Haha. Ok, infamy at last! But at least they'll know who you are. They still won't know who Stewart Lee is or why I would pay to see him fight the Man-Wulf at Ally Pally.
I should add that Stewart Lee's gig at Ally Pally last Thursday was brilliant (even more entertaining than Rich's pal Ally) and that more people should know who Stew is and not mistake him for Ali Campbell, Terry Christian, Edwyn Collin, etc.
Sssshhh!!! Don't say that out loud! Ally might hear, then he'll come round to your house and murder you in your bed. But first he'll make you sit on it!
You implied that in Melbourne they were "known", which makes me think they were Australian. But yes, I could be jumping to conclusions. I'll get my coat...
I think it was more that RH was less known there so presume that comic attached themselves to whoever were ‘known’ in Melbourne.
It’s weird if your brain doesn’t work that way to be in the orbit of those networking wierdos. I am a sad white middle aged IT guy like 99% of RH’s audience but even I hve had it occasionally with the people who are desperate to get you to big them up on LinkedIn even if you’ve never actually worked with them directly on anything. Thankfully they jump jobs often so you don’t have to put up with them for too long.
I saw the clip on Instagram and was amused by how many people seem to believe It was real. That said ,the way things are in the world at the moment it's often difficult to see the difference between satire and what's actually going on. I remember when the first series of Black Mirror was out it was kind of a dystopian view of the future whereas now it just seems like news flash about the next week.
Love that clip. Watched it with my eldest; wish I’d waited for my middle one to be near by as I reckon he’d have been as tickled by the squirrel murders - especially the buried acorn bombs - as we were. The best bit is the open title though: ‘When murderers kill’ 😂 That is going to stay with me.
You should feel right proud of yourself, Rich. Not everyone is the subject of a gets a University dissertation! I'm impressed, at least. I'd love to read it. Ask her for a copy?
Fame at last! Now perhaps people will stop saying "Who?" when I tell them I went to see Richard Herring at the Leicester Square Theatre.
Yes, now they will say, what the murderer?

Who? Or WHO? Don't get Ally started on that one again!

“Hardly at all”
Perfect
Wait, I thought your epitaph was going to be "That's 59 years I'm not getting back!"?
Trying to think of a successful Australian comedian whose career was just "kicking" off 20 years ago ........
Who says they were Australian?

I already miss the cheese grater from the original credits.

I know someone who wrote their dissertation about a Shrek! (You met him at the same gig as me, Richard; he has a son in Hitchen).
