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?

What is Love, Anyway?
Originally performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011

Does anybody love anybody anyway? So asked insane, Welsh, poet philosopher Howard Jones in 1983. Finally someone dares to answer. Having sorted out religion (Christ on a Bike), politics (Hitler Moustache) and penises (Talking Cock), the star of the award winning podcast “As It Occurs To Me” and Radio 4’s “Richard Herring’s Objective” seeks to define and destroy love. Before love destroys him. Again. Does Richard’s dry-cleaner genuinely love him? How could a romantic gesture involving Ferrero Rochers get dangerously out of control? Herring’s twentieth Fringe.
