David Baddiel - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

[@brianm2881]

Baddiel was on TMWRNJ. He appears briefly in S02E05, on 'Angus Deayton's Authorized History of Alternative Comedy' as a talking head under the name Comedy Store veteran, Marc Alann', while remembering a Bill Hicks parody standup, played by Paul Putner. "President Bush? Should be called President 'Shrub'..."

[@bonnie43uk]

PROVE IT.

[@brianm2881]

Forgettable times, if you're Baddiel.

[@p00ky76]

Or Richard Herring :)

[@S7EVE_P]

He bloody was as well. After all that bollocks about Lee and Herring being the shit ones as well...cheeky forgetful bastard!

[@sidleydoc]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGHGhJ59n62Lbck about 27 minutes in. You are right and watching this again it suddenly clicked for me. Yes I’m a year late but justice will out

[@brianm2881]

One time, I saw a video of Brian Johnson, the singer from AC/DC doing a little bit of a fun charity reunion gig with his previous band, Geordie. I made the comment, something like "Brian's career really went downhill after leaving this band. Probably needed the money from this gig very badly." Cue 20+ responses from absolute morons telling me that Brian had joined AC/DC and that I was an idiot.

NO DEAL IS BETTER THAN A BADDIEL

[@neilwalker6203]

Coincidentally the Adam Buxton episode also ended on the subject of the Special's 'Free Nelson Mandela'. I'd like to see this become a regular item. Thanks

[@scottemblen-jarrett7973]

Is Kevin Eldon on the cards for a RHLSTP?

[@skawashers]

twice in one day . Herring on the wright stuff and herring on youtube I think im having a herring overdose

[@GoikOShea]

David Baddiel has definitely seen the Disney Channel show "The Replacements".

[@jejmoss11]

I think David Baddiel is one of the best quests for these kinds of shows.

[@NeoDragoN7676]

55:43 BOOM proper made me laugh :) Super enjoyable, love David, i'm really hoping you can get Frank on soon Rich?

[@NxDoyle]

One of the things I like most about RHLSTP RHLSTP is that, regardless of the guest, there's always at least one thing said that sends me scurrying off into a little wormhole of study, or at the very least a substantial chunk of reading. One of the little byways I went down was off the back of their '24 Hours to Go Broke' discussion. I'd not heard of it and looked it up. The first thing I found was an Independent article that gave the very strong impression of a journalist manufacturing outrage at two men who'd been paid to spend money. What really strikes me about Rich & David's conversation and the Independent article is that R & D say it was mis-timed because it was the advent of austerity, but the Independent says the programme coincided with the trumpeting of the end of the recession. As for the Barry Gibb Twitter thing...oy gevalt. I also found a _really strange_ KZbin bug. One of the comments here says "NO DEAL IS BETTER THAN A BADDIEL". Weirdly, that exact comment, time stamped at '17 hours ago' by KZbin, appears under a trailer I just watched for an old Australian film called Wake in Fright, attributed to a different person and time stamped '4 years ago'.

[@cats-uk]

This is a treat. Two great minds

[@retro1082]

I liked Richard weighing up whether or not to pursue the 'when a woman tells a joke' line.

[@lukewheeler2586]

Weird that you never see richard herring and Venus Williams in the same room. Mmmmmmm..........

[@davidrobinson2776]

I’ll never be able to read a George Formby biography after this.

[@PaulCarr1]

Please have Dennis Skinner on.

[@nkenchington6575]

Please have Frank Sinatra on.

[@aphasicteens]

Please have Frankie Avalon on.

[@shammyjeff]

Please have Kenneth Kendall on.

[@Daijyobanai]

please have lynard skinner on

[@emdiar6588]

Newman and Baddiel were NOT the Beatles to L&H's Freddie and the Dreamers. N&B were more like the Stones to L&H's the Kinks, insomuch as L&H wrote and performed much better jokes but N&B got more acclaim.

[@tazdaniels4869]

Brilliantly put. What about Punt and Dennis, Fry and Laurie and Hale and Pace?

[@RighteousBrother]

But a Stones and Kinks comparison is not funny.

[@voyspaceco]

My dad used to sell cricket batz

[@frankhumbug]

cat bum coffee, anyone? (funny:)

[@sonnyjim6451]

I would love to see Frank Skinner on RHLSTP RHLSTP

[@timlandscheidt]

I never understand some people's obsession with roulette & Co. With those games, there is at most perhaps 30 seconds between "I could be a winner" and "nope". When I buy a lottery ticket here in Germany, I literally have five weeks where I can look at (almost) any advertisement and say to myself, maybe I cannot afford the offered product this week, but there is a hypothetical chance for that next week. (And it's so much cheaper, not to speak of the quite different dress codes a casino and my news agent enforce.)

[@hillside21]

In the future, Tower-yurts?

[@Fractometry]

Isn't there another Chris Evans who plays Captain Wales?

[@Ruthypops1]

"Dont Free Nelson Mandela" haha

[@conniedakween5804]

Barry Gibb did a lot of this show years ago

[@RIXRADvidz]

at least when my dad had his affair he had the sense to pick a woman with the same name as his wife. parents are weird.

[@zetetick395]

Fair-do's : This was a goodun! XD *Excellent show fellas!* Also : as for 'Kids Cartoons' (58:30) - I think "Rick & Morty" is a superbly funny, and often really inventive idea-rich comedy show for ALL ages! (there is some swearing, but it's all "Beeped" out - which is *always* funnier anyway imo) - I'm not sure if it's on terrestrial TV here in the UK, but it's *well* worth seeking out a DVD season box (or a torrent if unavailable) - Real Laughter for the whole family of ALL ages! :D

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

Isn't 'freebird' a common heckle in America though?

[@herbivarsawus4359]

David, you have to add 'As you do!' to the end! ^^^j/k^^^ =D

[@meu02136]

Who calls it Tira-MEsu?

[@berniebasset9465]

Tossers. I like Baddiel but he is a little bit of a tosser.

[@zargonthemagnificent330]

Er...Italians do. It's their pudding after all.

[@mangomilkshake2582]

Please have Frank Skinner on.

[@lilacmaninapurpleworld538]

Surprised David kept his hair so well - looks good. Needed saying🤔

[@Oialca]

nice new titles.

[@CoupSounds]

This is cool and everything, but when's Limmy on again?

[@VonBlade]

Anyone who likes the idea of a comedy show that's a thing, Daniel Kitson.

[@kamackei]

Canadians are fine with that.

[@thekaratekidpartii2169]

Newman and Baddiel weren't like The Beatles. People still like The Beatles.

[@stevelivingstone4616]

So..., who pissed the seat?

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Baddie, always the straight guy, even when.on his own

[@HelmetBlissta]

I didn't know David was religious.

[@gazriley624]

have tim vine on

[@Schmucked]

:( didn't know he had such a patronising & arrogant side to his personality. It makes it unwatchable. He is ostensibly so proud of himself. That's really thrown me. I thought I liked him.

[@darrenskinner3711]

You did like him. Now apparently you do not.

[@abegarfield543]

If it's "unwatchable" you couldn't possibly have watched it. If you didn't watch it, you have no opinion of it .

[@aperson7584]

David Bladiblub ...

[@post1305]

David bladdibob

[@rem299]

huge fan but please dont gossip about dappy then just abandon the issue. i like dappy alot.

[@agentm00se]

does anyone actually like david baddiel? :/

[@abegarfield543]

Yes. A lot more than like you.

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

no

[@mrreaper7638]

It seems there's some Cambridge rivalry tension here. David Baddiel keeps trying to haze Mr Herring, unsuccessfully though, using some derogatory sarcasm overly. He is interesting and funny when not trying to be whereas Mr Herring is always funny and maintains professionalism

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Seemed to me Baddiel kept interrupting, putting himself in the 'leader' role, constantly addressed the audience directly, bigged himself up over and over again, and sought every opportunity to undermine Rich.

[@alexsugden2734]

Richard went to Oxford

[@TimStanley1978]

Comment number 2 is usually the best comment ever

[@paulmumford3397]

The Lennon and McCartney of 90s comedy?, the Lennon and Ringo more like. Please don't have Frank Skinner on by the way.
