Richard Herring

Widely regarded as ‘The King of Edinburgh’ Richard has decided not to go to the Fringe this year; instead he’s taken the bold and very ambitious move of relearning and performing 12 of his critically acclaimed solo stand-up shows. What could possibly go wrong?

Talking C*** - The Second Coming
Originally performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002

It’s an object of shame and pride; it inspires laughter and fear; it’s a symbol of power, yet it’s incredibly fragile; it can be a pound of flesh or an ounce of winkles, it can be used to express both love and hate; it creates life, it can condemn us to death... and it can do wees as well.

How can one tiny flap of sponge and sinew be all these things? Richard Herring intends to find out in this tenth anniversary update of the critically acclaimed show that exposes the truth about men and their flutes of love.
