Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - Katherine Ryan

Pissing in a Money Tin
A new series of RHLSTP and Richard has a whole raft of new emergency questions, to the consternation of his audience who just want to hear the old ones.
Predictably he is a bit obsessed with Tory MPs sending pictures of their winkies to pretend women, but less predictably concerned that the Tory party might be made up of actual penises.
His first guest comes from Sarnia, the no-nonsense, no-holds-barred Katherine Ryan. There's some interesting conspiracy theories revolving around Beyonce, what it's like to work in Hooters, the dirty protests at a Crouch End Primary School, the stupidity of American tourists using their children as bear-bait and as she's from Canada so she's got to have seen a BigFoot, right?

I'm very happy that after this was filmed, Kevin Rowland and Dexys made a fantastic comeback.

[@BRobMorris]

Herring is awesome

[@spanglegranny]

You're back! Hurrah! This is easily the best chat show around. I kid you not. Willfully obscure and occasionally annoying but never, never dull. Cheers to Chris for all the hard work, and to Richard for the 3 minutes of research on Wikipedia. I shall pop some shekels in yer tin.

[@davecollins6365]

This is a great one.

[@TheDwarfShortage]

In the same newspaper Q&A where Rich asked Richard Pryor "Where do you get your crazy ideas from?" Jason Byrne asked him "Do you think you could beat Muhammad Ali in a fight now that the both of you shake like maracas?"....Jesus Christ

[@GoodWoIf]

Think this my favourite RHLSTP, maybe with the exception of the first David Mitchell one. Ryan is great.

[@emdiar6588]

I really like Katherine and I'm not one of those idiots who feels their masculinity is undermined by conceding that a woman can make me laugh. They can, and frequently do, Katherine definitely included. I am not being a "white knight" feminist here btw, before the snarly men's-lib idiots reach for their sperm stained keyboards. Katherine is also one hot piece of ass (hope that satisfies you).

[@elisabethsullivan227]

MTW does not do this woman justice. She's hilarious!

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

Oh cool, she does the same thing I do when EastEnders comes on. She is coool.

[@richardthomas8371]

The fact that this video is being released on Chris' channel really shows how much Richard wants this show to remain obscure. I love it! ; )

[@TheStevenWhiting]

No it's because most of the video versions are paid for so I don't know why his comment says they are free as they aren't. I bought series 4 and 5. Don't know why this isn't on something like BBC 2 or Channel 4 as a different style chat show as they are good to watch. So it stays on the stage where it's filmed now but actually gets broadcast on TV.

[@demark8262]

Steven Whiting they are indeed free now

[@ImNotGregGraffin]

I bloody love Katherine Ryan! I think she's a fantastic stand-up, and seems like a really nice person. However, I think the part about her not caring what people think is a complete lie. Looking at her Twitter account, she seems very thin-skinned and defensive at anyone who seems to say anything that may cause the mildest offence. I once saw someone stand up for her on Twitter, and she had a go at him because, I presume, she took it as an insult. Again, I really do like her, and I don't think she's a bad person or anything, I just think she takes offence at really weird things, and tends to lash out at people who probably weren't intending to be malicious in the first place. I think she really does care about negative attention more than she lets on.

[@ReverendParasite]

Don't quote me but I think it's a fairly common complaint among prominent and attractive women to be hypersensitive to negative attention. Not for any other reason than the sheer amount of unwanted attention that comes their way.

[@SilentMover95]

This woman has seen some shit. She is really attractive and kinda famous but managed to stay single for so long. Maybe it is because of her daughter, maybe she has been through a really tough divorce.

[@benjoenjozero17]

She's frickin hilarious this one is awesome

[@eliotmccann2589]

Go to 9:50 for the guest, and to avoid having your time wasted.

[@meu02136]

Eliot McCann But that's like saying "Stop wasting time playing video games so that we can go the cinema".

[@eliotmccann2589]

+meu02136 Precisely.

[@alexsugden2734]

Eliot McCann rude

[@TimHoekstra]

Thanks for the great work and the upload chris! Any idea when the HD version of RHMOL #4 will be available on gofasterstripe?

[@illiteratethug3305]

Her daughter's joke is better than anything I've ever heard on Mock the Week or Live at the Apollo

[@daisyhilliard3246]

[@paulburton8155]

For god sake Richard - There is no such thing as "A Shrek"! Shrek is the name of an Ogre, not a species... that's like calling all fish "A Nemo".

[@BRobMorris]

yeah but it's like saying a John instead of John Travolta. It makes perfect sense

[@paulburton8155]

BRobMorris How is it like that? Shrek is the first name (presumably only name) of the Ogre named Shrek. He is not "A Shrek", nor is he "The Shrek". Fiona isn't "A Shrek", nor are Brogan or Cookie (Shrek 4)... they are Ogres. John Travolta is a John, but not all people who look like John Travolta are Johns... or "A John". It is possible that there are more than one fictitious Ogre named Shrek.

[@BRobMorris]

TWF Solutions i'm a Billy because my name is Billy. I'm not Billy Eliot who if someone said The Billy people are more likely to think of

[@paulburton8155]

BRobMorris But if I looked like you, am I a Billy?

[@paulburton8155]

TWF Solutions Anyway - the correct answer to my first statement should have been "There's no such thing as a Fish"... this country!

[@gazriley624]

shes gorgeous

[@1camerooon1]

comedy starts at around the 9:50 mark

[@MuppetV23]

+Cameron Gregg Funny that....

[@dionysiaex5538]

Not funny.

[@dionysiaex5538]

@Abe Garfield So let's get this straight, Abe. An unknown random person states that a thing they saw did not make them laugh which, all things considered, seems reasonable enough ,and you take this to be a reason to attack the person concerned for the crime of stating that they did not find said thing funny? This is why the world is dogshit, Abe. Because people like you can't leave people to their own inconsequential opinions.

[@SennaAugustus]

@@dionysiaex5538 No, the problem is people like you thinking you have to air that opinion in the first place because of "free speech".

[@dionysiaex5538]

@@SennaAugustus I don't have to. I choose to. But there are always pricks like you who won't resist taking the bait. Now that IS funny.

[@nympholepticmonkey352]

God I love Katherine so much! Really loved this episode:). Thanks a lot Richard, keep up the great work mate :).
