Richard Herring: Happy Now? - The Lowry, Salford review

You will not come out of this show with sore ribs or an aching face but you will leave with a new-found appreciation of the small things in your life that you may have taken for granted or forgot they make you happy.

Review - Richard Herring, Happy Now?

Compared to previous shows it feels more like a series of routines than a fully formed whole, too scattergun to ever feel really coherent as, say, Headmaster's Son or Hitler Moustache.

Live review: Richard Herring, Leicester Square Theatre

Richard Herring has been developing his new show, Happy Now? for a while. An embryonic version of it was performed last summer when he did all of his past shows in one epic run at the Leicester Square Theatre. So it's interesting that the show isn't about quite what I initially thought it was going to be about.
