Summary
RHLSTP #615 - A 94 Year-Old-Woman Crawling Out of a Pile of Clothes - Richard is at the Podcast Room again and this time joined by multi-award winning character comedian and writer, Lorna Rose Treen. They chat about subverting expectations on SNL UK, how the exquisite Time of the Week came out of Lorna working on Women’s Hour, winning the Edinburgh’s Joke of the Fringe with a joke that wasn’t even the best joke in the same minute of her show, being responsible for the death of comedy (according to the Sun), why it’s good for comedy to be silly and it’s important that female performers are allowed to be flawed and ridiculous and why a man with a bad sink joke ruined Rich’s career.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, Richard Herring here. Thanks for downloading my podcast. Now, you may have heard on the grown-up news that I've not been very well. I'm feeling fine. I'm sort of in the middle of treatment for very minor cancer. It's not curable, but it's completely treatable. So please don't worry about me. In the meantime, if you want to become a badger, this is an excellent time to support us at gofastestripe.com slash badges. If you would like to buy a thank you Moriati t-shirt from Rich and Alley's Craven Newsround, then head to go fasterstripe.com. And you should be able to find them on there. They're only going to be available for a couple of |
| 0:37.6 | weeks and we'll print them all up at once when we find out what the demand is. But if you enjoy |
| 0:42.5 | that podcast, particularly, that's a great way to pay us back for that. Look, I'm still coming to the |
| 0:48.0 | Edinburgh Fringe unless something goes horrifically wrong. In August, from I think the |
| 0:53.8 | sixth to the 16th, go to richardine.com slash for |
| 0:59.1 | Hellasper. You can see all the dates and the guests confirmed so far who are Mike Wozniak, |
| 1:05.8 | Susie McCabe and Flo and Joan. There are some big names to come, I'm sure. I'm aiming very high with this. |
| 1:13.0 | And I will be giving some recommends of people you should be going to see at the fringe through |
| 1:17.2 | interviews over the next few weeks as well. Anyway, thank you very much. Let's sit back. |
| 1:23.2 | Thanks to all the lovely messages I've had from you guys and it's lovely to know how much these |
| 1:26.6 | podcasts mean to you. |
| 1:28.5 | And that's worth more than money. I mean, obviously, it doesn't keep us going. But thank you very much for the love you've been giving us and very much appreciate. And I'll do my best to carry on doing these until I get bored. |
| 1:39.6 | Anyway, sit back, relax and enjoy another podcast from the head and mouth of R.K. Herring. |
| 1:49.2 | Hello, welcome to another studio, Rahalister Per. This week, my guest is probably best known for playing Gorveld in Goblin Solutions. |
| 1:58.8 | Yeah. It's Lorner O's Dream. How was, how was it, Gourveld, was that a good parts? Yeah, it was a goblin. Yeah. Yeah, that was one of my first. It was a voice thing as well. Oh, was it? Yeah, yeah. And I did, I remember going into the booth and they were like, okay, just go, go for something, whatever you want and we'll do a couple of options to kind of find the goblin. And I did my normal voice. And they were like, that's great. That's so good. That's so weird. You freak. So I stuck with that. That was fun. Yeah. And the other goblin was played by Nick Mohamed so it was oh that's pretty good yeah that was pretty magic yeah yeah well good I mean you know sometimes I just pick things because I like the name of the character and that was the reason for that one I'm afraid I didn't catch goblin solutions. Did you know? It was only a taste. |
| 2:51.7 | It was one of those blaps. |
| 2:52.7 | You know those blaps? |
| 3:06.4 | I could have probably found it and looked it up. You could, yeah. You've tried. It's a lot of effort. It's the way I look at it. You're a busy man. I'm very busy. I've got stuff to do. Can't be watching comedians all the time. Having said that I have been watching a lot of your stuff. |
| 3:08.0 | I didn't miss that one. |
| 3:09.2 | I'm listening to a lot of your stuff. |
| 3:25.5 | And I think where I want to start, well, look, I'm really excited about you're the first SNL UK person I've had on the podcast. I was meant to have, um, one of the, one of the actors on, but then they realized that they had to rehearse. |
