Elis James - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

[@lajosgoell609]

In case you're wondering who got the role of Indigant Man in Sherlock (s04e02), it was Ben Abell who is married to Kerry Godliman.

[@calumstewart2801]

This is definitely my favourite episode so far

[@lifebites21]

It was really good!

[@mikeeve9928]

A Welso writes: The pub mentioned towards the end is now called The Old Market Tavern. My friends and I also still call it 'Little O'Neills' to differentiate between it and the 'big' O'Neills on St Mary's Street. Which is bigger. Fascinating stuff! Enjoyable podcast to end the series. Good lad, Elis. Richard, your Welsh accent is uncanny. And I really mean that. ; )

[@bonstockage3745]

really good . Thanks!

[@kasrashirdel5519]

Paedo Postman at 1:03:28 for those who need to come back to this every so often.

[@bulletproofblouse]

Thank you.

[@Ninja0wl]

Elis James certainly committed to this podcast.

[@Dave062YT]

Never knew you spoke fluent Welsh Richard .Impressive .As a Welsh speaker myself I can vouch for the fact that it was word perfect. p.s. Blue st is still just USA Chicken and the bus station lol .

[@MsFifi11c]

Dave062YT lol

[@twatwatwat]

Thanks for another ace series Rich

[@danshaggy292]

I had no idea that Ian Ballbearing was Welsh. I lost it at "Oooh, here she comes!"

[@Twistedhippy]

Phew, thought this was the last one but roll on series ten. As it occurs to me? I'm spoiled!

[@Dave062YT]

Elis James is class.Now i've said that I 'll watch it ..p.s. Hi Mike just seen you in the audience .

[@bulletproofblouse]

Ha ha! Classic Mike!

[@Dave062YT]

I know ....larging it as per .

[@RIXRADvidz]

seriously?? here I had just watched Mock the Week and there's Elis James, never heard of him before, and he's actually Very Very Funny. !! I got some genuine laughs out of his showing, so I was thinking, hmmm where do I find more? and HERE he pops up with one of my most favorite people on the wwweb. Well, Refresh my coffee, stoke the bowl and get ready to kick completely back and have another day raised to perfection by Mr. Herring and his Good Works. here, have one of my Most Gracious Thank You's ...they're heavy and hard to cart around..

[@andampersand3871]

He has a radio show/podcast with John Robins too

[@andampersand3871]

I realize now, after watching it, that it (obviously) came up in the show.

[@RIXRADvidz]

And Ampersand weird how that happens huh??

[@beenwilson]

Yes please!

[@janofe2232]

+Richard Herring Hi Richard, felt like I finally owe you some money for this entertainment! Absolutely love the series, and am also a big fan of your stand up. Have pledged some money for the kickstarter (T-Shirt package) and hope you get all the funding you need to keep the series going! I was just wondering if you had thought of asking Caitlin Moran to come on as a guest? I would love to hear a conversation between the two of you! Keep up the good work!!

[@robgreen1818]

You can hear his Partridge influence! Brilliant!

[@oldbowdy1712]

really enjoyed this one. and i know you are probably inundated with guest requests but.... i would like to see you interview writer Gideon Defoe as for a time i thought he was you writing under a pseudonym!

[@RIXRADvidz]

TEXAS??!! I escaped Texas very early in life, I was 6 weeks old, I crawled to the Land of Enchantment and became what I am today, a Non-Texan. but my sister returned like a salmon to it's birth river, even though she was born in Albuquerque....and I can genuinely say that people that claim Texas as their home, never advance beyond Texas. oh, this is being viewed from way up here in Denver.

[@jodysunter9041]

Love the irony that the overkill of the paedophile postman bafta bit was so Stewart Lee 🤣

[@Herring1967]

Where do you think he got that from?

[@MrJambot]

I would like to lock Elis and Rich in a room so that I can tell them about my dreams for an hour.

[@bulletproofblouse]

Thank you for you avatar making me think I had a bit of hair on my screen. I was rubbing it for far too long!

[@abegarfield543]

@@bulletproofblouse At least you've got a shiny screen now.

[@mjowsey]

Every time I see the thumbnail I think "that's Ronnie O'Sullivan!"

[@bushiebodge]

great thanks again

[@robertadamgilmour3375]

Are episodes being shortened to 45 minutes next series?

[@Herring1967]

No, but if that is what you want it's pretty easy to achieve. Just stop watching at the 45 min mark and bob's your uncle

[@Twistedhippy]

What's my uncle's name?.....think I've misunderstood.

[@alanbonham100]

can we have them 3 hours long please thanks?

[@robertadamgilmour3375]

I like the really long episodes so I'm glad to hear that.

[@abegarfield543]

@@Herring1967 Bob's not really an uncle, he's more lke a friend of the family.

[@BatteryExhausted]

Like how he gives a political analogy via Eurovision critique.

[@Knight-Bishop]

Sorry, Richard. I'd buy tickets to go see you, but... I don't have the extra thousands for the additional plane tickets I would need. I miss the UK...

[@cats-uk]

He was class in Crims!

[@cats-uk]

And he's class on Josh* (BBC). This interview is pretty fascinating. *Josh widdicombe is so funny and clever

I like his cackle

[@ericthompson5875]

Sony's marketing was spectacular for GB. Brought in a bunch of people I'd never expect to bat for them. Well done! RedLetterMedia's science-man about GB is great, check it out.

[@Uygkuyfkutfkytfkutfv]

Eric Thompson yeah but have you watched their review of it? Quite rightly highlights just how fucking dumb Richards comments on it at the end of this pod are.

[@ericthompson5875]

olivertopple Yes I've watched both. Science man is specifically about the marketing of the film, and why a lot of "right on" people were made to feel the need to support it, and how what they defended it from may not have existed to the extent they've been made to imagine. It's sort of a followup to the review (as well as to their excellent Jack and Jill review, which went after Sony marketing also). "Fucking dumb" seems a bit harsh and rude.

[@BatteryExhausted]

Swansea. "A pretty shitty city" (Twin Town) Lets have your favourite quotes then...

[@gazriley624]

watched this cos i didn't know who Elis James was

[@MM-dq2pi]

To a non-UK person, 'creamery' sounds dirty.

[@fernandopoo8211]

Does Ellis mimic Josh Widdicombe with the nervous hand all over the head or vice versa?

[@jamesmcgovern7579]

sounded like soupy norman on the postman bit

[@BatteryExhausted]

People who don't 'get' football have not grown up in the culture. It is not about the men, nor the ball, but the culture. This experience is romantic. As a child it is like a cross between fairytale and reality. As you grow up, it becomes about visceral emotions and camaraderie. It is a bit like telling men from the trenches in WW1 that war is 'silly.' It is not about the shooting or the guns really is it. It is about humanity. Football is a continually evolving narrative that you can become invested in and feel a real part of. There is so much more to football than the gam itself. As I said, it is a culture. It is, therefore, ridiculous to ridicule football culture as an uninitiated outsider. It just makes you seem like someone who has missed the point. A real shame, if you have, as Elis explains, not experienced the joy and pain of real football culture.

[@TheAlmightyAss]

Comparing football to the trenches of world war one I think sums up how deluded and stupid football people are. The thuggery, the racism, the sexism, the childlike worship of millionaire rapists kicking a ball around and tribal hatred of people who support a different team is incredibly destructive. And yes, I grew up loving football as a child and teenager. Obviously as an adult I realised what it was and the people who worshipped at the altar of football.

[@MsFifi11c]

Oh God, I love Ellis, but he had to be a fucking Beatles fan! no one's perfect after all
