2012 #23: Martin Mor and Ro Campbell

Richard Herring's Edinburgh Fringe Podcast

2012 #23: Rasputin Beard - Martin Mor and Ro Campbell. Richard has egg all over his trousers, but it's not the result of experimenting with sex with birds after recent cloacal revelations - he's been competing for an Edinburgh trophy at the Malcolm Hardee Awards. Has he finally won something in Edinburgh? ... No of course not. His guest is Martin 'Bigpig' Mor, an intimidating, but gentle giant and Rasputin lookalike (will he do a show about what it's like to have the same facial hair as an historical figure?) who has worked as a juggler and a knife-thrower, which proved great practice for dealing with hecklers. There is also discussion about whether the gym both men frequent is a good pick-up joint, how all art could be improved by a monkey Jesus and Rich's own first artistic commission. Did Richard get the idea to do a TV show from Stewart Lee? Is there anything that wasn't Stewart Lee's idea? With leafletting-based comedy from Ro Campbell. Only two days from the end - and the 50th RHEFP (rhefp).
