After covering weighty issues like death, love, religion and spam javelins, 'The King of Edinburgh' (6 Music) is in a frivolous mood with this show about daftness, whether the term cool comedian is an oxymoron, bouncing joyously on the sofa and how Herring's whole career is a failed attempt to top a piece of visual slapstick comedy he came up with at 16. Can he revisit the joke thirty years on or will it smash his old bones?

After sorting out politics (Hitler Moustache), religion (Christ on a Bike), love (What is Love, Anyway?) and penises (Talking Cock) Herring's tenth consecutive stand-up show tackles the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns (apart from Jesus and that canoe bloke). Is death a tragedy or an excuse to have an extended lie-in? Are we snuffed out or forced to endure eternity without bodily pleasures? Death is inevitable, so let's laugh in its face while our hearts still beat and our jaws are still attached.

Having already side-stepped the restrictions of commissioners, producers and censors in his ground-breaking and award winning podcasts, Richard Herring is making the ambitious move to make his own filmed stand-up series.
Filmed monthly at the Leicester Square Theatre in London, each episode will tackle one of the big questions of life: Is there a God? What happens to us when we die? What is love, anyway? Why are we here? Is there really good and evil?
Here's the second series of the a Fist 'o' Fun for you all. And you can finally answer the questions that have plagued mankind for years. Was this the series that suffered from being hastily written and having its budget cut by a third? Or was it the better series as our heroes are more comfortable on screen, and have refined their ideas?
Whatever way you look at it, this is the series that has a special place in the nation's heart as it features the moon on a stick, Rod Hull and of course Ian News.
It feels like it's all been building up to this - as you know, we've spent the last few years filming the best comedians that are currently working. But did you know that we've been squirrelling the money away, so that we can present this - a four disc set of Fist of Fun series 1.
We've got the TV series of course, but we've also got you a lot more...
