Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (RHLSTP)

RHLSTP #620 - Greggs Chicken Bake - Rich is doing a few remote podcasts again due to a medical condition, so tonight we’re going to party like it’s 2020. He is chatting to character comedian and writer Rosalie Minnitt who is about to do her second hour about her Fringe breakout success Clementine. They chat about how she Peter Kayed her student play, her itinerant childhood, the genesis of her crazy Jane Austen influenced stage persona and how it sometimes surprises here with how far it goes, how men brought up to play stooges all think Rosalie might genuinely be into them and what happened when she actually went on a date with one of them, working with Alan Partridge and the difficulty of finding new subjects for Horrible Histories.

#443 Blew Peter - Richard has not drunk alcohol for 27 months, but should he go back to his drunken (and more amusing ways). As is now traditional his final guest of the series is a member of the Ellis family, it’s the brilliant Janet Ellis. They discuss day time drinking with John Thaw and Dennis Waterman, the irritatingly slow speed of K9 from Doctor Who and the embarrassing googlewhack that happened when Richard searched for his favourite episode of Jigsaw. Plus the sinister presence of Noseybonk, the health and safety nightmare of 1980s Blue Peter, being a nepo mum and what prompted her to become a novelist and the potential awkwardness of reading the steamier bits for the audiobook.

Deam Me Up, Scotty - Rich and Ally are back, if only briefly, for more news that the lamestream media ignores. Today some bad news for fans of dogs and Doctor Who as Richard questions the wisdom of the royals using a Tardis. And then an exciting adventure as someone steals the time machine and makes diabolical plans. Should Ally be the new Doctor? Could be!

RHLSTP Book Club #189 - Running Through Sand - Richard chats remotely with stand up and extreme runner Paul Tonkinson about his attempt to complete the 250km Marathon des Sable through (a little bit of) the Sahara desert. They chat about what drives someone to do such an insane thing, midlife crises, how men don’t talk enough about getting older, working with Michael McIntyre, the wisdom that comes with experience and whether anyone should listen to you, writing a book that is partly about writing the book and having hallucinations in the desert.

RHLSTP #619 - Daily Branch Whack Punishment - It’s another remote RHLSTP, with another Edinburgh bound member of the SNL UK writing team, Chris Cantrill. They chat about working with the delightful Amy Gledhill, the relentless process of writing Saturday Night Live and how it might not live up to the coke-fuelled ego-fest of the original American series, Chris’ new stand up show Rewilding, which centres around the appalling act of vandalism at the Sycamore Gap, why he likes performing at lunchtime and why the Fringe has never been the booze-fuelled holiday that it was for Rich in the 1990s. Plus getting to play small parts in hit sitcoms and an overhaul of our judicial system.
