Fist of Fun - Series 2 DVD

Here's the second series of the a Fist 'o' Fun for you all. And you can finally answer the questions that have plagued mankind for years. Was this the series that suffered from being hastily written and having its budget cut by a third? Or was it the better series as our heroes are more comfortable on screen, and have refined their ideas?

Whatever way you look at it, this is the series that has a special place in the nation's heart as it features the moon on a stick, Rod Hull and of course Ian News.

Talking Cock 2: The Second Coming

It's an object of shame and pride; it can inspire laughter and fear; it's a symbol of power, yet it's incredibly fragile and weak; it can be a pound of flesh or an ounce of winkles, it can be used to express both love and hate; it creates life, it can condemn us to death... and it can do wees as well.

How can one tiny flap of sponge and sinew be all these things?

Richard Herring, "The King of Edinburgh" (The List), returns to the Fringe in his Silver Jubilee year (he first performed here in 1987) to find out all about men and their spam javelins, in this reworking of his smash-hit 2002 show, Talking Cock.

What is Love, Anyway? DVD

'What is l-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uhve anyway? Does anybody love anybody anyway?'
So asked the insane, Welsh, poet-philosopher, Howard Jones in 1983. But in the intervening 28 years no one has dared to answer his questions? Until now. Over the course of this DVD, Richard Herring seeks to define and destroy love. Before love destroys him. Again.
As usual, we have stuffed the DVD full of our love - manifested as a juicy pile of extras. These include the first ever televised Me1 vs Me2 snooker frame, a chat about how much of the show was actually true, some abandoned poetry and an episode of the Manhattan Cable TV show Media Funhouse.

Richard Herring's Edinburgh
Fringe Podcast

This is the only Royal Jubilee that anyone is talking about this year. Fringe royalty Richard Herring (“The King of Edinburgh” The List) celebrates the 25th anniversary Silver Jubilee of his first Edinburgh appearance with this daily, improvised, topical chat show with some of the present and future stars of the Fringe. A fantastic live experience for anyone in town, but also released as an unedited podcast so people around the world can get a flavour of the greatest Arts Festival on the planet from the best venue in town.

Fist of Fun - Series 1 DVD

It feels like it's all been building up to this - as you know, we've spent the last few years filming the best comedians that are currently working. But did you know that we've been squirrelling the money away, so that we can present this - a four disc set of Fist of Fun series 1.

We've got the TV series of course, but we've also got you a lot more...

Christ on a Bike! DVD

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?

Now ten years older than the Messiah when he died, has Herring achieved as much with his life?

Hitler Moustache DVD

Has Adolf Hitler ruined that moustache for everyone? The only place you will see it these days is carved into a woman's pubic hair. Is it possible to reclaim the toothbrush moustache for comedy? After all, Chaplin had it first.

Here is Richard's latest DVD, available only from Go Faster Stripe as three-DVD-and-one-moustache set.

And for a limited period - you'll also get a free Hitler moustache of your own.

How Not To Grow Up

Richard Herring has a major problem. He's about to turn 40 and hasn't seen it coming. He's not married, doesn't have a proper job or 2.4 children. But now, finally, it looks as if the world expects him to be a grown up - and he's completely unprepared for it.

How Not to Grow Up is the hilarious story of how a self-confessed perpetual Big Kid deals with his greatest fear - getting older - and is the perfect book for everyone who, deep down, still thinks that they're 18...

Headmaster's Son DVD

In The Headmaster's Son, a nostalgic and faintly disturbing juvenile romp through the 1980s, Richard Herring considers what could possibly be worse than being a podgy, swotty, virginal schoolboy. What if your dad's the headmaster too?

Here's Rich's show, captured over two discs at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol, and on location at Rich's parent's house in Cheddar.

Oh F*ck, I'm Forty! DVD

This is a recording of the show made in March 2008, when Rich was coming to the end of his 40th year. And much like an old man's belly, this release is our most bloated to date. So bloated in fact that we need another disc to fit everything on.

So, as well as the usual extras like an interview and photo slide show, there's a specially shot documentary retracing Rich's infamous night in Liverpool, a video version of Rich's podcast with Andrew Collins, the complete one off comedy drama 'A Very British Cult' and lots more.

Bye Bye Balham

On November 25th 2002, comedian Richard Herring began writing a blog. He called it Warming Up as his hope was that the exercise would help him overcome his writer’s block and get in the mood for a day of writing. It didn’t quite work out as he hoped. Most days Warming Up was all he achieved. But he has kept on writing, every single day, for over six years and instead created an insight into his life and the inner recesses of his brain.

ménage à un DVD

ménage à un sees Herring consolidate his position as one of the UK’s most uncompromising and innovative stand-ups in a show which deals with loneliness, only-ness and Onanism, and attempts to determine whether three-in-a-bed sex romps are really better than one-in-a-bed sex romps.

Along the way he reveals why Olivio is the most dangerous spread for the confirmed bachelor, claims that we can save humanity by having sex with sea creatures and discusses the existential angst of being a comedy character who exists solely to deliver a disappointing punch-line.

Someone Likes Yoghurt DVD

In Someone Likes Yoghurt, Herring shares with us his world of gonorrhoea-transmiting magpies, his attempts to become successor to Pope John Paul II, and his local supermarket's utterly humiliating new checkout service: the grocery interrogation.

Herring delivers the sexiest, most seductive comedy on the Fringe... a masterful comedian

Twelve Tasks of Hercules Terrace DVD

In the Twelve Tasks of Hercules Terrace, Rich shares with us his mission to make something of his sad comedian's existence through a catalogue of seemingly impossible challenges.

So will he succeed in running the marathon, going skydiving, and dating 50 women in 50 nights? Or will he fail in his vain attempt to prove his superiority to the Greek demi-god?

And does steeling Germaine Greer's bra strictly count as a Herculean task? Yes - I suppose it does.

Hello, welcome to www.richardherring.com - for all your Richard Herring based needs.

This is the website of the 5ft6 and a half inch Yorkshire born, Somerset bred comedian who you may know via his double act with Stewart Lee (Fist of Fun, TMWRNJ) or his podcasts and radio shows with Andrew Collings, or his solo touring shows like Christ on a Bike or Hitler Moustache. Or maybe from AIOTM (aiotm) or the things he's written for telly like "Time Gentlemen Please" or "You Can Choose Your Friends" or his radio shows like "Richard Herring's Objective" or "Banter" or "That Was Then This Is Now" or maybe you saw one of his plays like "Punk's Not Dead" or "Excavating Rita" Or read one of his books "How Not To Grow Up" or "Talking Cock" or possibly even his short-lived satellite television poker based chat show, "Heads Up With Richard Herring". Yeah, probably not from that one, statistically speaking.

Perhaps you have just seen him on Dave on a repeat of "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" or "Have I Got News For You" and are just trying to work out who the heck he is.

Well he is a short, middle-class, middle-aged comedian and writer who has appeared at nearly every Edinburgh Fringe since 1987 and been working professionally since 1989. Which is why he's been involved in so much stuff.

And there's lots to keep you amused on this website, which is updated daily with forthcoming gigs, press articles, his own journalistic efforts, plus scripts and photos for you to download and most notably the incredible blog, "Warming Up" which has an entry for every day since November 25th 2002, making it probably the second longest daily blog in the world.

You can email Richard or follow him on Twitter or Facebook. And there's links to his podcasts and other relevant pages, as well as pages dedicated to some of his projects.

So stop reading this boring list of the fun things that are on the site and go and look at some of the things. Or all of them. But only if you've got a Hell of a lot of time on your hands.
