<p><strong>#556 Not As Good As It Used To Be </strong>- Richard returns to Leicester and reveals the curt message of one of the comedians he asked on the podcast. His guests are two of the men behind the publishing sensation and hugely influential comedy juggernaut that is Viz magazine. They discuss the humble beginnings of this adult comic, how publishers tried and failed to sanitise it, working with Peter Cook on Tiger Mellie, the terrible imitators, who was the first person to say it wasn’t as good as it used to be (and when), plus Richard’s posh introduction to the work and his pride at being in the Profanisaurus. A great chat with two down to earth comedy geniuses who changed the landscape of British comedy.</p><br><p>Support our Kickstarter here <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/467836598/can-i-have-my-ball-back" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/467836598/can-i-have-my-ball-back</a></p><p>For Richard’s remaining live stand up gigs&nbsp;<a href="http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour</a></p><p>Come and see RHLSTP live&nbsp;<a href="http://richardherring.com/rhlstp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://richardherring.com/rhlstp</a></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>SUPPORT THE SHOW!</strong></p><p><strong>Watch our </strong><a href="https://twitch.tv/rkherring" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TWITCH CHANNEL</a></p><p><strong>See extra content&nbsp;at our </strong><a href="https://rhlstp.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WEBSITE</a></p> <p>Become a member at <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp">https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp</a>.</p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
