About me: I am a comedian and writer. In the 1990s I worked with Stewart Lee on such shows as "Fist of Fun" and "This Morning With Richard Not Judy". I wrote the Sky 1 series "Time Gentlemen Please" with Al Murray the Pub Landlord. I am currently working as a stand up comedian and appearing on such radio shows as "Banter" and "That Was Then, This Is Now". If you have satellite TV you can catch me interviewing poker players and poker playing celebrities on "Heads Up With Richard Herring". You can also hear me reviewing the newspapers on the Andrew Collings show on 6Music every Saturday at about 5pm(Click here for details or to listen again)

Who I'd like to meet: Rasputin, Sarah Silverman, Dave Eggers, the woman from the M&S adverts (not the blonde one, or the severe one, or Twiggy- I'm not sick - the other one), Jenny Agutter in 1976, Jesus.
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
I've looking through your stuff Rich, and noticed Headmasters Son has been recorded for DVD - but when/where is/will it/be available please? (Also, by any chance, was the TMWRNJ reunion recorded - except for the UTube thing? - as it was as good, if not better, than it was in the olden days. Thanks in anticipation of yet another non-reply.
I used to love Fist of Fun and This Morning with Richard not Judy, have they ever been released on DVD and if not why not? Looking forward to seeing you at the fringe this year, I'm there too performing as a newbie, check out our myspace!
Richard Herring is a weatherman, is a weatherman, (Fist Of Fun) He tells us when the warm fronts are about, (GMWRNJ) He tells the god-damned truth about hurricanes, (stigmata sex) And those devilish cold-snaps that could just catch us out, (sperm-trout) One day he said it would be sunny, (Jesus bit that can't be mentioned) And that day it really was quite bright, (yoghurt) I wouldn't have actually called it sunny though, (that car number plate game thing) Because sunny usually means heat as well as light, (that fight you was crap at, at that place) And it wasn't hot - so that pissed me off a bit. I am now doubting your meteorological credentials Rich and think maybe you should keep to doing that comedy thing and bring out "The Headmaster's Son" on DVD.

Hi Richard. Please don't lose momentum on getting to number one on the iTunes podcast chart. Need to keep AC on edge. Twitter the arse off the campaign.
I hope this finds you in rude health? Keeno’s made a new film at last! But Beware, he was riddled and dosed up on Night Nurse. Deranged out of his mind!
