Hello all
Sorry ladies, gay men and straight men and lesbians who still wanted to marry me - I am now married. The wedding day was really joyful and wonderful and so far being hitched has been plain sailing. In fact, it's pimpsy.
Here's what's going on in May and beyond.
WHAT IS LOVE, ANYWAY? TOUR
The tour has been my most successful yet, so thanks very much if you came along.

RICHARD HERRING'S LEICESTER SQUARE THEATRE PODCAST

I am very excited about these, think they could be something very special. So do tune in.
LYRIC HAMMERSMITH COMEDY NIGHT
I am hosting my final ever Lyric Hammersmith Comedy Night on 29th April. It's a brilliant line up, Phill Jupitus, Jenny Eclair, Lucy Porter and Chris McCausland and if you quote "April" by phone on online you can get two tickets for £20, which is frankly ridiculous! This is the website -

Be nice to go out with a bang. These shows have always been great, but they haven't been selling too well, which is a shame.
SCOPE BENEFIT
On 20th May I am part of another impressive line up at the Hammersmith Apollo, all the proceeds going to SCOPE. Tim Minchin has had to drop out due to getting a part in a US TV show, but Al Murray, Ben Elton, Francesca Martinez, Milton Jones and many more will be taking part. Sally Phillips will also be reprising the "Girl who smelled of spam". It's selling fast, so get tickets here -

TALKING C*CK QUESTIONNAIRE
For my forthcoming Edinburgh show and answer to the Va-gina Monologues I am setting up another anonymous pen-is based questionnaire - there are questions for men and for women and the more people who take part the better - so let me know your answers and spread the word
The men's questionnaire is here -

TALKING C*CK PROGRAMME
Thanks to the very generous people who have already donated money in return for getting their name in the charity programme. If you donate at least £15 (the more you give, the bigger your name) before June 1st, you can join them, then email me your address and you'll be sent a limited edition signed programme as soon as they are ready (and I have time to make them).

If you know a business that would like to advertise in the programme then please tell them to get in touch with me herring1967@googlemail.com for very reasonable rates. The money goes to SCOPE.

Apologies for the information overload - but it's made me realise how much I've got to do, so I'd better hop it. Have a lovely weekend and month of May.
