Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - with Greg Davies #39

Ian Gunpowder
Richard chats with his audience and manages to secure himself a TV writing job, as well as marvel at his once IT heavy, bearded male audience being replaced by people who might actually have had sex. Don't worry, the nerds are still there and they're still the best! This week's guest is very tall and has never been told that before, it's sexually-charged comedian and actor Greg Davies.
They converse about how W G Grace upstaged Greg's sister's wedding, how Guy Fawkes died and whether he'd welcome a time-travelling penis, how Greg embarrassed himself in front of Rik Mayall in a supermarket and bum-based encounters with doctors. It's raucous and very funny. This is one that might be worth paying the £3.50 to see on video. Not only does Greg have some amazing facial reactions, but Richard carries out one of the dirtybritcom confession fantasies on him. It's very, very sexy.
The videos of these shows are now available for FREE on iTunes and KZread and vimeo. If you'd like to make a donation to keep these services and this show running then give a one-off or monthly sum of your choice at gofasterstripe.com/badges. Or come and see Richard on tour richardherring.com/gigs

    There is something life-affirming about his comedy; I think it's his willingness to talk about hating his figure, which is more usually a subject for female comics, as well as his incredulity at how his life hasn't exactly gone down the wife and 2.4 children route (where most comics his age have family now and are doing riffs about being bamboozled fathers) and yet although he's honest he's never bitter, angry or smug about it. It is pretty common to see comics doing the man-child schtick, but his unusual twist on it is that he's still got the vestiges of the alpha-male Mr Gilbert aura hanging around him, which makes it a bit different. Plus he clearly adores his bonkers family so he never leaves you feeling he's unfairly using them as comic fodder. I still find it fascinating to imagine how his conversations with Liz Kendall might have gone.

    Fawkes jumped (or fell) from the ladder up to the scaffold and broke his neck - ending his life. Avoiding the full punishment - as he would have been hung to the point of death, let down before he died, then whilst still alive would have been drawn and quartering - basically cut to pieces whilst still alive.

    Just a beer drinking Swede here with no real knowledge about this Guy. wiki: Weakened by torture and aided by the hangman, Fawkes began to climb the ladder to the noose, but either through jumping to his death or climbing too high so the rope was incorrectly set, he managed to avoid the agony of the latter part of his execution by breaking his neck.[37][55][56] His lifeless body was nevertheless quartered[57] and, as was the custom,[58] his body parts were then distributed to "the four corners of the kingdom", to be displayed as a warning to other would-be traitors.[59]
