Richard Herring brings RHLSTP back to the Edinburgh Fringe through 16 August 2026, with the main run at 2pm in Stand 3 at The Stand Comedy Club. The live podcast changes guest each day, so no two performances have exactly the same conversation.
RHLSTP is built around long-form guest interviews interrupted by Herring’s emergency and deliberately impertinent questions, with the awkward turns often becoming part of the comedy.

What To Expect
RHLSTP is a live recording of Richard Herring’s long-running interview podcast rather than a conventional stand-up hour. Each performance pairs Herring with a different Fringe guest for a conversation that can move between career stories, personal anecdotes, deliberately silly questions and whatever unexpected tangent appears on the day.
The format has become a regular part of Herring’s Edinburgh visits. The Stand bills 2026 as his 28th Fringe and 45th show, which means the live podcast arrives with a large back catalogue but still works as a standalone performance because each guest changes the subject matter.
Most performances in this run are at 2pm in Stand 3 on York Place. Selected 5:30pm extra recordings take place at The Stand at W Edinburgh instead, so check the venue printed on your ticket if you choose one of those later slots.

Tickets are listed from £13 to £15. The main 2pm performances are at The Stand on York Place, while selected 5:30pm extras use The Stand at W Edinburgh. Check the booking page carefully before buying. Check tickets and availability.
