Summary

#416 John the Mouse - Rich has some helpful suggestions to help the footballers support LGBTQ+ rights and is amazed by the press reaction to last week’s podcast. His guest is superlative stand up comedian and podcaster James Acaster. They discuss Nasty Nick’s funeral, the Richard E Grant mystery, why James never retired from stand up and why he’s now inviting hecklers, the weird experience of being a last minute replacement mouse in Cinderella, confusing and angering people with his fantastically funny new book “James Acaster’s Guide to Quitting Social Media”, his new audio sitcom and how his brilliant routine about edgy comics has done no good at all. Plus will James agree with Richard’s conjecture that all music is terrible?

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.

Sometimes we've upset each other, I think, on this podcast.

1:33.7

I'm not sure what happened in this one, whether there was any moments of awkwardness,

1:37.6

but he is one of the Britain's funniest comedians and a terrific guy.

1:42.9

So I love him very much, and it's lovely of him to come from his very successful podcast and help out this mildly, at least long-running podcast. I've got that over him.
