Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

RHLSTP 361 - Chris Lynam - Hair Length Apartheid (22x18)

Fecha de emisión: Ene 05, 2022

It's a New Year (for you, though Richard is just pretending) and Rich looks back on his weird and unsettling 2021, but definitely sees the positives in it all. Will this year be better than the last one or will the years just continue top get worse and worse until we all die? His guest is the king of the clowns and circuit legend, Chris Lynam, who you might know from his firework up the bum routine, but who has a whole lot more to him than that. They chat about what Chris remembers of the early alternative comedy scene, working with Ken Campbell, Malcolm Hardee overestimating how easy it is to light fireworks in your buttocks, what destroyed the spirit of alternative comedy, who destroyed the rainforest of Zimbabwe and how Chris nearly became impaled on a bed of nails. Plus the times that his perilous appearing act actually spilled over into real danger, the heart and soul of the clown and how Chris has managed to maintain the same level of madness without turning any more mad.
