Also opening tonight at Leicester Square Theatre is Richard Herring with his latest touring show, Lord of the Dance Settee. This dispenses with the major themes of his recent works – love, death, religion, etc – and simply celebrates the daftness of life. I thought this might make Settee a thinner piece, but when I saw it in Edinburgh it was as good as any of his high-concept works. It also had a major surprise in it back then, which, if you follow Herring avidly you may know about by now. But this is a gig that doesn't need gimmicks, it's already full of cracking gags to hook you in. - See more at: http://www.beyondthejoke.co.uk/content/1267/preview-comedy-week-ahead-%E2%80%93-dec-1-dec-7#sthash.3gWYtlVz.
