Richard Herring

Richard Keith Herring, born on 12 July 1967, is an English stand-up comedian and writer known for his influential contributions to modern British comedy. His early work includes the comedy double act Lee and Herring, performed alongside Stewart Lee. During this period, Herring also wrote four plays. After the duo parted ways, he co-wrote the sitcom Time Gentlemen Please but soon returned to performance with solo, concept-driven shows such as Talking Cock, Hitler Moustache, and Christ on a Bike. Since 2001, he has created fourteen stand-up shows, performing annually at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 2004 to 2014 and touring regularly. A highlight of his performances was a final show recorded for DVD. His 2016–17 'best of' show drew from his previous works. Herring is regarded as a pioneer of comedy podcasting, initially co-hosting The Collings and Herring Podcast with Andrew Collins. He later collaborated with prominent comedians and celebrities including Dawn French, Michael Palin, and Stephen Fry on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast. Since 2002, he has maintained a daily blog called Warming Up, which has been archived by the British Library for its cultural significance. As of September 2024, he began publishing the blog and other material on Substack, where he has over 10,000 subscribers.
