Beyond the Joke reviews LOTDS

Also opening tonight at Leicester Square Theatre is Richard Herring with his latest touring show, Lord of the Dance Settee. This dispenses with the major themes of his recent works – love, death, religion, etc – and simply celebrates the daftness of life. I thought this might make Settee a thinner piece, but when I saw it in Edinburgh it was as good as any of his high-concept works. It also had a major surprise in it back then, which, if you follow Herring avidly you may know about by now. But this is a gig that doesn’t need gimmicks, it’s already full of cracking gags to hook you in. - See more at: http://www.beyondthejoke.co.uk/content/1267/preview-comedy-week-ahead-%E2%80%93-dec-1-dec-7#sthash.3gWYtlVz.
