Richard Herring - August News

Hey everyone
The Edinburgh Fringe is almost upon us and I am really looking forward to both my shows. I hope this stupid King of Edinburgh thing doesn't persist this year. I still don't know how that got started.

FRINGE
My stand up show "Talking C*ck: The Second Coming" is at the Udderbelly in Bristo Square on 1st-26th August at 8.15pm. Tickets https://www.underbelly.co.uk/richard-herring-edinburgh.

The Edinburgh Fringe Podcast is at the Stand One at 2.15pm from 3rd-27th August (not 13th) with a preview at 4.10pm on 2nd August
