Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - with Vic Reeves

Hitchhiking with Rose and Fred
Last week’s jokes about the consequences of Brexit seem to have fallen on stony ground with the revelation that the pro-Remain audience has been executed by Farage’s goons, but the show must go on, even if some of the audience were foolish enough to give up their tickets to watch the football (ha!), so they missed the force of nature that is Vic Reeves.
There’s a danger the whole podcast might just be a chat about Britain’s best and worst tourist attractions, but luckily things move on to Luis Bunuel, where comedy meets art, what a baboon sounds like when it ejaculates, whether Sue Lawley liked Vic and a potential return of the Big Night Out! Also Terry Scott lookalikes, ghostly orbs, eating humous and the Moir family history. Plus what it’s like to be a magnet for serial killers. And you can find out what the score of the England/Iceland game was at half time too. It was 1-2.

I've been listening to too many of these and now my inner monologue is in Richard Herring's voice. Damn you Richard Herring! (but thanks for the free entertainment)

[@Doctor_Smith]

Badly wanna know what the Sue Lawley story was.

[@Retrobeemer]

Really enjoyed that. Thank you Rich'.

[@whatabouteddieband]

Get Mark Lemar on!

[@ricjuk]

I find it weird that both Vic and Bob seem to have chosen to forget that the Chris Palmer character began in 'Bang Bang It's Reeves & Mortimer' and didn't suddenly appear in Catterick.

[@kennyball3956]

bob mentions this in his interview with richard 12 months before this

[@butsutekkai1]

Ah, no way! The barometer museum! I was only re-watching Fist of Fun last week!

[@DogOfKrondor]

This was a great interview. obviously a lot of people below haven't seen him interviewed before.

[@deflumped]

Is there any chance of getting Jerry Sadowitz on one of these, or does he never do interviews?

[@geoffrundel3343]

Iv GT a lot of catch up to do I need more of Vic Bob great stuff

[@thebolsta]

First Blood would have been a totally different movie with Vic Reeves playing the lead.

[@cgdimension]

talking pictures is a great channel, its got the original Outer Limits show now

[@TwoOnions275]

Hummus + spoon = heaven.

[@IMO1964]

I think that would be an interview that would go down as legendary

[@brianm2881]

"TIMMMMMBERRRRRRRRRRR-ton!" Haha, yes, I can just imagine a Tim Burton lookalike being revealed, wearing a comically undersized hat.

[@hanumaniam]

Colchester is lovely

[@sfshinz]

I would love to hear Morgana’s Virgin Atlantic safety monologue: I wonder she slipped in a little Cheryl Cole or Natalie Cassidy.

[@Dsnipez18]

you might call it the Richard herring Leicester square theatre podcasts but I saw some kids playing Pokemon go that referred to it as RHLSTP

[@Herring1967]

you've come very close to predicting the cool kid moniker for the last ep of the series. But mine is still better

[@nirvanasanctuary7691]

YES! (*fistpump*) Really glad to hear the BBC have asked Vic & Bob to do some new stuff. Might consider buying a tv & licence for that

[@affalaffaa]

Paul Kaye please. Legend.

[@joshyland]

Stockport Hat Works is worth visiting, and is only minutes from the rail station.

[@mwright3471]

I used to live round the corner from the lawnmower museum

[@leepeters9282]

Have you been to the pencil museum

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Get Bob back on

[@bhew7409]

Rich, may the Sue Lawley story be the "fuck me til I fart" thing? :p

[@james19876]

I've heard that too...the Eye printed it back in the early 90's, so I am not sure if it would still be under legal...

[@maba7772]

Please get anyone called David Essex on.

[@katiemitchell178]

There's a Vacuum Cleaner Museum in Heanor in a room above a shop

[@demetrikatsidis6776]

Rich mentions none of his guests have died - obvs this predates the passing of the great Sean Hughes. Is there any other guests who are now partaking in the podcast in the sky? (Godcast?)

[@9313James]

Stockport Hat Museum is great

[@skilletborne]

A man as funny as Vic Reeves loves Cori with celery and hummus? It's like being told Salvador Dali had his whole house painted beige, or that Heston Blumenthal's favourite drink is coke

[@owencampbell8799]

Vic is pissed.

[@IMO1964]

you should get tom baker on he is a real character and incredibly witty man and that would boost ratings trust me everyone wants to hear from tom baker

[@Videowatcher1997d]

Would there be any chance of getting Karl Pilkington (from The Ricky Gervais Show podcasts, An Idiot Abroad television show, The Moaning Of Life television show, etc, etc) on your podcast? I think his answers to the emergency questions would be amazing!

[@goffzegoff5708]

Spandeu ballet laughing at an orphan who's fallen off his bike

[@RFC3514]

Jim and Adam Savage are slowly morphing into each other.

[@eightyEightism]

Aww Vic man, yer had too many broons and as a result it's all a bit awkward. There's an ace interview waiting to happen with Jim/Vic, daft anecdotes and all, but this was a bit of a shame.

[@callumcreaney5646]

Can you please get Jon Richardson, Alexander Armstrong, Simon Mayo, Julia Sutherland, Mel Gedroykdbzhdien, Connie Huq, Victoria Coren Mitchell (round 2) and Billy Connelly on, then I will buy a badge. I want to come see your Glasgow show so I may buy a badge anyway.

[@ciarant5563]

There's a weird uncomfortable tension between these two

[@Meddled]

It's like Richard is trying to get weird and whacky material out of Vic while Vic is tired, half cut and not in a showbiz or creative mood at all.

[@davidrobinson2776]

The second interview is better I think. Jim/Vic is very shy apparently and I think he likes a couple of drinks to loosen up. In the second interview he is very loose lol.

[@dessertstorm7476]

richard I feel this would be more funny if you went into a shouting rant without microphone once per episode and made everyone feel uncomfortable.

[@Herring1967]

do i not do that already?

[@danshaggy292]

+Richard Herring I think he's suggesting that you channel your inner Stewart Lee

[@dr.zacking2097]

Yes it is - has been for years, SL story

[@andydunnock8114]

My "Barometer World" leaflet dates back to around 1990. No mention of the parking capacity, sorry.

[@sad_spice65]

release the sue lawley story on reddit lmao

[@sarahc561]

My dad watches all those dreary films then when I did Media A level we had to study them, I quit it that month, Loneliness of the Long distance runner was it for me.

[@DogsBAwesome]

I quite liked Independence Day resurgence in a brain-dead sort of way.

[@euanmitchell6879]

Any chance of the Trailer Park Boys the next time they are in the UK?

[@affalaffaa]

Good shout. Mind you if they're going to stay in character might as well just watch Snoop Doggs channel

[@stewartfinegan3863]

Mick Box and Lee Kerslake.

[@dom246]

YESSSSSSS

[@straightdave29]

Vic reeves is a legend. Do you use the magpie method of choosing guest gender? If its 4 magpies next time can you get Harry Hill. I only saw one interview with him and he seemed really grumpy. Wivenhoe is in Essex and it's lovely.

[@madderhat5852]

35:00 I honestly want to die in a silly (but instant) way. Like an anvil falling on a piano falling on a safe falling on me.

[@gezblair]

Seems quite pissed to me. Long day?

[@mskaleidoscope1]

It turns out I am not the only weirdo who enjoys dropping unnecessary Prog Rock references nobody else understands!

[@Dinckelburg]

Hello, my cheeky scrubs!

[@idio-syncrasy]

Eggs from chicken cloacas.

[@WhiteSleevedStu]

Richard did so well here.

[@simonrussell3958]

does Vic know Keith Emerson died this year?

[@speedrob]

Great stuff, quite sad I didn't get to hear any terrorist atrocity ideas from Vic... I thought of a good one myself, use this new Pokemon trend... drop a lure to attract crowds of people in various places to catch pokemon then just simply blow'em up :-P

[@loyddisaac1280]

why only frozen peas ? you ask, why chunks of carrots and sweet corn poo.I say....

[@MM-dq2pi]

My favourite food is hummus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MM-dq2pi]

I ALSO LOVE PEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelritchie2968]

WHAT SORT OF CHEESE IS THAT?

[@adamz3518]

Morgana is hot as hell.

[@alpine_newt]

You thought there had already been lots of celebrity deaths back in July?! What do you think now?

[@leepeters9282]

I'm opening up the Jimmy savile museum and the Mexicans are going to pay for it .

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Larry David please

[@themadplotter]

'Ginger rogers wiz ere'

[@RIXRADvidz]

Vic Reeves has been on my YT feed lately, someone up'd Shooting Stars, so I've already been basking in the glow of that double supernova, and then with Stephen Fry on Q I , and on NMTB...so 'suddenly' having him pop up here....gonna have to go with Richard on this one....'don't die' ....either of you. Children are inherently dangerous, not only to others around them but to themselves later as teenagers seem to think they're invincible. Stay Strong Father of Girl Child, there are many more trials and tribulations to come. a finger in the eye only hurt for a few days. wait until she breaks your heart, forever. it's a 'kid' thing.

[@simitchell]

i said Daryl (from the walking dead!!!!!) Hello internet fame!!!!!! (about the 40 min mark)

[@psammiad]

Bit of an odd interview but I bet he's hard to interview.

[@psammiad]

Yes most of them, I was comparing it with Rich's other interviews.

[@LuciusNekromanteion]

It`s a small world! I was taught butchery by the same instructor that taught Dennis Nilsen.

[@patricia629]

So did you friend two eggs?

[@NickSheridanVids]

Ahh, Richard's continuing intentional abuse of YouGov stats. I love/hate it ;)

[@krankenhosen]

NickSheridanVids

[@crashfistfight8234]

"Gas" hahaa 👍🏻🍺😜🐾☯️👽👻💙🇬🇧

[@billallen2126]

37:58 the story goes.. surreal lawley said, "fact me 'til i fart.".

[@brantub]

pod cast

[@sratus]

Old Vic is an odd fish, god bless him. Don't think he's suited to the interview setup. He's also a comedy genius.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

he is much more suited to sitting in a shed with his tool kit. Bob however is great at such things.

[@joeloxig6872]

vic is jacked up on pain pills

[@Neontrifle]

Despite his brilliance Vic Reeves is a poor interviewee. He appears drunk.

[@MrGBS1972]

Yay! I'm the 100th person to comment :)

[@tcritt]

Did anyone else feel really uncomfortable watching this?

[@mondoprime]

Completely. I love Vic, but he's an odd one in interviews.

[@gazriley624]

vic reeves is a bit odd i don't find him funny but every now and then he will say something hilarious

[@fnutboy]

Fucking hell you earnt your money on that one Richard, RHGBOOAS "Richard Herring Gets Blood out of a Stone".

[@DanielLecoqRooster]

Damn, this podcast never used to omit anything, it's really gone to shit

[@gerrabath]

Don't ya just love it when northerners try to disguise their accent and fail miserably. ;-)
