RICHARD HERRING AND ANDREW COLLINS
COMEDY
PODCAST LIVE! + STAND UP
Unscripted, unrehearsed, unabashed. Richard Herring and Andrew Collins with
intellectual, puerile, needlessly offensive, improvised banter. It will be 1 hour, six
minutes and 36 seconds of totally improvised nonsense, but in a theatre, rather
than Rich’s attic. If that wasn’t enough there will also be a first half of solo sets
from Andrew Collins (Mark Kermode’s stunt double and bestselling author of
“Where Did Everything Go Right?”) and Richard Herring (star of Fist of Fun and
award winning stand up comedian).
Don’t miss out on the chance to see the rudest and most hilarious podcast in the
country, recorded live on poor quality equipment in front of your astonished face.

KRAPP’S LAST TAPE
On the occasion of his birthday, Krapp
reviews his life and listens to tape
recordings he has made decades
earlier, when he was young and in his
prime. He listens to the promises he
made and the fruition to which they
came...
As he listens to his past, to these days
gone by, all categorised and coded by
spool, he begins to face the realisation
that he has wasted his life, a life that
now approaches its end. Krapp’s
realisation becomes increasingly
poignant as he begins to record his
last tape…

for Taylor, proving beyond doubt

A MASTERCLASS IN EVIL
Once again Steven Berkoff holds the
stage alone - this time with his
exploration and analysis of
Shakespeare’s most villainous
characters: Iago, the Macbeths,
Shylock, Richard III… Characters who
are inherently evil, others whose
situation leads them to evil deeds,
others at the mercy of an evil society.
Incisive insights into the psyche give
way to Shakespeare’s own words
which explode into the auditorium from
one of the UK’s most formidable and
maverick talents.
Renowned throughout the world as
actor, writer and director, Berkoff is
known to many for the villains he has
played in mainstream films-
Octopussy, Beverly Hills Cop,
Rambo and The Krays. He brings this
experience to Shakespeare’s characters
in a way that challenges and
exhilarates.
‘A maverick with an awesome
stage presence’ Daily Telegraph
Shakespeare’s Villains has enjoyed a
successful West End run and has
