Richard Herring 'A humiliating and upsetting experience'

Update: 2014-08-18

Description

We went backstage at the Balham Comedy Festival 2014 to catch up with the pioneer of the podcast. Fresh from performing his new show 'Lord of the dance settee', he reminisces on his most memorable podcast moments, including some unexpected answers from Stephen Fry. He also defends fellow comedian Frankie Boyle and his own material on the holocaust and there's even time for some chat about demonic monks and mechanical dogs!
