Joe Lycett - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

[@stevegoodson9022]

This is so much like watching a young man visit his elderly father in a retirement home and having a nice long heart-to-heart chat while he still has the chance, pretty heartwarming stuff really.

[@jodysunter9041]

Especially with Esme chiming in inappropriately 🤣🤣

[@sammullett17]

A video of Joe Lycett on KZbin and more than 5 minutes long, hurray :)

Esme Young is also a costume designer for low budget British films, 28 Days Later, Bridget Jones, Trainspotting etc.

This is such a lovely chat. Funny in parts but really very introspective and generous in how earnest it is. I love both of you cheeky fucks.

[@Jayneflakes]

Another fabulous episode, thank you Richard.

[@upendasana7857]

Personally I think Joe Lycett is way more talented than Jack Whitehall,I think Jack is a safer bet so probably gets work because of that.I LOVE Joe Lycett,I think he should have is own talk show or some other big gig like take over from Graham Norton!!perhaps,he is super funny and clever and deserves more exposure.Keep doing what you're doing Joe.Also glad to see you are taking over the sewing Bee especially from Claudia Winkleman who gets every dam gig apparently,look forward to seeing it with you on it.

[@themadplotter]

Well Joe's dad isn't connected with the BBC so he did more than 10 gigs before getting on TV... *catty*

[@itsnotworthit7178]

they're both funny but Joe is superior he would make a great chat show host

Couldn't agree more. Joe Lycett is brilliant!

49:58 - I was watching this on my phone on the toilet and laughed so much I started pissing as well as shitting, we've all been there, right? Happy new year Richard and RHLSHP fans!

Has Joe Lycett ever narrated any audiobooks? Alongside being very funny, he has a fab voice. His gentle articulation would work marvellously with some dark material.

As an Aussie, I enjoyed the unintended joke from Joe at the start, in response to Richard saying he only had sex one, it was bad, with Stuart Lee: 'I think I found the root of your problem'.

It's a shame the way Stu treated you on that second podcast. You are both hilarious in your own way and you also slightly remind me of each other in your delivery. Possibly years of crafting your art together. Keep up the good fight stone man Herring.

[@pameladoov7427]

Was that the one that went something like this: Richard: "Hey Stew, do you remember the 90s?" Stew: "No!"

[@Tao_Tology]

I think it's fair to say that both Richard and Pear Cider Stewart could do with letting their egos down a bit.

[@meytalmitchellvainstub1602]

Joe easily can do with a master in Philosophy. Could be brilliant for him. so intelligent

[@kaemincha]

I wouldn't agree with Richard saying Joe doesn't make comedy with serious meaning either. Especially with the busting companies he's been doing.

[@helenl3193]

I think he meant to say that *some* of Joe's stuff is just trolling for fun and/or is less motivated by earnest political message, but I agree, even when he does it's always at a deserving target - scammers, negligent/dodgy businesses, etc. He uses his irreverent powers for good :)

Bless him - Buddhist doesn't teach 'nothingness'...that would be pointless! Buddhist explains the 'lack of' inherently existent things. Meaning, things do exist BUT not in the way that they appear (as fixed, solid, unchanging and depending on nothing for their existence) Things exist in dependance upon the mind that imputes them...(Which is just intellectual until you get actual experience of the meaning of that in your heart, in meditation!)

[@charliepotter100]

I don't think there's any need to be so patronising. He said that Buddhists believe that there's no self - which as far as I understand is true. He did say it as if that was the same as the idea of the existence of nothingness, which is obviously a confused conflation, but the difficulty of the metaphysics of nothingness is a perfectly legitimate and interesting question in itself (Nicholas Waghorn's book on that is really interesting). I think given how difficult these questions are to state accurately, and that it was a pretty off the cuff remark, it's a bit silly to pick him up on it.

[@jopar3292]

​@@charliepotter100 Fair point :) Sorry

[@charliepotter100]

@@jopar3292 NO. I am sorry, I over-reacted. I spend way too much time being bored on the internet. There's just something about that phrase 'bless him' that triggers me. I also didn't know that Buddhists thought that existence was mind dependent, so thanks for that. Also my reply was pretty patronising itself, so clearly I'm a hypocrite.

[@jopar3292]

@@charliepotter100 :D - Now I read it back - I can see what you mean! The internet is a great place to overreact too!. Im always doing it - What personally triggers me is Americans always pronouncing their letter O's as A !? Like StOlingrad (: - Its difficult to talk about Buddhist beliefs because they are like a big puzzle - One piece depends upon and is linked to other pieces. Getting one piece out of context just makes it all the more confusing and unbelievable. Anyway - Buddha's teachings on the mind are mind blowing (pun intended) For example the Buddhist definition of mind .... "Mind is a formless continuum, clear like space but that functions, & has the power to know or perceive things" !! Mind itself is Not a process of a physical cause and so at the time of death, when the link between the body of this life and the mind ends, the conciousnouss leaves the physical body and shortly enters another body . Karma or cause & effect (in English) is also very interesting - The motivation & intention of ones actions of body, speech or mind leave imprints or seed like impressions on the concioussnouss. Later when certain causes and conditions come together these seeds ripen as experiences - negative actions leading to suffering results and wholesome actions leading to pleasant or fortunate results. Whether someone believes in karma or not Im sure you can appreciate that that belief and the meaning of what mind is, forms the basis of a potentially very wholesome and good hearted life. Anyway, again, sorry, its hard to write about such things without sounding a bit preachy or know-it-all? I very much agree with you - there are so many interesting topics out there. An open mind and heart can appreciate and take in so much. That old adage is so true - The more I know, the more I realise I don't know !! :) And to be honest, I find its not difficult to know many things but to actually put them into practice...whole different ball game. Still, its a good life trying to
