Please book early to avoid disappointment, especially for the weekend gigs.
PREVIEWS
I am previewing extensively. Please be aware that the show is still being written and that the earlier of these gigs will involve me floundering around and reading stuff off bits of paper. Some people enjoy that more than the finished article, but if you don't want to see a preview-quality show then wait til Edinburgh or my subsequent tour. Details of these gigs can be found at
http://www.richardherring.com/gigs (or will be up there as soon as I have them)

As mentioned in last newsletter - There are only 70 tickets left for the November gig and the others are selling well, so please book NOW to ensure a ticket.
Stewart Lee will be roadtesting different material every month for his forthcoming BBC show "Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle".
The gigs are all hosted by me, plus:
Sun 21st September - Robert Newman, Stewart Lee and Dan Antopolski.
Sun 26 October (NB NOT 28th as last newsletter stated) - SPECIAL SURPRISE HEADLINER WHO WE CAN'T NAME YET, BUT WHO IS BRILLIANT, Stewart Lee, Ivan Brackenbury and Wilson Dixon
Sun 16 November - TMWRNJ Reunion Special - Many of the cast of the cult BBC 2 show get together for the first time on stage for almost 10 years. Please be aware that most of these people will be doing their current acts rather than material or characters from the show - including Stewart Lee, Richard Thomas, Paul Putner, Emma Kennedy and Trevor Lock. Hopefully Kevin Eldon will also show up, though he hasn't got back to me yet. The evening will be headlined by a short 10 minute set from defunct double act LEE AND HERRING.
Tickets are £15 per gig or £10 per gig if you sit in the Upper Circle - or buy tickets for all three gigs and get the best seats for just £30 total (3 for 2). Please ring the Lyric on 0871 22 117 29 and quote "Moon on a Stick" to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

TV
On Monday this week I did a reading of my new Scrabble based sit-com "Absolutely Scrabulous" for BBC executives. Will let you know what the response was in the next newsletter!
That's your lot for now. Hope to see you at one or more of those many gigs!
