Edinburgh FringeGeorge Square Theatre 30th July- 24th August at 22.45 Lord of the Dance Settee 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? 'Dependably funny' (Chortle.co.uk). 'A new Richard Herring show
is a never-ending cause for delight" List -

Edinburgh Fringe31st July-24th August at 15.35 (80 minutes) George Square Theatre, Edinburgh
A new play by Richard Herring. American journalist EM Halliday visits
the aged Russian Prince and conspirator in the murder of Rasputin, Felix
Yusupov, improbably still alive in 1967. The former richest man in
Russia, now reduced to making money from his tall tale, is haunted by
the Mad Monk, who even 50 years on refuses to die. Will Yusupov finally
reveal the truth? I don't know of an instant in modern history where so
many reputable as well as disreputable historians have solemnly
repeated such a patently improbable story as if it were gospel (EM
Halliday). You'll believe a monk can't die!
