Richard Herring is a jealous prick

[@AbortedHitlerCock]

Nothing would make me happier than for these two men to spend the rest of their careers feigning the sabotage of everything the other one does.

[@dazmin100]

AbortedHitlerCock not a comedy fan then?

[@sfoster.23]

This is so nice to watch, they love each other really 😂 it’s like watching two brothers play fighting If you notice Stew is smiling the whole time ☺️

[@rabidbigdog]

Aren't they god-parents to each other's kids?

[@MaggotKing9]

I'm pretty sure they have now fallen out sadly

[@vikramtg1015]

Apparently Stewart Lee should NOT have let Richard Herring go....

[@emdiar6588]

Vikram Tg. Finally an original (variation on a) 'let himself go' joke .

[@samobrien815]

He plays up being jealous of Lee all the time on RHLSTP to great effect. Mostly in jest but there does seem to be a lingering nugget of actual jealousy which just makes it funnier in my opinion. You can see Stewart smirking through all of it he knows what's being done.

[@darkside9020]

And in AIOTM, AIOTM!

[@shokosugi561]

Lingering nugget anyone ?

[@B6kmd]

Sho Kosugi Think I left one of those floating in my toilet this morning.

[@bustedfender]

RHLSP!

[@weavehole]

One for the audiophiles.

[@iamjurell]

that was such an amazing gig. I spoke to richard herring while i was on my way to the gig, for some reason not thinking he might be aswell. then when i heard someone interupting stewart lee with "TELL A JOKE, TELL US A FUCKING JOKE" i thought "fantastic" people who missed this missed an absolute gem of a gig.

[@MillywiggZ]

Amazing, reminds me of the ‘Richard not Judy’ days.

[@gempoole2957]

I love lee and herring and it's a joke mate, a sketch they've obviously both written

[@VeggieGamer]

The camp run at the end makes this clip XD

[@DoctorBoosh]

I was actually at Richard Herring's 'Christ on a Bike' show that night, so I couldn't make it. Probably why Rich only did a cameo appearance.

[@magnex1878]

it was a skit thought up between the two of them

[@Tbass17]

If you listen to the C&H Podcasts from that year you will discover that Lee had in fact asked Herring to do this, so quit thinking it's real.

[@sfoster.23]

Would love to hear him talking about this, any idea which episode it was?

[@user-sf8di1dg1h]

Link please!!

[@BelatedCommiseration]

I suppose the ultimate irony as far as Stewert Lee goes is that now, finally, he is the same size as Richard Herring! Oh how the tables have turned! (;

[@branded45]

Cannon and Ball have let themselves go.

[@kly45]

At edinburgh I seen Christ on a bike, as it occurs to me, 1 collings and herring podcast, Stewart Lee's live show at the stand, and Kevin Eldon's show. I even got Stu to sign his book for me, but I MISSED this!!! I regret it so much! Especially after hearing Franz Ferdinand and Eldon did a version of "machadaynu"!!

[@joebrokenstrang3711]

Er, so you're not aware of the 'dynamic' Richard has created between them?

[@BooNube]

Richard Herring has turned into Meat Loaf, circa 1977!

[@CCSofChocolatesvill]

WHERE'S MY JELLYYYYY!!!!

[@92RedRevolver]

God rest the soul of the The Real Fake Rod Hull...

[@dazmin100]

All comedians are flawed this is what gives them their interesting and hopefully funny insights and material. Herring often plays on his jealousy of Stewart Lee.

[@VeggieGamer]

awesome! really wanted to see this after they talked about it on Collings and herrin! thanks for the upload!

[@TheAngryChav]

i was there at the side of the stage. greatest show i've ever been to

[@billallen2126]

or in his (edinborough fringe) podcasts, ad infinitum. it is probably the stuff that i love the most; when he takes a poke at stew; every time, it rips an insane sounding laugh out of me: and i look like an idiot wherever i happen to be (listening to my stupid little ipod). i could never choose which one is cooler (or more funny). i started liking stewart more; and have gradually realized richard's (bitter, jealous, priapic) genius. good job on catching this, mate.

[@kelpkelp5252]

You've heard of comedy presumably.

[@trevorfeelgood]

Stewart Wee is not a chameleon I like. I like layered comedy like Mrs.brown Boys.

[@lauraxsynthesis]

Thanks for uploading this :) I wish they'd organise proper video recordings of these sporadic little reunions they do.

[@danmcdaid]

Every time I decide Richard Herring is probably an arsehole I see something like this and realise all over again how ace he is. Damn it.

[@LordHighness]

No, he's definitely a complete and utter arsehole. Stop getting suckered in!

[@BelatedCommiseration]

@owenhunt Err....I meant in terms of body girth rather than in terms of stature, but I can see how the error may have come about...your expectations have been subverted and from hence, hopefully, the humour arose.

[@speak2tone]

Watch 'stewart lee, on not writing' you'll see him explain how everything is actually written and heavily constructed... That's why it seems so natural

[@forbush99]

I saw this it was a brilliant night. The next day I saw Richard Herring do a podcast wth Andrew Collins where he played the voice message of Stewart Lee asking him to do to storm the stage at this.

[@m1169199]

You weren't there, stop lying........ This is KZbin comments section ...... Who did you expect to be impressed?

[@cdname47]

The ironic thing looking back now is that richard is just as big a comedian as stew since he has his RHLSTP which probably gets the same amount of views+listens as some of the interesting slots the bbc put comedy vehicle now It's almost as if they're happy in their own careers and are still on friendly terms The public hate that, they need the sad clown thing and for one to be bitterly resent the other They saw it in a film about a double act once, now It must be true for every single real life double act, not just corden and horden. Aside: Lee is resentful of herring while letting himself go and wanting the moon on a stick. P.s. I'm wanking as I write this.

[@benwhite8924]

Revenge for Stew destroying the golden gamesmaster joystick.

[@feline1973]

This is definately a shop. I can tell from some of the pixels, and having seen many shops in my time

[@wow.tom.masters]

Seeing Richard in Brighton on 25th of Feb. Can't fucking wait!

[@Grammarlings-cf8yw]

"Eat your words!"

[@prowlergrig]

@iamjurell yep the gig was incredible. herring was sitting on the row in front of me, i saw him flicking through the book before the show started, it never occurred to me he'd do this :)

[@VeggieGamer]

I know sorry XD I was probably a lil drunk when I posted that comment. I was referring to a comment about a Lee standup that Collin's and Herring picked apart on a podcast that simply said "Stewart Lee should be banned for life!" with no context at all XD I am a big fan of both these guys :-)

[@shiftertron6143]

He is the Dave Mustaine to Stewart Lee's James Hetfield. I say that as a huge fan of 'Rust in Peace'.

[@TheRealAndrewJackson]

Maybe it's because I've heard Richard Herring confirm it was staged, but I'm not sure how anybody could've this was real. Still hilarious though

[@wordtouremother]

Anyone who's read the book realises that this is a good natured joke..

[@gymnosophy]

Cute; when we were two little boys

[@iggy35]

Richard and Stuart on stage together recently?? What was this from, and why didn't I know about it???

[@a34rwl]

Jesus has really let himself go

[@RealNameLap]

Richard has a very nice suit on.

[@CCSofChocolatesvill]

I AM ROD HULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nigelcarren]

Like two slightly overweight ants in a jam-jar hidden in the Daily Mail offices (though still with their own hair)... but who is going to shake the jar first... and would that be acceptable if that person had a regional accent? I don't know... I am not an optician.

[@SASR]

Brilliant! I would assume this title is ironic and the uploader indeed gets the joke...

[@wow.tom.masters]

Heard about this on the podcast. Awesome.

[@jonmortermusic]

Apparently Tony Rudd was on stage at this gig?

[@iggy35]

@chrisholland lol the joys of the school holidays

[@iggy35]

Wolves on the 12th of March

[@iggy35]

@chrisholland He does it to andrew collins about his stand up show too :P

[@FecklessFool]

Hopefully someone would be kind enough to upload something that includes the 'heckling'. Hilarious.

[@jdfugu]

To any Herring haters, this was a routine. Also what the fuck have any of you ever done?

[@RS-mj3pm]

I'm not a Herring hater, I like the man, but I have actually done nothing with my life so your statement applies to more than just folks with an irrational hatred for a man sincerely doing his best to make people laugh

[@Alaskanbrawl]

It’s a joke. Like they do on top gear.

[@iggy35]

@chrisholland FIFTEEN??? jeez,..I am behind!! Off to catch up now :)

[@kitt998]

morrisey's really let himself go

[@woofled4637]

They are friends - it was a joke they both organised in advance :)

[@steveforest8385]

Jesus has let himself go.

[@iamjurell]

@Sboy200 Hah, it was mr herring himself. He then proceeded to get up on stage, tear lee's book apart and throw it at him, then ran off stage. I think its on youtube actually.

[@billallen2126]

that's just mean, mine's is probably (a lot) worse. now i feels all self-conscious, damn!

[@GayRocker81]

Is that Steven Morriessy??

[@Degjoy]

so funny

[@ants84]

And nothing’s really changed since.

[@pages2]

@revtastic That would be cool! [Aside: it wouldn't, it would be shit!] ;)

[@prowlergrig]

@AKofC well sorry i wasn't quick enough ;) herring pretty much describes exactly what happened in his blog

[@FecklessFool]

@prowlergrig Yeah, that entry led me here actually. And thanks for the upload, but you need to learn to turn back time or something and be faster.

[@samtheman152009]

@moceanu Jesus Christ taped this? No wonder he got to see these two...

[@drewsmilitia]

@GayRocker81 A crumpled version thereof.

[@thejollycheezcompany]

aside , he shouldn't

[@moon-Ch1ld]

Whats the deal behind this lol?

[@prowlergrig]

@moceanu you mean awesome

[@maureenOWW]

@a34rwl Chris Rea has let himself go. Badly.

[@forgive7449]

this is this

[@hoppinonabronzeleg9477]

I disagree with the sentiment of the description of this video. Richard Herring is very proud of Stu's success, and is only play acting at being jealous. It is all an act, just acting out what others of an unkinder disposition might say. Really they are great buddies, otherwise why would they still share the same stage. Mind you Mark Lamarr's let himself go!

[@rbrb288]

Bellends

[@GEORGEISGOD1]

this was set up

[@owenhunt]

@BelatedCommiseration Huh? This clip was filmed from below and therefore lends a skewed perspective. On a level with Herring and Lee, you would see the latter is comfortably taller. But nice clip.

[@djwho1980]

Ha what kind of fucking fool doesn't realised this was a joke! Though i have to say Richards acting is surprisingly good haha

[@wow.tom.masters]

Seeing Richard in Brighton one 25th of Feb, can't fucking wait!
