"This is the most self indulgent thing I have ever done', says Richard Herring as he bounds on to the familiar stage of the Leicester Square Theatre. And who are we to argue - for the guest on this week's show is none other than Richard himself. With a combination of swagger and poor camera tricks we will finally get to see what makes the mysterious Herring tick. This DVD is a document to the kindness of the 2000 contributors to our recent KickStarter campaign to film every episode of the 8th series of Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast. It's also a joke that has got out of hand. As well as the hour long special RHLSTP with Rich, there's a backstage tour of the Leicester Square Theatre, every backstage interview from series 7, and hidden somewhere amongst the rushes is a short video of Rich before the camera trickery was added. He doesn't look very well.
