Armando Iannucci - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

[@demetrikatsidis6776]

How lucky we are that Armandos parents spurned all others, took the directions they did to meet and create this wonderful man.

[@NxDoyle]

That moment from about 24:50 on I've watched about 20 times. I know Armando is too busy to appear every week, but can we please have him every _other_ week? (I'm quite pleased with myself for time stamping it so I can return and revisit that moment at will.)

[@alpine_newt]

Best episode yet. You should just have Armando on every week.

[@ag48d]

I nearly spat my coffee all over the screen when Armando launched into his hilarious "attack" on Michael Palin.

[@liamhughes1532]

Been waiting on this one, hope Richard brings up creating Partridge again!..... at 18min Armando brings it up in a very funny way. 11/10 for this one gents

[@MissFotini]

I loooooved this interview

[@davidhantonmusic]

50:18 Rich trying to ski is amazing...! Great episode.

[@galesito1733]

If I made a film I'd invite Right Said Fred to the premiere.

[@jryalls]

Great Podcast. Would love it if you could get Scott Gibson on. I’ve seen him 3 times over the last year and he’s one of the best up and coming comedians I’ve ever heard.

[@RadicalMcCannic]

"But I've... I've won a BAFTA". God, Armando makes me laugh every time. Can't wait for Reggie and Dave Gorman!

[@NxDoyle]

8:34 Perhaps the biggest laugh in the history of RHLSTP RHLSTP. I have no control laugh against which it can be measured, but anecdotally, it made me jump while listening on the bus and elicited a few surprised reactions from fellow passengers.

[@Ambersdf]

When is the Paul Chowdry one happening? Id be up for that....

[@amichaelthomas83]

i loved the lee and herring "we wrote this" piss take

[@harryturner8701]

50:16 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂So funny Skiing bit

[@themadplotter]

Armando saying 'turd' is like the best thing in all of comedy.

[@TheMJNicholls]

Seriously hilarious episode

[@hellsbunniestv584]

You do appear to be channelling you inner Patrick Moore, in this intro. :P

[@vinzcassels]

OH MY GOD. I am also Scottish Italian, went to school in Scotland and have almost exactly the same ghost story. Armando, get in touch, we clearly need to confront some kind of racist schoolchild ghost.

[@sirkristoferTV]

Audio is hurting my ears - that resonant note pings everytime they speak.

[@pigknickers2975]

I'm a pro mastering engineer sitting in my studio listening to this. There's a fair bit of room ambience but not much in the way of a resonant peak. Check your gear or EQ a little notch in the mid to taste if you can. It's only slightly off.

[@madderhat5852]

"Oh jinkies, Rasputin was really old man Burgess, the landlord" "And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids"

[@daved2352]

I met a man called 'Ian RHLSTP' the other day, says Richard nicked the idea off him.

[@MrUmandMrEr]

Having just discussed Groundhog Day...Did we talk about Armando's near death experiences last time? Yes you did, yes.

[@forest4life1000]

what's the chance of getting Reginald d hunter or rob becket

[@danshaggy292]

forest4life1000 Hunter’s coming up this series

[@forest4life1000]

danshaggy292 hooray. cheers for letting me know mate.

[@Herring1967]

Reg d hunter pretty good. He's on on the 13th

[@frankbeedell5207]

yay!

[@72JamJars]

If you’re ever stuck for podcast material Rich please do an hour of you trying to ski

[@gemp5061]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@nightw4tchman]

That resonant noise is bloody annoying.

[@marieharrington3573]

Yes, I can't bare it!

[@Tautolonaut]

Stalin Partridge!

[@TheGreatSteve]

I'd watch that.

[@Osentalka]

I guess the funeral was Sean Hughes.

[@neilbiggin]

Great interview but awful sound on this one. Can barely hear either of them. seems like we're picking up an overhead mic instead of the hand helds.

[@loopylou949]

What's happened to his hair blond?

[@mohsinrao4334]

Fucking yeah! My wednesday is made!

[@stephenkerensky710]

Time now to have a go at Lenin. He was a laugh. My grandfather wrote his final school report. Yasneva was a barrel of laughs and I`m sure people will be queuing up to be Dzerzhinsky. I have a few details and the stuff on Kornilov is still immune to Freedom of Info requests so you`ll have to box clever there. Glad you got Beria covered....

[@lemonsweets8282]

1st 1:11:11 Magick is real, and silly ;) 93 93/93

[@PaulWilliamsmk]

Should have put a Shrek in it...

[@amichaelthomas83]

Armando was a massive influence on Lee and Herring it is clear

[@DanielFBest]

Fuck being in prison. I like these cats too much. Screw being inside.

[@pipinpip]

Groundhog Day yeah.. a theory is that she's boasting about it being her student as if he really had been trained by her over a long period. That's i think supposed to be the joke of it. She's bullshitting basically. But no it never made sense to me either! x

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

Kudos for not going there about the funeral

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Richard should have the Spanish guy from.Mind Your Language on.

[@garyrigby21]

IANnucci

[@ptesweats8940]

Get the Golden Girls on, Rich!

[@dirtyevil88]

I push my piles out and attach a bulldog clip to them whilst watching RHLSTP and the World seams a better place

[@DeepPastry]

Stalin isn't so bad... When you compare him to Mao.

[@no_one_of_that_name_here]

eerste!

[@markwatkins8309]

Armando's such a talented writer but I'm afraid really not that interesting in this interview - he looks & sounds very ordinary - the complete opposite of his brilliant comedy shows.

[@Herring1967]

Incorrect, my dear Mark Watkins.

[@bulletproofblouse]

Keen editing on lining up the camera footage of skiing (which is so blurry I think I saw a Bigfoot in the background, nice that hyper-technology modern mobile phones still wistfully long to be 20th generation VHS copies) with the narration. Would have gained an extra mark if it was inset in the corner, but that's nitpicking. B- for Chris Evans (not that one).
