Here's a brand new show from Adam that we recorded in the BFI in London earlier in the year. It's hilarious. It was one of those nights where we had such a good time we couldn't wait to share it with you all. The show was a best-of compilation of Adam's favourite routines from the past few years. In it, he talks about real life struggles that we can all relate to - working from home whilst trying to avoid the internet. Luckily for us he doesn't manage to keep away from it for too long, as we get to see his search history looking at the work of some beloved performers together with the views of the YouTube commentary community. When relaxing away from the internet we are also treated to a selection of videos that Adam has made that give a pretty good insight into his home life. He even says 'my wife' in a robot voice.
Simon returns once again to what he does, being himself for an hour. He will consider The Absurdity of Houses, lament The Neo-Con Con, perform The New Can-Can, extol The Joy of Washing-Up and generally tell it like it is, was, and might be if we could but get our fingers out. All rise.
“I went to a funeral the other day. Caught the wreath…” That’s what came to me, from the mysterious source of the inexplicable. Hear the story of the joke, the painting, and what happened next. This show was recorded in the hot and sweaty Bill Murray comedy pub in January 2020. It includes a rather splendid after the credits section, and a cool video extra too.
His live stand up show recorded for DVD by Go Faster Stripe in Cardiff in late 2014.
Jesus Christ - Son of God! Saviour of mankind! Superstar! Richard Herring - Son of Keith, a retired headmaster! Once saved a spider that had become trapped in his bath, only crushing three of its legs in the process! Hosted 10 episodes of a chatshow about poker on a satellite channel which subsequently closed down! At first sight they have little in common. Or do they? Join Rich as he answers this question, substantially reworking his first and favourite solo work, Christ on a Bike. Now ten years older than the Messiah when he died, has Herring achieved as much with his life?
“I’ve been mugged three times and arrested once. What a night!” Twenty years ago, in Edinburgh, legendary comedian Simon Munnery was arrested for “being a German in a built-up area”. It wasn’t an early brush with ‘cancel culture’ but it did lead to a trial. For the first time, British Comedy Award nominee, serial innovator and ‘Perennial fringe maverick’ (Guardian), Simon Munnery tells the tale of this trial, as well as his second court appearance last year, one that only came about after four years of a gruelling legal battle (or possibly an administrative backlog). Well, it worked for Lenny Bruce. Simon will also seek to turn various other distressing life occurrences into comedic gold. And there will probably be a song.
"Oh Frig, I'm 50!" is the sequel to Herring's 2007 show "Oh F*ck, I'm 40!". Ten years on, he's more reflective and less hedonistic, poking fun at life's changes and his own ageing body. The show is both introspective and celebratory, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of his first Fringe appearance.
