Summary

#429 Chlorine Allergy - Rich has some cold hard truths for any murderers out there and is also glad to see that his eventless zombie story idea has been so quickly embraced, with a twist. Today is a momentous meeting of Champions of Champions because his guest is Josh Widdicombe. They talk about the worst thing you can take to the hospital when your wife is giving birth, being related to Henry VIII and a man who wiped a king’s bum, what Josh’s disability is, the true motivations of role players, bumping into Beaumont, Josh’s inability to swim, whether we might see the return of the sitcom Josh, tiny women who live in burrows and whether some comedians work so hard that they never get a chance to spend their millions.

0:00.0	Hello, my fine friends. Welcome to my podcasts. Thank you very much for downloading another podcast.
0:06.5	I've got a few Rahalasper's coming up. We've got Harry Shearer coming on the 1st of July at the
0:12.4	Lester Square Theatre from The Simpsons and Spinal Tap. Is that not enough for you? There'll be other guests as well.
0:17.8	There's another Rahalospon, the 8th of July at Les Square Theatre do come along and we've
0:22.6	recently announced some more for September, November, October and November. Actually I've put the
0:27.4	November one in twice in the gig guide so I'll change that. That's just a note to myself. Also,
0:31.6	I'm doing a few gigs starting to work up material. Some of them are sold out but I'm doing the 20th of
0:36.4	May. I'm doing a benefit for
0:38.3	bollocks to cancer at Bethnal Green, at Rich Mix. Do come to that if you can. That will probably
0:44.2	be mainly testicle-based material. And the other gigs have sold out. This one in Joy, which one
0:49.9	in St. Albans? That's no good to you. And remember I'm at the stand three for the first 12
0:56.4	nights of the Edinburgh Fringe this year. Links at richartaring.com slash Rahalesterper,

These are all from, this one's from early 2023 with Josh Whittickham, who's related to the king. He should be the king of this country. He would have abused that. It had been worse than Andrew, I think, if he'd got that power.
