TSORH #12 - Anal Flute. We're nearly there and when I say we, I mean I. It's the last of the old shows in the Herring's Dozen, Lord of the Dance Settee, with a surprise guest and a big celebrity film star in the dressing room afterwards. Rich is feeling vaguely confident about this show as he only performed it a few weeks ago, but terrified about the new show tomorrow. There's a chance to hear the 'arse like that' routine that you may have missed as it got dropped from most tour shows, as well as the final chart of sales, plus George the incompetent sound man's controversial opinions on Robin Williams.

TSORH #11 - Wriggling and Wiggling and Copulating Inside Her. Somehow we've got through to show 10 of the run unscathed. Richard is nervous about another unexpectedly complex show, We're All Going To Die! Will this be where he stumbles and falls? Will he actually die on stage? Hear his pre and post match analysis, plus an airborne stage invasion at a weirdly apt time. Herring also looks forward to the last two remaining shows, Lord of the Dance Settee and the as yet, not entirely written, Happy Now?

LOTDS #11: Not Suitable For Minors? - The podcast takes us through the Lord of the Dance Settee gigs in late April and early May at Harlow, Bristol, Monmouth and Clevedon. Rich has started doing dad jokes and continues to try to find ways to end the first half. He explains why he isn't going to the Edinburgh Fringe this year and what he's doing instead - and reveals the title and subject matter of his brand new show. And with a 10 year old and a 12 year old in the audience of one show he is prompted to discuss whether it's acceptable for youngsters to come to see grown-up comedy. Still a few chances to see the show. Head to http://www.richardherring.com/lotds/tour for details of the last ten performances.

Lord of the Dance Settee #9: You Should Have a Pregnancy Test. The madness and packed houses of March are over and April sees a slight dip in numbers and in energy. Richard has to deal with a dodgy microphone in Bath and lampoons the Marquis of Bath's attempts to create art. He enjoys a combined Christmas and Easter with his folks in Cheddar (that's Phoebe as a reindeer in the pic), before celebrating his third wedding anniversary in a slightly spooky empty restaurant, then he's back on the road to the exciting locations of Andover and Newbury, before jetting over to Ireland. He sounds quite down in the backstage bits, but it's a tough part of the tour to get through and hopefully he was all tits and teeth on stage. You can find out about his remaining tour dates at http://www.richardherring.com/lotds/tour and book tickets to see his DVD record here - https://www.thebloomsbury.com/event/run/150514.

Lord of the Dance Settee #8 - Well Played Thing. The tour continues through Southend, Aldershot, Cambridge, Shoreham-BY-Sea and Cardiff. Experience Richard's nerves and doubts before a Southend gig where he fears the audience might be expecting Michael Flatley, his proof that the people of Cambridge are not as clever as the people of Oxford, and the genesis of his new show solely about Addams Family Pinball (which he is playing continuously throughout the tour). Also a return to Aldershot reminds him of a previous gig and the stellar success of one of the acts who crashed and burned alongside him that night, and some tragic deaths make him consider the ups and downs of fame. He also considers his place in the comedy firmament, recounting a story of the after party at a Jerry Seinfeld gig that made him understand that success is not all it's cracked up to be.

Lord of the Dance Settee #7 - The Circle of Life. The Lord of the Dance Settee tour continues, with Rich increasingly tired and missing his baby daughter. We join him coming through corridors and the kitchen to get to the gig in Chesterfield (or is it Cheltenham or Chippenham), and then see him reunited with his family in Norwich, where a special guest makes her first step up the showbiz ladder (to a much warmer reception than her father has managed) and then on to Birmingham where Rich teaches the audience a valuable lesson in comedy about why you must never eat popcorn before a performance. No filler in this week's podcast so it comes in at the 30 minute mark. Still quite a few chances left to see the show. Go to www.richardherring.com/lotds/tour for details.

Lord of the Dance Settee #6: Donald, Wherrrreez Mah Troozers. Richard is working his way through the busiest month of the tour and this podcast largely covers three gigs at three different Stand venues: Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow. He's obsessed with w-nking judges, rimming shower gel and rip-off soap and ad-libbing like crazy. But he also has to cope with painful loss and looking like Jeremy Clarkson and find a way out of being on stage with a mouthful of Haribo, even though he is 47. In Glasgow he also finds himself pitted against his erstwhile double act partner in a head to head contest to find out who is the most popular. Who will win? (SPOILER) Stewart Lee will.

Lord of the Dance Settee #5 - 27 Years Later. The Lord of the Dance Settee tour continues, with the busiest patch of 11 gigs in 12 days. Rich discusses a recent and a less recent trip to Buckingham Palace, returns to one of the first professional theatres that he ever played (in 1988) and meets the first man he ever gave his autograph to. There's also a whole now-excised routine from the show and Richard being heckled by a member of staff at Bristol Tobacco Factory. And more of his infamous backstage whistling - soon available on long-playing record. For full tour details (new shows added) head to www.richardherring.com/lotds/tour

Lord of the Dance Settee #4: Hold me closer Tony Danza. Recorded in his dressing room at the South Street Arts Centre in Reading, Richard muses more about the tour so far, tells a story of an inspirational flamenco dancer (that was in early versions of the show) and runs through the interesting events from last week's dates. Also, as he kind of forgot he was recording himself, you get an illuminating look at what life behind the scenes before the show is really like. Warning, it is quite dull and includes a lot of off key whistling. Come and be a part of the tour, and maybe the podcast, by booking to see one of his future shows - all details are here http://www.richardherring.com/lotds/tour

Lord of the Dance Settee #3: I'M MORTIFIED. A collection of a few of the outtakes and extra bits from the last four performances of Lord of the Dance Settee in which Richard travelled to Nottingham, Wolves, Salford and Chorley and had an eventful weekend. Get to hear a few regional variations to certain parts of the show, Richard being heckled about what method of payment he takes for his merch, doing a routine about Addams Family Pinball that only one person got, giving Operation Yewtree 2045 something to investigate in Salford and having the most extraordinary experience anyone has ever had in Chorley - getting a cake named after him and invented for him and then upsetting an audience member with one of his most innocuous routines. The recording quality on some of this is not great due to Richard doing it on a phone in his pocket, but hopefully it will improve in future. Audiophiles will be upset, but you disgust me.

Lord of the Dance Settee #2: 4 Leaf Clover. Rich keeps you up to date with how the tour is going so far (including a backstage report from Colchester Arts Centre where he was watched by statues to the war dead), as well as how fatherhood is affecting his comedy. He also takes a somewhat dry look at the themes behind the stand-up show and how he has hidden a reference from every decade of his life within the show. He tells a story connected to being kissed on the lips by his Great Aunty Eva, and find out if in turn he has managed to kiss his daughter every day of her life so far.

Lord of the Dance Settee #1: How I Broke A Caravan Window with a W*nk. In this first episode of a brand new podcast, Richard Herring not only tries to tackle his new garageband software (audiophiles may be disturbed by the echo on the mic), but tell you all about his latest tour show. Find out why he has abandoned an overarching theme, discover some of the subtle themes that permeate the show, hear stories of travelling back Goodnight Sweetheart-style to 1976 when he visited Loughborough, and catching ebola in Northampton (or actually the norovirus from Grub Smith). Richard describes how he had his heart broken by a cruel comment after attending his first ever disco in the late 70s and finally reveals the story of how he broke his first girlfriend's dad's caravan in 1984 (there's a clue in the title of the podcast). Find out where the tour has been and where it's going to next and, if your appetite has been whetted, then check out the ticket info at www.richardherring.com/lotds/tour

Frame 48 - This is What I Do When You're in the Park. The Mes make a snap decision to play a frame on the old green board while the house is empty, but little do they know who is going to drop by. In the first frame ever to feature another human being apart from any of the many Mes, you won't believe what happens next. It's the shortest podcast ever and there's some spectacular play, but who will come out of this all important 45th tussle between the pair (not including Chris Evans - not that one - trophies, or the frames with Me3). You will get to hear about the very different political views of the players as they both meet the person in the world that they fear the most and feel the shame of being observed for only the fourth ever time (two Chris Evans - not that one- trophies, and the Edinburgh frame). They do not like having their shame exposed. But it's the snooker that you're tuning in for and that's all up the usual standard.
