Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (RHLSTP)

#445 The Drug Rats of Porthcawl - Richard is delighted to be back for series 27 of RHLSTP and to be within the short-lived window where he can do topical stand up material. It’s going to be the last time in a while, though there’s talk of a RHLSTP tour! Hie guest is dancer turned comedian turned actor and writer Thanyia Moore. They chat about the lost Tango ads, why she wrote a stand up show about being a bully, the mystery of how the unusual spelling of her name came about, what she did to upset some of the people of Wales (though some of them agreed with her), how appearing on Question Team led to her wing-walking and water-skiing, whether the skills on her Spotlight entry are genuine and could she could beat Richard over 100 metres? (Yes).

RHLSTP Book Club #192 - You Don’t Have To Have A Dream - Richard talks to the first ever RHLSTP guest, Tim Minchin, about his book “You Don’t Have To Have A Dream”. They chat about the possible futility of having to spread wisdom to the young, how success will never be what you imagine it to be and how it won’t fill the hole in your soul, why comparing yourself to others is poison, how fortunate we are to live now, how Tim’s Hollywood adventures helped him to recalibrate his career and whether it’s ever too late to do stuff.

RHLSTP #625 - Beating Leonardo at Poker - Rich is back at the Podcast Room, talking to the wonderful Lucy Porter. They discuss selling out to the man, writing links for Anthea Turner’s Homemaking show from a leaking shack, working with Mrs Merton and whether Caroline Aherne gets the credit she deserves, appearing on Celebrity Poker in the early noughties and what career opportunities that led to and have Rich and Lucy let themselves go? Plus appearing on Eastenders and why Lucy will keep on touring forever. Hooray!

#444 Sploshing - Richard has some stand up material topical to the week of 20th March 2023 and is cross about the Edinburgh Fringe again. His guest is Taskmaster and Mastermind Champion, Sophie Duker. They talk about the weird and wonderful chemistry between Alex Horne and Sophie, whether kids Taskmaster will crush the souls of the participants, Richard’s jealousy at pansexuality and a revelation about what else the young people are getting up to these days, French pickles, terrible tour accommodation, being on a cruise with 700 older lesbians, what the point of anything might be and why neither Sophie or Richard have been on QI.

RHLSTP #624 - Cake of Shame - Rich is chatting to the man who has been on RHLSTP more than anyone but Rich, John Robins. They talk about acting in a sexy film with no sexy bits for you, Taskmaster (maybe we did talk about this before, even though Rich says we didn’t), bad financial advice, their Wordle based schism, comedy geniuses Ian Cognito and Phil Kay, Rich chastising his parents for buying the wrong stereo and why no one should be allowed more than 10 million dollars and running the Marathon and who is best at it.
