#361 Hair Length Apartheid - It's a New Year (for you, though Richard is just pretending) and Rich looks back on his weird and unsettling 2021, but definitely sees the positives in it all. Will this year be better than the last one or will the years just continue top get worse and worse until we all die? His guest is the king of the clowns and circuit legend, Chris Lynam, who you might know from his firework up the bum routine, but who has a whole lot more to him than that. They chat about what Chris remembers of the early alternative comedy scene, working with Ken Campbell on The Warp, Malcolm Hardee overestimating how easy it is to light fireworks in your buttocks, the Greatest Show on Legs, ErictheFred (check out some clips from this beautiful show here https://chrislynam.net/eric-the-fred/), what destroyed the spirit of alternative comedy (and Richard's part in that), who destroyed the rainforest of Zimbabwe and how Chris nearly became impaled on a bed of nails. Plus the times that his perilous appearing act actually spilled over into real danger, the heart and soul of the clown and how Chris has managed to maintain the same level of madness without actually turning any more mad. This is a cracker of a show and if you haven't heard of Chris you should definitely still listen. And do catch him live if you get the chance.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week I chat to the very talented Dominic Frisby, character comic, voice-over artist, actor, stand-up and author. Dominic started his career as an actor and voice over artist, then by chance graduating onto the comedy circuit by chance via his brother who knew Malcolm Hardee, a legendary London stand up of his day. Dominic achieved great success in the character comedy world as his many guises of The Upper Class Wrapper, Maurice the Morris Dancer, Ludvig the Bavarian and many more.  Frustrated by promoters attitudes towards character comedy, he moved into writing, an interest in finance and bitcoins yielded two books and a host of speaking engagements and writing for financial magazines.  But never leaving his passion for comedy, Dominic continues to delight and enthral audiences performing stand up and also compering his own one man show as part of the Edinburgh Festival 2018. A big thank you to Dominic for taking the time to come on the podcast!

RHLSTP #132: Simon Munnery - Don't Die. Richard quizzes his audience to find how little they have done with their lives, before introducing the comedian's comedian and avant garde comedy genius, Simon Munnery. In a frank interview Simon reveal the unwritten truth of Steve Coogan's 1992 Edinburgh Fringe hospital visit, how Mark Lamarr did the bravest thing ever witnessed on stage, how Simon met his wife as a voice in the darkness during a gig that was spiralling out of control, setting up a restaurant that doesn't serve food, and what it was like to play Malcolm Hardee's legendary Tunnel Club. There's a bit where he looks like he might try to punch Richard to the floor, but instead they settle the battle of the aged Alpha males in the most manly way possible. Munnery is the comedy god, but who is the strongest? It's a thrilling podcast in many ways, and some of it maybe better watched than listened to, but luckily you can do both.

After a disastrous attempt to record a podcast with Kate Copstick in Kenya, John Fleming (with raging toothache) talks to double Malcolm Hardee Award winning stand-up Becky Fury sitting on a freezing dockside bench outside the Wibbley Wobbley boat in Rotherhithe, a few feet from where Malcolm Hardee drowned in 2005. With the wind loudly hitting the microphone and a helicopter appearing overhead… What does a relative newbie think about the UK comedy industry? Has she sketched-out the 5-year plan promoter Hils Jago recommends comics should have? Why did a film-maker want to make a documentary about her? Is she going to have to polish turds and play the game? Why does she re-write William Blake poems? What IS success if you are a Buddhist comedian? And will she reach a satisfying climax? http://www.grouchyclub.co.uk You can also download this audio podcast from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/grouchy-clubs-mostly-about/id977279883 John Fleming posts occasional blogs at: http://blog.thejohnfleming.com

26 Mar 2012 Soan, Fleming  Our best show ever. Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead. The only radio show for Americans living in Nunhead. Accept no imitations. Co-hostedby lovely Lisa Moyle, from East Dulwich and somewhere near Peekskill, New York. He is joined by the man who no one knows what he does - John Fleming. Promoter of the Malcolm Hardee awards? Big time blogger? Comedy promoter? Download NAR_26th_March_2012.mp3 Guests this week include Nunheader Martin Soan, entertainer, variety show promoter, and volunteer for the Southwark Circle. The Southwark Circle is an organization that helps the elderly and the infirm do things that their families should be doing for them, but don’t do because these needy people have alienated their families with their selfishness. Martin Soan gets naked for Southwark Circle - why he needs to get naked, we don't know - but it was for a good cause. Also on the show is John Fleming, blogger, comedy know-it-all and friend of Malcolm Hardee. John didn't know that he was appearing on the show. I did not tell him as to save him from becoming a nervous wreck. And on the show, he doesn't say a thing. One man naked. The other not speaking. Classic radio!
