Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast Seasons and Episodes

09/14/2022Season 25 - 24 episodes
#1 | 09/14/2022RHLSTP 406 - Reece Shearsmith - Rolf Harris' Creepy Toes
Richard is back for a 25th series, but unfortunately pretty much nothing has happened in the news so there's nothing for him to talk about. His guest last appeared on the show almost exactly a decade ago, it's the comedy genius Reece Shearsmith. They chat about his excellent new film See How They Run https://www.searchlightpictures.com/see-how-they-run/ and working with the starry cast, why he's not really open to public suggestions for Inside Number Nine locations, the League of Gentleman's journey from the Canal Cafe to the stage at the O2, owning a piece of the Wicker Man and meeting the man from inside the Wicker Man and how Bernie Clifton responded to Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room
#2 | 09/21/2022RHLSTP 407 - Eleanor Morton - Teleporno
Rich has some big questions to ask about a hymn that seemingly most people in his audience don't remember, so maybe he won't do an hour long comedy show about it then. His guest is internet sensation and fab stand up Eleanor Morton. They talk about Leonardo da Vinci's hate mail, the surprise appearance of Pan in Wind in the Willows, the difficulties of getting a pirate sitcom off the ground (or on to the waves), the stinking bins of the Edinburgh Fringe, why crippling social anxiety doesn't stop comedians getting on stage and why the pandemic was the best thing that could happen (for some people, not everyone apparently) and how there are no mentally ill comedians in Richard's generation.
#3 | 09/28/2022RHLSTP 408 - Pierre Novellie - Rat Surge
Rich is worried that his son is going to become a comedian or worse still a Messiah, but Rich is planning to buy a sex island so all is OK. His guest is superior (in both senses) comedian and possible giant Pierre Novellie. They talk about Charles Manson's bold decision during his trial, being massaged by Dave Benson Phillips, the disturbing consequences of a South African accent, whether Richard is really mentally normal as the internet claims or if he's just lapped everyone else, the untrustworthiness of the neatly bearded, the effectiveness of precise language and why semen doesn't taste like strawberry milk shake. Plus why you don't take the Bee Gees into battle.
#4 | 10/05/2022RHLSTP 409 - Sally Phillips - Di and Dodi Threesome
Recorded in the week of a tragic loss, at least there is good news for one of the podcast's favourite personalities. Richard's guest is the brilliant actor and writer and also his ex-girlfriend, Sally Phillips. They talk about the girl who smelled of spam and Sally's impressive performance in the film How To Please A Woman, but they can't avoid the elephant in the room and discuss there somewhat different memories of the break up of their relationship and how this impacted on their Edinburgh shows. Can they reach a place of forgiveness for their behaviour? Also Sally's side of the Princess Diana love triangle, how being in a comedy gang in the 1990s gave us all too much confidence, how she got the job in Alan Partridge, what led to her working with Mr Tumble and speculation on why Hugh Grant doesn't talk to her. Also the impact of disablist language, grabbing the reins of power, Dexter Fletcher and a tension that makes this one of the greatest and funniest RHLSTPs ever.
#5 | 10/12/2022RHLSTP 410 - Bob Mortimer - Saggy-Faced Satsuma
Richard has narrowly avoided a dinosaur based disaster, but never mind because a RHLSTP favourite is returning - the incomparable Bob Mortimer. They talk about holding dominion over the animals, whether questions are necessary in an interview, what prompted Bob to write his first novel and whether satsumas are the best small orange fruit, the adoration for Bob and Paul that the team behind Gone Fishing clearly have, why a double act of two nice men works, what it's like being below average height, aspiring to watch TV, the treatment centre for phone addiction and how to take down coniferous trees. Also how many Bob Mortimers might there be out there and why his book imagines an alternate world for him? Bob has also brought along his joke book for emergencies.
#6 | 10/19/2022RHLSTP 411 - Socially Distant Sports Bar - Diplodocus
Rich is itching for a change in Prime Minister, but will he get his wish by the time of broadcast? His guests are Elis, Mike and Steff from the dizzyingly successful new podcast that the cool kids are calling TSDSB. They talk about how their podcast is about more than just sport, how sports fans have changed in the last four decades, the new series of Fantasy Football and the new sitcom Mammoth, why Elis' musical career didn't work out, how Mike met his wife when he was a teacher at school and what it was like for Steff when his first live gig was to over 1000 people Plus are warm ups necessary in sport, the most inappropriate dance by 12 year old girls of all time and some neutral opinions about the new Prince and Princess of Wales.
#7 | 10/26/2022RHLSTP 412 - Sara Pascoe - Lemony Anus
Richard knows a little bit about what Prince George is going through at school and is very excited that his new book is out! His guest is stand up, writer, presenter and actor Sara Pascoe. They talk about the ups and downs of doing improvised sitcoms and films, how long lockdown toilet rolls kept people going, balancing work with parenting, how it's more important that something gets made than it becomes a hit, the magic of being a snowman, whether general anaesthetic proves that the soul does not exist, accepting the ageing process and the terrible things that a parent will do to protect their child.
#8 | 11/02/2022RHLSTP 413 - Chris McCausland - Brian Conley's C*ck
Richard is discombobulated after returning (briefly) to Shepherd's Bush after five years away. His guest is the fantastic stand up Chris McCausland. They talk about what pushed him towards stand up and why he was reluctant initially to do too much about his blindness, nearly becoming a spy, that amazing BAFTA bit with Lee Mack, performing for Prince William, being on the Jubilee bus and and why Chris hates the name of his own tour. Plus how working hard on a panel show appearance can help your career. Who knew?
#9 | 11/09/2022RHLSTP 414 - Ria Lina - Thid
Richard returns to his old stomping ground of Balham to take part in the Cheerful Earful Festival at the Bedford pub, a place that holds a lot of memories, some of which occur to him as he's speaking. His guest is the fabulous Ria Lina. They talk about the power of being an outsider in comedy, gigging whilst pregnant, working for the serious fraud office, why the coronavirus helped propel Ria into the spotlight, some behind the scenes secrets from Have I Got News For You? and the extra demands put on female performers.
