About me: I am a comedian and writer. In the 1990s I worked with Stewart Lee on such shows as "Fist of Fun" and "This Morning With Richard Not Judy". I wrote the Sky 1 series "Time Gentlemen Please" with Al Murray the Pub Landlord. I am currently working as a stand up comedian and appearing on such radio shows as "Banter" and "That Was Then, This Is Now". If you have satellite TV you can catch me interviewing poker players and poker playing celebrities on "Heads Up With Richard Herring". You can also hear me reviewing the newspapers on the Andrew Collings show on 6Music every Saturday at about 5pm(Click here for details or to listen again)

Sorry Rich, what was that again?..."Headmaster's Son" is hopefully coming out on DVD for xmas? It's good of you to let us know, thanks for that...hang on though, you didn't let me know at all, you charleton you, it was those good people at Go Faster Stripe! Too busy on Twitter & The Wright Stuff today to tell us old-fashioned MySpace friends, I notice (I have got a job - I just happen to be off this week - and, yes, anyone who sticks forks into cats for fun as a kid do end up commiting murder - all of them). Anyway, I've lost my thread a bit but hopefully you will make sure there's a lot more extras on that DVD - just to break your last record. So thanks for that Rich.
Erm, just been to a Jam in a basment. It was different and spesh but never again, maraccas were not classed as a good enough instrument! I told them where to shove my maraccas and they told me not to be so rude and that I had a lovely box. With all this knowledge I decided tol leave, box and all. How was your evening good sir? X
Hey there, just thought we'd let you know that we're throwing a party at The Dublin Caste (Camden) on the 30th of September to launch our new EP. Everyone's invited!
If you venture out to listen to live music, make sure you don't miss out on a great gig & after party...
Blah, blah, blah..."The Headmaster's Son"...blah, blah, blah...DVD...blah, blah, blah...when is it out Rich?...blah, blah, blah...talking to myself again...blah, blah, blah...Blah.
