Limmy - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

Monopoly Penguin
Rich is on the cusp of a couple of massive life changes, but he won’t let ageing and moving get in the way of asking comedians strange questions in an attempt to make them reveal intimate truths. Today he talks to a man with inventive ideas for revenge and murder, Limmy.
They discuss being concreted into the pavement, manspreading, swearing xylophones, fake whatsapps, undescended testicles, sea lion genitals, how to save money when touring, the joy of travelling the world and seeing nothing but Columbo and dedicate a lot of time to the best tactics required to win at Monopoly.

Benny Harvey would have loved this. RIP big man.

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Gone but not forgotten.

[@JamieCurrant]

I met him at a charity thing once. Surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny. Will be missed

[@noghd2560]

He went the wrong way down a one way street.

[@Rey-eq4vq]

R.I.P I always thought you were a bawbag mate but I guess it's pretty shite that you're dead.

[@TheXitone]

he wiz a daft tit come on tae fuck wie this shite ...just coz he's deid lets no forget wit happened .

[@monbec_sigrym]

Limmy's ability to convey so much with a tiny facial expression is incredible. He's a fantastic actor.

[@karikells]

rich, i'm a u.s. based viewer & i discovered RHLSTP (rhlstp!) over lockdown. i can't thank you enough for doing these! you've introduced me to so many comedians i'd never heard of & i now adore! (i've always watched more brit tv than u.s. tv so i've known a lot of your guests. which is how i found the podcast in the first place.) limmy is one of those people. i love seeing him interviewed. i love reading his books. i love the eps of Limmy's Show that i've been able to find. (very few are avail even on the sneaky, hidden areas of the interwebs where i can find brit shows that aren't otherwise avail to people in the u.s..) limmy is such a gem... i also love that limmy is one of the guests who you allow to answer your questions. (i know you know this, but you normally ask a question that you yourself answer, so you dominate the time. which is fine. it's your thing. it hasn't stopped me from subscribing to your channel & buying your books & stuff. it's just that sometimes i like it when the guests are allowed to share their thoughts with the audience.) ... blah, blah, blah... thanks, rich!

[@Herring1967]

I only answer the question myself if I sense the guest needs some time. But yeah, it's a conversation not an interview. My job is to judge when to be straight man, when to be funny, when to talk more or less. It will always be in response to the vibe from the guest. But they are always allowed to answer - sometimes they don't want to. Glad you enjoy the show!

[@karikells]

@@Herring1967 i'm addicted to it, rich! i found you while trying to find something interesting enough to get me off of true crime crapola. RHLSTP (rhlstp!) has been the ticket... wish i could fly over & see it live... maybe someday.

[@andrewmillertime]

Limmy and Herring, there's a couple of strange bedfellows.

[@imnotgoats]

I know what it means, I mean, what are you doing saying it?

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Yeah you just said that bruh

[@pointparasai_music]

Strange bedfellows? When did you ever say strange bedfellows?

[@Shiggiesmalls02]

Well you know there is a first time for everything

[@GavinHitchens]

Love Limmy! It's refreshing seeing an interview where the interviewer seems to really be a fan of his guest.

[@WaxWound]

Man, Limmy should start streaming again. I'd watch the hell out of that.

[@88omair]

Enjoying the Minecraft videos?

[@beuxjmusic]

When this came on through the Autoplay and I heard Herring mention Limmy, I actually had a welling of excitement in my chest like a kid on Christmas morning xD

[@lnfreeman]

Limmy's immediate choice of his girlfriend for the front of the centipede was pretty damn romantic if you think about it

[@Gun_Metal_Grey]

ironic now that they are separated

[@Twistedhippy]

Pretty sure Limmy is a comic genius in the same class as spike Milligan.

[@moodini99]

Spike who?

[@FellowHuman137]

moodini99 aww come on man!

[@DogOfKrondor]

Not even in the same universe. Would say he is similar to Milligan in that he is quirky, surreal, very creative and just a bit mad.

[@mrtambourineman6107]

If he wasn't so 'kooky' more folk would like him. But yes he is funny for a Scottish weirdo

[@BrokenNoseMedia]

THE RETURN OF LIMMY, YAS!

[@mvolestrangler]

when he says "Raymond Carver" and turns to the audience for recognition.

[@danshaggy292]

It would be cool to see ‘Daft Wee Stories’ done in a ‘Jam’ style show. Wish some channel had the balls to go for it.

[@InfiniteRhombus]

that was limmys show

[@barneycraig6955]

For my taste Limmy is pretty much the perfect comedian.

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Bit too 'kooky' for most folk I'm afraid but funny for a Scottish weirdo #awoke

[@BrendanBlake42]

Limmy is so funny that he makes me physically sick.

You probably have cancer dude

[@tcritt]

black sick

[@GingerBeardMark]

Great Episode, Limmy is always good value. Have you considered having Rob Florence or Iain Connell on Richard?

[@MontyCantsin5]

Good shout!

[@neilyringworm]

GingerBeardMark would rather have Rab and Ryan McLeod

[@linuspauling9290]

Limmy is always great. Thanks for the podcast

[@affalaffaa]

Bought 'That's your lot' pre-order and read, good but not for people that like uplifting, heartwarming tales. On Skye couple of weeks ago, picked up 'Daft wee tales' from a brick-a-brac type place in Harrapool. £2 and in good as new condition, chuffed as. Woman selling could have charged a fiver and I'd still might have gone for it. Walked out the shop tall as one of the Cullins, only one winner there. Not read yet but I'll keep everyone posted so don't let that bother you. I like Limmy's delivery of comedy, it's beats are his own.

[@kenrussellspulse]

Manspreading Tip- Simply ask man to not press his leg against yours (it's already a bit weird- so nothing to lose) He will apologise and tell you he's moving to another seat anyway

[@rippedtorn2310]

nah get him grassed up man .

[@liamhughes1532]

Stripey t-shirt intro!!! good style Richard, I only come for the style

[@j1l9f9k0]

Best guest, best RHLSTP

[@josephcostello837]

Get Gervais on. You're the only one brave enough to tell him how rubbish his output has been the past few years. You can also ask him why he never gives SM credit anymore. Do it!

[@affalaffaa]

Something about the word 'mong' will probably come inbetwixt that.

[@alanmeals]

gervais's ego would be the only thing stopping this happening. He's bigger than Rich. In his head.

[@scottinbristol]

@Alan Meals And also in the world

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Gervais's aragonce would prevent him going on anything that doesn't give out awards to other assholes!

[@russelledwards001]

He was brilliant in IT crowd so funny.

[@dickreckard5026]

Richard is right about light blue. The slum lord route is statistically the best strategy.

[@SamSergeant]

25:41 Just so I can hear the "shut it doon" story :)

[@kazwaz78]

It was very late at night so I had to watch this with the sound down, so I tried the subtitles. OMG. SO bad. They clearly couldn't understand Limmy's accent AT ALL lol

[@DogOfKrondor]

Limmy's Overwatch streams are hilarious when he trolls.

[@somaticjet2717]

Woohoo for not filming things properly! Yessssss. Homemade show!

Full English. No disrespect but I think you will find a full Scottish is a far better and filling breakfast.

[@matthewthomas1234567]

Is it the same as a full English. But everything is battered and deep fried?

[@banksdiggy]

Bollocks. Every “full” breakfast is the same shite with one or two different ingredients. The “filling” aspect depends on the portion and person. Off ye pop.

[@tsukiji_wasabi3722]

[@billiesrus]

Limmy seems like he's playing a character the whole time. You don't really find much out about him in this podcast because he's just trying to make the audience laugh.

[@billiesrus]

Andy Galloway ???

[@andygalloway3282]

Coming on stage, trying to make us laugh. Who does he think he is? A comedian or som... Oh wait

[@billiesrus]

Andy Galloway - Richard has commented on this himself, the best podcast guests are people who come on and don't just recite their stand up routines. I think it's more interesting in these podcasts to find out about the person themselves and this for me was a case where that didn't happen. Each to their own but there's plenty of other videos of Limmy on youtube if you just want to see his comedy.

[@andygalloway3282]

Yeah I know, I'm just a sarky cunt. I find this very sincere, obviously wee bits where he's in comedian mode, but on the whole very open. Have ye seen the first one?

[@billiesrus]

Andy Galloway Fair enough. Nope, I will probably get around to it eventually.

[@stu4843]

Never heard of Limmy and am deeply unimpressed, is he a comedian or just another professional foul mouthed Scot?

[@Herring1967]

Seen some bad and awful and wrong comments on youtube, but I think this is the absolutely most wrong post there has ever been. Congrats on calling this so badly. It's actually impressive.

[@howdj]

Limmy is not funny, I don't understand why people bang on about him so much.

[@josephburke8598]

howdj I met your sense of humour at a charity do once.

[@Twistedhippy]

Subjective I suppose. His timing gets me and his off center thinking. My mum detests Monty Python, I used to spend hours explaining why it was funny...she still doesn't like it!

[@gman6055]

howdj who do you consider to be funny? Michael MacIntyre?
