Today’s guest is a pioneering British comedian who has shaped and developed a sparkling career on stage, TV, radio, and in print. However, he is also a person who has dealt with a considerable illness which he now speaks about and raises awareness around.

This week on Talking in the Dark Evie speaks with comedian, podcaster, author and ambassador for the Scope charity Richard Herring.

In today’s conversation Evie speaks with Richard and learns all about his journey into comedy, the joys he finds in touring and performing live, and the impetus behind starting his brilliant podcast The Leicester Square Theatre Podcast. Richard also shares on his experience with testicular cancer and explains some of the ways he has grown from the ordeal and how it now informs his writing.

This was a lovely conversation with a brilliant comedian and we thank Richard for his time and energy.
