Steph Tisdell & Jen Brister - RHLSTP Edinburgh 2019 08
RHLSTP ed Fringe #8 Steph Tisdell and Jen Brister- Migaloo - Rich reveals the real reason he’s having so many female guests on the series before introducing two more of the blighters, Steph Tisdell and Jen Brister - Steph talks about how comedy is a great way to deal with and educate about the horrors of genocide, the awkwardness of white guilt and whether a day of being sorry is enough, plus how she Mrs Maiselled her way into comedy. Jen Brister talks about her brilliant book “The Other Mother” and how two women having a baby is pretty much the same as anyone having a baby, though getting the sperm arguably involved more palaver. Also eating ice cream without your kids seeing and bringing up boys and allowing them to express their emotions. Plus an excellent answer to what item she’d take from a museum.See Steph Tisdell in Aboriginal All Stars https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/aboriginal-comedy-allstarsSee Jen Brister in Under Privilege - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/jen-brister-under-privilegeOrder Jen’s book here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Other-Mother-wickedly-honest-parenting/dp/1910931969/See RHLSTP at the Fringe and on tour - http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tour Hosted on Acast.

Spencer Jones & Janey Godley & Ashley Storrie - RHLSTP Edinburgh 2019 07
RHLSTP Ed 2019 #7 Spencer Jones and Janey Godley and Ashley Storrie - Scottish Russian Dolls. Richard has just witnessed the most arrogant and obnoxious person of Edinburgh 2019 and they aren’t even a comedian or himself reflected in a window, but it’s nice to know that he always sees something worth talking about on his walk to the theatre. His guests are all utter comedy geniuses: Spencer Jones and Janey Godley and the comedian she magically produced from herself, Ashley Storrie. Spencer talks about where he gets his crazy ideas and how to make comedy from mundane objects in life, his tricky first gigs as Herbert Clunkerdunk and what his fifth season would involve. Janey and Ashley talk about how they have conquered the internet and ingratiated themselves with celebs (even if they don’t always recognise them), the dangerous stupidity of taking on either of them on social media, their refusal to compromise for TV folk and whether Catcher in the Rye is a price worth paying for not having John Lennon any more. And if Richard loves Ashley as much as he claims how come he isn’t following her on Twitter?Tickets for Spencer Jones here https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/spencer-jones-the-things-we-leave-behindSee his brilliant TV show here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p065wbm9/the-mind-of-herbert-clunkerdunk-pilotInfo for Janey Godley’s Fringe show here - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/godley-on-the-fringeInfo for Ashley Storrie here https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on#q=%22Ashley%20Storrie%3A%20Hysterical%20%22All Fringe and tour links for RHLSTP here https://www.rhlstp.co.uk/website.cgi?page=gigsBuy Emergency Questions books and RHLSTP stickers and monthly badges at http://gofasterstripe.com Hosted on Acast.

Jena Friedman & Phil Wang - RHLSTP Edinburgh 2019 03
RHLSTP Edinburgh 2019 #3 Jena Friedman and Phil Wang - Raisin Drip - Rich was looking forward to being able to use his topical satirical eye to look at the news, until he looked at the news, but he decided to plough on anyway.

Laura Lexx & Tony Law - RHLSTP Edinburgh 2019 01
Ed #1 - Laura Lexx and Tony Law - Can Men Be Funny? The King of Edinburgh is back for his 25th Fringe, though he is feeling under the weather thanks to his bloody stupid decision to breed and his possibly hubristic decision to play a 400 seater venue. But never mind he’s got two of the Festival’s most interesting acts to kick off this cavalcade of 21 podcasts in 24 days, Laura Lexx and Tony Law. Two guests on the same day? What? With Laura there’s discussion about ice lollies, whether global warming is a more pressing issue than Brexit, the repercussions of the Edinburgh accommodation crisis, defective chocolate bars and Johnny machines. And Tony chats about the contrasting previous appearances on the podcast, whether terrifyingly drunk or mind-bendingly sober and will it be third time, unwired? Well it’s Tony, so obviously not. Plus the differences between comedians in for the long haul and those hoping for fame, the craziness of Canadian comics, trying to put your children off performing and the acts creating unique shows full of risk. And how does he feel about turning 50? It’s good to be back.See RHLSTP at the Fringe and guests here http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourSee Laura Lexx’s Knee-jerk - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/laura-lexx-knee-jerkSee Tony Law Identifies - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/tony-law-identifiesSee Tony Law and Phil Nichol - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/tony-law-and-phil-nichol-virtue-chamber-echo-bravoT-shirt by @manwhohasitall Hosted on Acast.
