Brian Logan, The Guardian, 8th September 2015Review: Richard Herring's Leicester Square Podcast
Richard Herring's latest podcast comes complete with an elephant in the room. Unless I missed it his interview with Bridget Christie doesn't contain any mention of her "fictional husband", aka Herring's comedy partner Stewart Lee.
