Summary
#433 - Piggy in the Middle - Richard is at the Leicester Comedy Festival and has still not forgiven the city for the king theft or the cheese rivalry, but he gives out his phone number for anyone who wants to call him in 1973. His guest is making his fourth appearance on the podcast, though still not had a whiff of the Leicester Square Theatre, it’s the multi award winning John Kearns. There’s a Top Coppers update and some amazing new news of how he got the part, plus they discuss the changes wrought by Covid, creating new quiz formats, the magic of Taskmaster, an exciting new twist on emergency questions and wild speculation about the earnings of other comedians.
Thanks to the Leicester Comedy Festival for having us.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, monkey fiddlers. It's me, Richard Herring. Thank you for downloading my podcast. Please keep listening if you can. The big news is 20th April, Lester Square Theatre. One of the guests has been announced. It's Natasha Hodgson. One of the geniuses behind and in front of Operation Mincemeek the Musical. Sorry, my cat's running around the kitchen, making a ringing sound hook. That's not disturbing you. Once the Operation Mincemeat fans hear about this, it's going to sell fast. So get your tickets now. Go to richsharing.com slash Rahalesterpur. And you can see all the dates. There's a couple in July as well. I'm doing a great which Rick Mail Festival as well but that is sold out. |
