Armando Iannucci - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

[@DMEB]

Another perfect guest. Would love to see him back again.

[@Herring1967]

Yes me too. Fingers crossed

[@DMEB]

@@Herring1967 such a tease!!

[@RadicalMcCannic]

Armando is a fantastic guest, can't wait to see him again! Great interview, loving the new emergency questions!

[@antiquariancrafts2454]

Brilliant. Best guest possible IMO.

[@20thCenturyPox]

Feeling so much better about consuming this after contributing to the latest Kickstarter - RHLSTP!

[@WhiteSleevedStu]

We know that's you, Richard.

[@20thCenturyPox]

Whilst our silhouette's may be easily confused, I don't have his nice silky hair.

[@readventurekids]

Armando is a such a pleasure to listen to! Another smashing podcast!

[@BatteryExhausted]

The way Armando connects the dots (for example his robotic idea) is genius. Can't wait for his future works. :D

[@moeezS]

51:00 The Death Of Stalin talk. Saw it a few days ago, absolutely brilliant and the best comedy film of 2017.

[@chrisofnottingham]

Putting the name of the guest first in the title and having a thumb nail of the guest makes it much easier to browse these videos on KZbin. I just wish you did this earlier.

[@BatteryExhausted]

He should go back and fix all the old uploads.

[@simac3880]

Life's so tough eh?

[@NeoDragoN7676]

Perfect guest is Armando! Funny, Intelligent and silly. A perfect match for you Rich :) Faaaantastic episode!

[@joaopedrog.dasilva327]

One of my favourites podcasts till now!

[@ericthompson5875]

More RHLSTP is the best surprise, this show is great. Simon Amstell and Lou Sanders #2 when? Not that every other episode isn't excellent.

[@alisonwinter9022]

Brilliant episode\ podcast. One of the best !

[@superseagoat]

Those posters of books are fantastic. I'd love a spineless classic of Don Quixote please.

[@cruiserscreek]

Yep, one of the best, cheers Rich!

[@NxDoyle]

Rich often cites David Mitchell as his dream guest, with Adam Buxton not too far behind. I love both, so wouldn't quibble with those choices at the pointy end. But Armando is right up there. There aren't too many one-on-one interview subjects who make for compelling listening. Not only is he compelling, he rolls with everything that comes his way. Love him.

[@ascendancy425]

I'm surprised Armando is a fan of classical music. As the crossest man in Scotland once said "It's just vowels. Subsidised foreign fucking vowels".

[@RIXRADvidz]

I like them Sky Potatoes.....always get a good one! Thanks for still working through sickness and health, 'til ....well..let's see about that later....much later.... as always a great sit down.

[@hanumaniam]

one of the best. laugh out loud funny 😃

[@BrokenNoseMedia]

Love this ep, Rich!

[@kisbie]

Love Armando's imagination. "Toiling the fields dressed as elves." XD

[@cats-uk]

This is a treat!

[@Dinckelburg]

Came here for a laugh, saw your screen name, now Im miserable.

[@cats-uk]

Catháin Ó Danachair don't be, lots of cats are being adopted, people love cats

[@moodini99]

I agree. Decent chat.

[@youreright6627]

i have cats myself

[@kenpudsey6435]

good podcast I've been a fan of armando's work for a while

[@ChubbyChecker182]

they should call it the Richard Herring Theatre.

[@James-ju4gj]

[@paulyoung22]

[@DanielLecoqRooster]

He keeps calling it Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre but they'll shorten it eventually

[@1angelsigh]

I'll watch anything Armando does, but he sold me just based on the initial premise to go and watch that AI film on release! Burst out laughing at it.

[@julienguieu5636]

Ahh, the good ol' days when the very idea of a Trump presidency was absurdly hilarious...

[@all_bare_kamu7616]

57:22 Since then we have found out what Prince Andrew has been up to

[@cmitchell6927]

I went to the spineless classics webpage, so there you go. Advertising.

[@domw3239]

I love you Richard!! So funny, always make me laugh with your insecurity over how your career has panned out and I'm just here driving a forklift for a living like a mong! What a man!

[@goodlookingcorpse]

1:14:24 Apparently Oskar Schindler spent a lot of the rest of his life bumming off the people he saved.

[@davidgormley7990]

You've got that slightly wrong. He spent the rest of his life bumming the people he saved.

[@hamishsummers5255]

but has he ever flown a kite?

[@cuzned1375]

Can’t believe you forgot to ask him where the car was in the safari park.

[@CAMZAB]

I've had a bit of a break from the channel this year. I'm coming back to binge watch and had to start with Armando. I'm coming to see one on 27th November and on my print out it says Peter Serafinowicz and Lucy Porter are on the day after, they are on adjoining episodes on the channel a month ago, I've just noticed. Do they come as a package deal or did you just rebook them both whilst they were there and not think about they deja vu feeling your viewers will feel when the Nov 28th episodes are uploaded?

[@williamclay7128]

a good kickstarter!

[@lloroshastar6347]

Ever since I saw this I've been trying to make the Pancake Day Camel a mascot for Shrove Tuesday

[@joiedeceivre]

but did you really walk a 7 mile tetrahedron around Dumfries?

[@NxDoyle]

46:27 "Do you remember the really boring bit" in the middle of 1984? asks Rich. I do. I'm sure many of you do, too. I've read 1984 perhaps six or seven times, twice in high school. We had two senior years in Queensland when I was a kid. In 11th grade I did 1984 in English. It was heavily implied that we wouldn't be tested on the boring middle bit, just to focus on the narrative. I surely wouldn't have been the only one who was grateful for that implication once I reached it. In 12th Grade we did 1984 again, this time in Modern History. And it was explicitly stated that we must not skip the boring middle bit. So I read it. It's the only time I read it. Suffice it to say I can't remember any of it but I remember the name: _The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism_ by Emmanuel Goldstein.

[@YorwerthHiraeth]

Thank you. Had to search the comments as I could not remember a 'boring bit'.

[@DogOfKrondor]

39.50 a flashback to TMWRNJ? Did jesus look like Stewart Lee and tell a racist story about the Samaritans?

[@buckhinschwey]

Here in 2020. Viruses, Trump and Prince Andrew...

[@oilyplinth]

such a great impression of Trump

[@madderhat5852]

Armando should write for Doctor Who

[@prnfl]

Armando has a great imagination, he'd make a good writer

[@KieranWalsh1]

The community of people who believe in Father Christmas - the Santanistas?

[@skawashers]

I wonder if the Mousetrap carp knows that the policeman did it

[@rubiumproductions]

Glitch at 9:00 yer welcome :p

[@RaveTracks]

Totally freaked me out. Thought I was having an acid flashback!

[@brickscratch]

Another @ 51:09.. or is he a glitchy robot sent too early ? Umm , probably no

[@oktal3700]

At 56:40 Rich said the word "weird" in a weird way. Definitely a robot.

[@TheMJNicholls]

I want to hear more of Armando's Trump impression

[@emdiar6588]

Did he invent the Nucci?

[@DanielFBest]

Good!!!!!!! It's great?

[@worzo1284]

Watch on Speed 0.5 for drunk Richard trying to say "Iannucci" and "www".

[@OldSkoolWax]

I can't believe those hands belong to an adult male.

[@matthewstone1362]

Trump. The norman collier of the Whitehouse.

[@lloroshastar6347]

8 years later, Trump has just been re-elected after a 4 year hiatus, and although the Democrat options were far from ideal, I still don't get why Trump? I still do not understand the appeal, I don't understand the rhetoric or ideology. I'm still getting told that 'the woke' is worse, without getting a clear definition of what 'woke' is, and then when I get a vague description of what 'woke' is, it's actually not all that bad or even good, and what the alternative is still sounds soooooo much worse. Like, there is literally nothing, nothing at all that makes me think 'well, at least this issue will be fixed', because even the issues that are going to be 'fixed' are going to be 'fixed' in the most awful way possible.

"all the goodies are still alive"

[@Herring1967]

Weird how statements made years ago aren't necessarily true now, huh?

[@DanielFBest]

Just now there was the comment made that angered me so terribly that I had to went back to rehear the made thing. Said made thing was about having sex with robots said by Richard. Such was the feeling of anger that I brains felt in my head, that the great thing was that two things actually were coming into my brains. They put used to be so nice about robots and their missionary predispositions. So stop it you two, in case I block you on Facebook.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

get Donald Trump on

[@BatteryExhausted]

Will be hard when he becomes president but after he has relinquished power I should imagine he will do the talk shows... lol

[@kenpudsey6435]

that's a made up name

Yeah, sure 'Ken'
