Read Herring?

Now up on Box Social: a review of Richard Herring's stand-up gig in Liverpool on Monday. Skif is rather less enthusiastic about the 'Someone Likes Yoghurt' show than I was back in March.

On his blog Warming Up, Herring acknowledges that some of the material fell a bit flat, but it sounds as though the later stand-up performance, delivered in the midst of a pub crawl, was rather more eventful: "I don’t think it gets much better than standing on a table in the dark watching a member of your audience being taken away by the police".

Other recent Warming Up posts of interest: Herring writes on the day of the London bombings about the need for comedy even in the face of tragedy, and defends his material following a complaint from a Christian.

Incidentally, you may have noticed that since a flurry of comedy reviews / features in February and March, there's been nothing whatsoever on that front. Well, hopefully it'll be remedied soon - just not sure when. Herring's old mucker Stewart Lee is playing The Station Pub in Sutton Coldfield (where J and I saw him in February) tomorrow night, but we've already decided to wait until he returns to Brum with his Edinburgh show 'Stewart Lee - 90s Comedian' towards the end of October.
