Richard Herring and Robin Ince: Edinburgh Fringe previews

Laugh Out London is proud to present Edinburgh Fringe previews from two Edinburgh Fringe legends: King of British podcasting Richard Herring and The Infinite Monkey Cage’s Robin Ince.

Richard Herring

Lord of the Dance Settee

After covering weighty issues like death, love, religion and spam javelins, ‘The King of Edinburgh’ (List) is in a frivolous mood with this show about daftness, whether the term cool comedian is an oxymoron, bouncing joyously on the sofa and how Herring’s whole career is a failed attempt to top a piece of visual slapstick comedy he came up with at 16. Can he revisit the joke thirty years on or will it smash his old bones? ‘Dependably funny’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘A new Richard Herring show is a never-ending cause for delight’ (List).

Robin Ince

Blooming Buzzing Confusion

Most of your brain doesn’t know you exist; let’s find out how conscious we really are. Having investigated particle physics and evolutionary biology, the host of BBC Radio 4’s Infinite Monkey Cage’s new stand-up show goes into the matter that led to it all, the human brain. Best known as a science populariser, and winner of three Chortle awards, Time Out Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, and Gold and Silver Sony awards promises a dissection of what makes you… probably. Warning: may cause existential angst and curiosity. Mysterians welcome.
