Talking Cock - script
Again I think there's a lot of stuff that I ad-libbed missing from this version, but it's 95% the show I used to do. Hope you enjoy it. Warning - contains knob gags

Twelve Tasks of Hercules Terrace - the script
This is the most up to date version of the script of TTTOHT that I have. Some bits still got ad-libbed over and above this, but this should give you a fair idea of how it was.

Fist of Fun tour script
This is a rough script of the Fist of Fun tour show from 1996 Alas the bits we knew we've only put in in note form, but it gives you some idea of what was going on.

Another unmade TMWRNJ sketch
This is a sketch written for the Sunday Heroes section about Adam and Eve, but then we decided to concentrate on the New Testament.

Rich and Stew host CBBC
Lee and Herring presented both Top of the Pops and the CBBC broom cupboard. Here's the script for the latter appearance
• CBBC.DOC |
Never made TMWRNJ sketch
Here is a sketch that I have no memory of ever writing about a woman who drinks urine that amazingly never made it to the TV.
Plus a letter we wrote to send off to celebs to see if we could get them to support the cause. I don't think we sent this off, but did do one about legalising anal sex which this is a poor imitation of.

The Last Word Monologue 2

This is a monologue I did on More4's "The Last Word" which was cut down quite a lot, mainly due to me taking the piss out of "Balls of Steel"

First draft scripts from Heads Up With Richard Herring

Obscure Lee and Herring script from 1991
In early 1991 me and Stew were asked to do a gig for IBM by our mate Tony Brennan who worked for them at the time. I guess this is the closest we ever came to doing a corporate, though I think we were paid £50 each, for which we did the script you are about to read, and then also a stand up set each at a party afterwards. Though we also got free drink.
It is, I suppose, the first time me and Stew ever worked together as a double act and there's some quite funny stuff in there. Alas, pages six and seven have been lost with the passage of time, and I expect they were the funniest of all.. yes, definitely.

Dictionary
Another sketch by me that was in the previews of the Oxford Revue but was axed before the tour.
Again it is mainly rubbish, but I have a soft spot for it.
• Dictionary 1.jpg • Dictionary 2.jpg |
Turd Beetles
A rather poor early effort written by me on my own. I played the Mother Beetle in a terrible rip-off Terry Jones woman voice.
Why am I showing this to the world?
The only way is up.

The first script written by Lee and Herring together
Although we had performed some sketches before that we had written separately, this was the first script we collaborated on (along with Mike Cosgrave and Rich Canning).
The song mentioned was a deliberately annoying dirge, which went something like "I wish I had invented penicillin. I really wish I had invented penicillin. I'd sing all day long I invented penicillin. I wouldn't have to worry cos I'd have invented penicillin"
Each verse was the same but wished a different thing. One was "I wish that I was Henry D Perky" and another was "I wish I knew pi to 17 decimal places".
I think I wrote that when I was 12!
The man drinking beer is a cross reference to a previous sketch which was a triple act called Spoon, Knife and Peterson, which was essentially a trad double act, except they had a man sitting drinking beer at the side of the stage.
• Incester 1.jpg • Incester 2.jpg |
My Penis Can Sing
Originally written for a school revue (I was still about 17 when I wrote it so have very little excuse), this is the song that Stewart Lee heard about and thought I might be worth working with.
It is very hard to see why.
• Penis 1.jpg • Penis 2.jpg |
Carbon Dioxide Hoarding
As mentioned in Warming Up from 30th June 2003, this is another old University script which made it into the final version of the Oxford Revue 1988.
There was an additional final line which was the old fella pointing at the flower and saying "You bastard", just in case you hadn't got the joke.
You decide how shit we were.
• Carbon dioxide 1.jpg • Carbon Dioxide 2.jpg |
Ashley Hilarious
This is a sketch that we did in the preview run of the Oxford Revue, but which nobody liked so we cut it from the Edinburgh version.
But I think it's quite funny now.
That last line read "looks at the sandwich, then throws himself dramatically off the wall."
No we were right. It was rubbish.
• Ashley Hilarious.jpg |
Weekending 14th September 1990
This one is slightly funnier.
• weekending2.jpg |
Weekending 20th April 1990
Stew and my's first ever script to get accepted by Weekending. It loses something in being a topical sketch about something that even I can't remember. Still,hilarious hey?
