Richard Herring
Comedian Richard Herring has launched a new Kickstarter campaign.
It is hard to find a month in the year when there isn’t a comedy festival going on somewhere. With Edinburgh fast approaching, however, the Great Yorkshire Fringe has slipped in and found space for a major arts festival in the bustling city of York, which takes in comedy as well as theatre, music, cabaret and family activities.
As a lonely schoolboy Richard Herring spent many hours playing himself at snooker on a 6ft by 3ft table and providing his own commentary. As an adult he decided to recreate this battle for a podcast whose avowed aim was to continue until it no longer had any listeners. It started with 30,000 subscribers but over the years and approaching 100 frames that has dwindled to less than 5000 die hard fans, who are as determined to make Herring continue as he is to punish them with sports based tedium.
Most of the guests have been confirmed for the forthcoming season of Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcasts.
The announced guests are as follows. The season actually starts on June 6 but the name for that date has not been announced (update - it's been announced now - it's comedian/DJ Iain Lee and Tony Law).
13th June Lauren Laverne and Doc Brown
20th June - David Cross
27th June - Vic Reeves (nearly sold out)
4th July - Nish Kumar
Richard Herring has been invited to appear at a festival celebrating “performance art and noise art”.
The comedian will be performing his Me1 Vs Me2 snooker match against himself that has become something of a cult podcast. Herring joked* on his blog that: “I am one step closer to the Turner Prize.”
A British independent short film starring comedians Richard Herring and Rachel Stubbings has won an award at a Paris Film Festival.
While You Were Away, directed by Ben Mallaby and written by Gabriel Miller, picked up the Audience Award at ECU 2016.
Following the successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the filming of his new sketch series, Richard Herring has announced dates and line-up for the return of As It Occurs To Me.
The new As It Occurs To Me will reunite the cast who appeared in the original podcast recordings between 2009 and 2011 – Dan Tetsell, Emma Kennedy and Christian Reilly.
Richard Herring has managed to raise £100,000 via Kickstarter to film a new series of his sketch show As It Occurs To Me.
Richard Herring is currently raising money through Kickstarter to fund the filming of a new series of As It Occurs To Me. This was the stand-up/sketch show podcast which he previously performed between 2009 and 2011. All the material for each show was written in the week of broadcast, based on things that occurred to Richard, either events from his life or things he'd been thinking about. The cast back then included Dan Tetsell, Emma Kennedy and Christian Reilly.
Richard Herring has been developing his new show, Happy Now? for a while. An embryonic version of it was performed last summer when he did all of his past shows in one epic run at the Leicester Square Theatre. So it’s interesting that the show isn't about quite what I initially thought it was going to be about.
