Richard Herring

Herring during the final performance of ''As It Occurs To Me'' in 2011 Richard Keith Herring (born 12 July 1967) is an English stand-up comedian and writer whose early work includes the comedy double act Lee and Herring (alongside Stewart Lee). He is described by ''The British Theatre Guide'' as "one of the leading hidden masters of modern British comedy".

Towards the end of the double act, Herring also worked as a writer, producing four plays. After Lee and Herring went their separate ways he co-wrote the sitcom ''Time Gentlemen Please'', but quickly returned to performance with concept-driven one-person shows like ''Talking Cock'', ''Hitler Moustache'' and ''Christ on a Bike'' as well as regular circuit stand-up. Herring has created thirteen of these stand-up shows since 2004, performing them for eleven consecutive years at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with annual tours and a final performance recorded for DVD. His 2016–17 show was a 'best of' tour, drawing from these shows.

Herring is recognised as a pioneer of comedy podcasting, initially with broadcaster Andrew Collins on ''The Collings and Herrin Podcast'' and subsequently with high-profile comedians and celebrities such as Dawn French, Michael Palin and Stephen Fry on ''Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast''. He has maintained a daily blog called ''Warming Up'' without a break since 25 November 2002. His blog is archived by the British Library for purposes of UK documentary heritage. In September 2024 he started publishing the blog (and other material) on Substack where he has 9000+ subscribers. Provided by Wikipedia
