I saw Richard Herring do stand-up at a local comedy club in the mid-2000s.
He got quite irate at people shouting out various catchphrases from FoF and TMWRNJ, including 'moon on a stick', saying something along the lines of that being in the past and that he'd moved on to new stuff.
Later in his routine he did a version of a sketch I recognised from one of the radio shows he did with Stewart Lee in the '90s.
I lost a bit of respect for him that night...

He was quite funny as the idiot in the double act, but his solo standup is very forgettable. I think he knows that deep down.
But I guess he's found something of a niche in his podcast interviewing others, a bit like Adam Buxton. I'm not sure how much respect and kudos he wants for the International Women's Day thing, but he's surely got enough now?
