Planet Herring
The comedian and writer Richard Herring, best-known as one half of student favourites Lee and Herring in the 1990s, still makes a tidy living from radio and the occasional sell-out stand-up tour. He also finds time to post a consistently funny blog, musing on thought-provoking topics such as the creative life, the Hitler moustache ("Surely, 60 years on, the toothbrush moustache can make a resurgence"), a morbid fascination with Obama's inauguration and people who call their children Hitler. So, musings about Hitler mostly, but no less entertaining for that.
