Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast with Phill Jupitus #91

[@MissFotini]

This podcast sounded like two mates shooting the breeze which I found very enjoyable. I have real affection for Jupitus and really can't understand his detractors. I would love to have been in the room at the time of recording for this one!

[@schnozz87]

2:10 "good luck with 2016, I think it's going to be a good year". That, Rich, is what's known as the commentator's curse...

[@228ss]

The fucker did it for 2020 too...it’ll be great he said 😂

[@RIXRADvidz]

I lack superlatives to express my joy for Mr. Jupitus!! and now Richard has the most wonderful reason to celebrate Christmas....Phoebe. Happy Christmas to all!!! and to all No HANGOVERS!!!!!!!

[@1interesting2]

Phill Jupitus is wildly underrated as a comedian.

[@akaNOCTURN]

*Overrated.

[@johnnyblaze2716]

Loved it! Thanks guys.

[@joewakeford]

Great job as usual Richard!

[@petehasplans]

I love this podcast.

[@weavehole]

I like it that the length of the Ben Goldacre one over there is 1:23:45.

[@rivak98]

watching this reminds how much I love Phil Jupitus, bring back the Buzzcocks

[@ReadyWhenYouAre]

It's coming back!

[@actionjaxon7570]

@@ReadyWhenYouAre is it?

[@greyareaRK1]

Heightened respect for Phil Jupitus.

[@Daijyobanai]

Jupitus has redeemed himself in my eyes, what a great episode of RHLSTP. He hasn't been a favourite of mine before but I find myself agreeing with most of of what he says and laughing at some of it. Thanks Richard.

[@andydunnock8114]

I saw the puma in Barnstaple in 1976, it belonged to a nutty guy who owned a butcher's shop on the Braunton Road, and it kept escaping.

[@stevenkelk496]

I missed the whole Buzzcocks thing so I didn't really know Phil Jupitus well as a comic. But this was great fun!!! "Monkey" :-))

[@billallen2126]

it's wee richard in his 'technicolour dream gown' visions of..nevermind..dancing in his..etc..

[@T0mat0S0up]

2020, BBC still here.

[@gatchamonster]

Shouldn't Never Mind the Buzzcocks be Nevermind the Buzzcocks, then, if it's named after the album Nevermind? Call the BBC!

[@Steve27775]

+Gatchaman UK His explanation was pure bollocks. The title was just a mistake, but he can't admit it.

[@LoneKharnivore]

There's a great episode of Venture Bros about the Six Million Dollar Man and his sasquatch lover.

[@GoffreyGasholder]

Thank you Richard Herring for continuing to churn these brilliant podcasts out, always entertaining. Will finally make it down to one in June. Had tickets for the Eddie Izzard podcast but was too cunted to attend from the night before, oops.....

[@susanbudd1470]

Just bought a ticket to see you in Winchester in April. I have no clue who you are but I think I should know who you are, I know your voice so I have heard you before definitely, so I thought the best way would be to go and see your show and see if I can remember where I know you from. You have also done a podcast with Luisa Omielan and I love her, so I shall now pop off and have a gander. I shall now work my way through all of these excellent podcasts over my Christmas break.

[@actionjaxon7570]

Who is he?

[@zufgh]

Should complete the original Buzzcocks line up and try and get Lamarr on. He's not doing much anymore, so he should have the time heh.

[@cruiserscreek]

I'm sure he's doing lots but i agree i would love to see Lamarr back in any form.

[@disuye]

@58:00 - watching this in 2020, Phil forecasts the demise of the BBC 'in about 4 years' and he's right ... hollowed out from the inside. Great interview Richard, Phil is a diamond.

[@philmus1]

Gert Frobe, who also played Goldfinger. Frobe spoke no English so in both roles he was dubbed over

[@speedrob]

Great podcast... Do you ever plan on getting Ade Edmondson on that chair?, That would be a great listen/watch.

[@Herring1967]

+Num47 nearly got ade, but for the moment it's a no. Hopefully he will change his mind. Big fan obvs

[@speedrob]

Fingers crossed then, still a great line-up so far... and while I am here, Have a good holiday.

[@atharkausar8563]

+Richard Herring when booking a guest do you need their phone number? cause i sincerely hope your get Ades?

[@sherrifftucker1]

Is there any chance of luring Pete Baynham away from his Californian idyll and into a RHLSTP, what with that new film of his coming out next year? I'd love to see that... Really enjoying the series, but sad that some people now have a better RHLSTP mug than me.

[@LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

A good episode. Phil was in fine form.

[@KrzysztofSonka]

Loved this one :)

[@arnold-hu4vk]

Nevermind, the Nirvana album, is one word, so the explanation for the name 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

[@DogOfKrondor]

Only if you don't think about it.

[@dominiccyr2880]

Commenting in 2020 to 2015 Phill that Rick Astley fronting The Clash wouldn't be as bad as he thinks. Have you heard Rick sing rock music?

[@essentialatom]

41:56 The elusive comedy Googlewhack

[@NickSheridanVids]

The Johnny Vegas thing also happened to Ricky Gervais.. do some members of the public have fat people racism, and think they all look alike? ;)

[@TheMJNicholls]

Terrific bloke.

[@yoshy321]

Come to Australia Richard?!

[@CAMZAB]

Another good one. Wish he had mentioned when Huey from Fun Lovin' Criminals smashed a cup very near his face during the Buzzcocks section.

[@ozanyoung2909]

His Johnny Vegas is fucking dead on. XD

[@Guava_noise]

will you interview joe cornish?

[@bonnie43uk]

Am i the only one who's itching to see you interview Richard Bacon? ..i heard you mention you were due to have him on your podcast. I still miss his 5Live 2-4pm radio show. I can't stomach his replacement Phil Williams.

[@Herring1967]

+bonnie43uk it's the last one of the series. Out in about 9 weeks.

[@cruiserscreek]

Yeah i miss his late night 10-1am i think it was that he did to begin with, it was perfect.

[@rem299]

your the only one. the boring mans bore.

[@bonnie43uk]

rem299 One mans meat is another man's poison my friend :-)

[@cruiserscreek]

bonnie43uk i miss his 10pm onwards show he used to do

[@LeeLmd]

2016 is going to be a good year...

[@bidvision]

I've been watching and loving these videos. I've got to say, though, that a lot of the guests keep referring to "the north" like it's another planet. I know this happened live in London, but come on.

[@kaksikymmenta3]

Fennoscandia is going down too.

[@rienpost3145]

I so wish he'd do more stand up.

[@Crissy_the_wonder]

Good podcast, but don't listen with headphones whilst walking home like I was, Phil shouting in my ears

[@element4studios]

What did Phil have in his jacket pocket?!? The world must know!!

[@neilbiggin]

His phone.

[@HucksGamingchannel]

Always liked Phil.

[@johnmcfarland2055]

I like Phil Jupitus but with distance camera shots, I thought he looked like Rolph Harris. Weird.

[@djcloutier3576]

When is Phil coming to BC. Lots of bears to see and you don't need to go to far in to the bush

[@cdname47]

I never realised there was title controversy with ne remind the buzz cocks. for me it seemed obvious they were using the title of the band "buzzcocks" as a censor for the title of the album "never mind the bollocks" I've never understood bands who get precocious about having "the/not the" in their title anyway. it's like those people who shout at you for saying "it's not THE titanic, it's just titanic!" like anyone gives a shit

[@evanhadkins5532]

Neal Postman. Amusing Ourselves to Death.

[@garyrigby21]

Say Phil be Phil! ha ha

[@kallumnolan582]

Mike Bassett - England Manager is fantastic. Don’t diss.

[@bubble992]

Awh, Squeeze. Squeeze are good. (As is Phil Jupitus)

[@affalaffaa]

Shame about Buzzcocks. Loved the anecdotes about Tourette and Jedward, remember the episodes well. Also some organizations are standing up for the BBC...

[@JonGem1001]

Phil Jupitus should have his own panel quiz called Quite Funny.

[@mattw.keating7019]

Oh fuck, first comment and I can't think of anything good. My life has been leading up to this moment and I've dropped the ball.

[@CAMZAB]

+M.W. Keating Obviously you dropped the ball as your comment has been edited.

[@WinnerWinnerEmmaDinner]

Frankie Boyle blocked me on Twitter as well so don't take it personally. I asked him why he felt the need to slag off his audience members on Tramadol Nights. It was ridiculous what he was saying to these people who'd taken the trouble to come and see him live.

[@DogOfKrondor]

SJW activated!

[@abegarfield7031]

If you don't want the piss ripped out of you, don't sit in the front row of a comedy gig. What would you expect?

[@HucksGamingchannel]

Worth a pound, eh?

[@lilacmaninapurpleworld538]

Phill Jupiter.................

[@Spankabuttux]

If ever a comedian owed his career to favours and goodwill it's Phill Jupitus. I can picture the early days, he loves the scene in Edinburgh but isn't talented enough to create a funny 20 minutes so thinks "I know! Performance poet! That is vague enough so people don't realise I'm winging it!" Everyone involved in NMTB left for moral/professional reasons except him. He says the trick is not trying too hard- no mate, try harder; on 8 out of ten cats does countdown all the guests in Dictionary Corner gave us great stuff that they'd taken time over. Not Jupitus, 'just read out some shit, who cares'. Start giving a shit. Every time he's on QI his act is 'lean back and pretend to smoke a pipe while being sarcastic'. He needs to understand how lucky he is.

[@Spankabuttux]

+Spankabuttux That seems so bitter, so I think I need to say I am not some disgruntled resentful comic, I'm just a bloke. Sat here. Resenting that twat sat there. Bastard!x

[@AnonEyeMouse]

+Spankabuttux But... He is funny. He is funnier in chorus with other folk, because his process needs to be fed. Much like him. But even on his own he's worth the ticket fee. Doubly so at half price.

[@Spankabuttux]

+AnonEyeMouse I have friends I'd rather watch.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

+Spankabuttux we all have friends we'd rather watch than Phil, but that's how they stop being friends and you start being 'the defendant'.

[@Nabend1402]

+AnonEyeMouse I partly disagree, he's a very funny stand-up, does not need people around him. His bit on Live at the Apollo about his daughter having her boyfriend spend the night ranks fairly high on my list of favourite stand-up bits. Really well acted, believable and full of great lines. His DVD, while fairly old, is also pretty good. I genuinely don't know why he inspires such bile against him. He's not even on telly much, doesn't do any reality tv or ITV2, 3, 4 shit. The most offensive thing about him is his dress sense...

[@Jefffdale]

Phil is not funny, he is insufferable.

[@sratus]

+Jeff Dale I'd agree with that. He's one of those comedians who has just slipped through the net and has managed to be on tv forever without actually being very funny.

[@Jefffdale]

+sratus he was alright at playing that nodding dog in those car insurance adverts. But even then Vic Reeves had to rescue it by replacing Phils mediocre, mind numbing dribbling dialogue.

[@chris-bq9ky]

+Jeff Dale No you are wrong, he is funny and its not a subjective thing, he is funny, I am right and you are definitely wrong. This has nothing whatsoever to do with personal taste.

[@Jefffdale]

+chris taylor ok

[@domminney]

The Phill Jupitus is very funny, i'm not though, never mind.
