingofstatenisland.com/, how a cartoon gives the most realistic interpretation of the 70s (check out the new series of F is for Family https://www.netflix.com/title/80028732), offence in stand up, feminism, masculinity in crisis, Croydon and tiny babies. It’s good stuff.
We’re doing these every Wednesday night at 8pm on http://twitch.tv/rkherring (along with loads of other stuff). If you’re with Amazon Prime you can give us money at no cost to yourself. This video explains how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVji_FONrxo

6. RHLSTP 560- John Kearns
01:26:16||Season 31, Ep. 6#560 One Ball and Boe - Richard is sad to note the death of a man who has fuelled and spoiled his erotic fantasies. His guest John Kearns, has finally been allowed into the Leicester Square Theatre on the fifth or sixth time on the pod - it’s the thoughtful and measured John Kearns. In a return to endless old-school RHLSTPs it’s a sprawling pod, covering very old tortoises, Raymond Briggs, Rich’s dad giving a talk at the BFI, the effects of the Taskmaster bounce (or plunge in Rich’s case), rumours about Top Coppers and much more. Too much more. Gloriously too much more.See RHLSTP at the Edinburgh Fringe https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/richard-herring-rhlstpSee Richard’s tour http://richardherring.com/ballback/tourSee RHLSTP live http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE

01:06:16||Ep. 99#372 Arthur Askey's Chair - Richard is wondering if comedians might be the solution to all the world’s problems (they won’t be), but delighted to be back at the Leicester Square Theatre for the start of Season 23 of this amazing podcast. His guest is legendary comedian and DJ Paul Chuckle. They chat about Paul’s incredible 59 year career, from working mens’ clubs and routines with Charlie Cairoli, through talent shows and learning the craft to the big break with Chuckle Vision. What injuries did the boys have to endure for comedy? What was it like to be so recognisable? How did the distinctive Chuckle look develop? And how did they come up with the iconic To Me, To You. Plus working with Tinchy Strider and moving into DJing. Paul talks movingly about losing his brother/partner and best friend and why he needed to carry on working. And finally the truth about his moped accident.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE
