Summary

#415 Mosquito in the Kitchen - Richard recalls a couple of childhood memories that can’t possibly hare happened. His guest is the king of mischief and righteous anger (who is also very funny) Joe Lycett. They talk about how Joe brought down a Prime Minister, how he was almost arrested for a joke, how his spoof Sue Gray report fooled some members of parliament, how people decided what snacks Santa would be getting, the personal heartbreak behind Joe’s anger about the government’s reaction to Covid, why he literally talked sh*t and the extreme steps Joe is taking to try and persuade David Beckham to withdraw from his role in Qatar. This is an exceptional show which is why we are putting it out as soon as possible.

0:17.0	He thinks he can do podcasts.
0:18.4	What does he know?
0:19.4	And also Matthew Bainton, who's shortly appearing in the champion, a champion's edition of Taskmaster and from ghosts and everything. It's an amazing bill. The tickets are selling really fast. I think there might be a couple of £18.50 tickets left if you're quick, but then it goes up to something like 21. So book quickly. Go to rich herring.com slash Rahalisterpa for the links for that.
0:40.0	And all the upcoming Rahalashtabas in Leicester, Chelmsford and London.
0:44.8	There's three or four more in the Leicester Square Theatre in the new year.

1:28.5	catalogue of Rahalasper, if you haven't listened to them. This has been released for the first time in full video. It's on the YouTube channel. If you're listening, you can go and watch the whole thing. It's better for us if you listen on the audio because we make some money. It's even better for us if you get rid of the adverts by becoming a monthly badger at Gofastestripe.com slash badges, and you get loads of benefits for doing that.
1:47.4	Come and see us live. The gigs cropping up all the time. You can go to rich taney.com slash Rahalastapa. I'm in Chelmsford and Leicester in 2026 and I'm sure there will be more gigs added in.
