About this episode
RHLSTP #597 - University of Bee-Keeping - Richard is back at the Podcast Room where he is chatting with one-liner king, Mark Simmons. They discuss the difficulties of producing a good succinct joke, how rarely Richard manages it, how the language used can serve as a hidden copyright sign in the DNA of the thing and what can be done if someone nicks a good one to make into a greetings card. Plus the perils of being the support act for a sore-throated Seann Walsh, whether the man at Pret fancied or pitied Richard, living with a poltergeist and the importance of giving your audience something to laugh at. Plus why it’s fun to punctuate one-liners with patience testing nonsense.
