<p><strong>RHLSTP #597 - University of Bee-Keeping - </strong>Richard is back at the Podcast Room where he is chatting with one-liner king, Mark Simmons. They discuss the difficulties of producing a good succinct joke, how rarely Richard manages it, how the language used can serve as a hidden copyright sign in the DNA of the thing and what can be done if someone nicks a good one to make into a greetings card. Plus the perils of being the support act for a sore-throated Seann Walsh, whether the man at Pret fancied or pitied Richard, living with a poltergeist and the importance of giving your audience something to laugh at. Plus why it’s fun to punctuate one-liners with patience testing nonsense.&nbsp;</p><br><p>See Mark on tour - <a href="https://marksimmons.co.uk/live-dates/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://marksimmons.co.uk/live-dates/</a></p><p>See RHLSTP live -&nbsp;<a href="http://richardherring.com/rhlstp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://richardherring.com/rhlstp</a></p><br><p><strong>SUPPORT THE SHOW!</strong></p><p><strong>See details of the </strong><a href="https://richardherring.com/gigs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RHLSTP LIVE DATES </a></p><p><strong>Watch our </strong><a href="https://twitch.tv/rkherring" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TWITCH CHANNEL</a></p><p><strong>Become a badger and see extra content&nbsp;at our </strong><a href="https://rhlstp.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WEBSITE </a></p><p><strong>Buy DVDs and books from </strong><a href="https://gofasterstripe.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GO FASTER STRIPE</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
