Richard Herring on the art of stand-up comedy

Richard Herring by Richard Herring

Richard Herring is the first comedian in a series of in-conversation events with Oliver Double for the British Stand-Up Comedy Archive project.

The British Stand-Up Comedy Archive was launched at the University of Kent following the donation of the personal archive of the late (and brilliant) comedian Linda Smith, by her partner Warren Lakin. Now the archive has become a Beacon Project, receiving extra funding to celebrate the University’s 50th anniversary.

This has allowed us to stage a series of in-conversation events, in which a series of fantastic comedians will talk to Oliver Double about the art of stand-up comedy.

In the first event Richard Herring will talk to Oliver Double about his work as a stand-up comedian and broadcaster.

The event is being held at The Gulbenkian Theatre on Wednesday 8 April 2015 at 19.30.

Tickets cost £10 and student tickets £6. For more information visit the Gulbenkian webpages.
