RHLSTP
The first bit of amazing news is that the Leicester Square Theatre Podcast has been nominated for the prestigious Sony Radio Award for Comedy. It is (I believe) the first podcast to get the nod in this category, so it's massive.
And the series is returning. There's a one-off special at the Machynlleth Festival on 4th May where I will be interviewing Pappys. You can buy tickets here -
http://www.tickettailor.com/checkout/view-event/id/7894/chk/2a5b
But it will be up on the British Comedy Guide and iTunes for free as usual.
And there's a full series starting on May 27th where my guest will be Chris Addison. I don't have any other names confirmed as yet, but there are some very exciting people pencilled in. You can buy tickets here -

The podcast will be free, but this time we are also planning to film the series and offer them as paid downloads either as individual episodes of a season pass (and we'll probably put them on DVD too). It would be massively helpful if you could support this endeavour by paying for at least one download, but you don't have to.
If this works out I might be doing a monthly filmed stand-up show (of new material) that people can pay to download. We'll see.

EDINBURGH FRINGE
I will be appearing at the Pleasance Beyond at 8pm every night with my new stand-up show, "We're All Going To Die!" See the latest draft of the poster here -
http://www.richardherring.com/archive/downloads.php?2762952 (a couple of mistakes in it)
I will be previewing throughout June and July, mainly in London but also including gigs in Stockton, Newcastle, Bristol, Brighton, Chippenham, Peterborough and Falkirk, but will have details of those in the next newsletter.
And I will be at Stand One with a third run of the Edinburgh Fringe Podcasts at 13.55 every day (not 12th). I have no confirmed guests as yet, but I am sure to get the biggest Fringe stars and I know that both Sarah Millican and Susan Calman are keen to return for starters! Buy your tickets now -
http://www.thestand.co.uk/Fringe/Performance/Stand1/1018/Richard-Herrings-Edinburgh-Fringe-Podcast - as always these will all be released as free podcasts. But it's even better live and there are prizes!
