Richard Herring teams up with an 128 year-old, 'handsy', ventriloquist doll made by his great-grandad to review the day’s newspapers in an attempt to put to rest the ghosts of old and failed double acts he’s been in. It’s a format that I am sure you’ve seen before, but hopefully we can give it a fresh spin. Unprepared and unrehearsed, Ally and Herring have no idea what the other one is about to say and as long as the offensive stuff is said by the dummy then no one can touch us. But which one’s the dummy? You can watch this live every Thursday night at 8pm on Twitch - http://twitch.tv/rkherring - or continue to enjoy ventriloquism, as God intended, in audio only.

Richard Herring: Ally and Herring's Twitch of Fun

Episode 99g - Dunker Dusting Domd

It's Wednesday, it's 2.30pm and it AAHTOF (AAHTOF) with a soft relaunch of the show after a few months off to give everyone a chance to remember their same phrases. Rich and Ally take a look at some serious news involving the end of the world, golden phones, Musk losing billions, the massive ordnance penetrator, Richard's failing, flailing penis and Dr Who giving top actors deadly drugs. So business as usual, apart from no big wobbling boobies.

Episode 99f - Gargara and Cuggy Groccoli

TOF #99f Gargara and Cuggy Groccoli - Rich is back with a brand new, seductive co-host and a lot of talk about licking things that you really don't want to be licking. Ally is back to talk about whether he will be the new James Bond, if a woman can be Jesus, whether Neighbours will ever end and the imminent collision between our galaxy and another galaxy. Plus could Birthday Donkey get replaced by the puppet that inspired his segment? Might be the last one for a bit as Rich is off on tour. Come and see him on tour: http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour Or sponsor him for not eating Soleros: http://justgiving.com/page/nolero Thanks as ever to Richard Ison for his amazing works.

Episode 99e - Have You See A Fruit Fan?

Twitch of Fun is back but it's just a quick one this week, so not worthy of being Episode 100. But Rich and friends are going full out to be placed in the dustbin of Light Entertainment. Egg Wallace has a new ovoid pal and Marvin the Monkey tries out for main presenter. The team cover Israel/Palestine, Soleros, double bananas (Cocky Carrot fails to comment), whether AI could ever replace this show and some of the more racist songs from US film history. All that and Birthday Donkey, an attempt to find the right size for Richard's huge face and Sybil is back with more terrifying predictions.

Episode 99d - Seig Heil

Episode 99d - Seig Heil. Another Friday afternoon catch up - not an official or canonical episode in which Rich attempts to remember what some of his characters do, as well as discussing the Musky arm movement, why Putin was in such a rush, if Obama has got himself a Rachel, how fast Craig David Iikes to move things along, whether Elizabeth I was a man, where to put your bins in a storm and whether Rich has any right to feel a bit bonnie blue about the stresses in his lucky bugger life. Plus the return of some old friends, a cold prediction for a beloved actor and Rich attempts to explain why men are so entranced by BWBs. Back soon with episode 100 for sure. Come and see Rich on tour, so he stops moaning about his life: https://richardherring.com/ballback

Episode 99c - Imagine

It's Friday, it's 3pm and the computer's back but the tech has screws up. But it's all sorted in 3 minutes flat for a non-canon and non-cannon episode of your favourite afternoon topical news show with a washed up TV celebrity and a 133 year-old ventriloquist dummy that also includes a hippopotamus that is obsessed with mammary glands. All right, second favourite. They discuss which dead AI celebrity they'd like to get their divorce papers from, why there's nothing impressive about a woman having sex with 1000+ men in 12 hours, the controversial choices for Match Of The Day presenters, how Kenneth Kendall would react if he saw what's on BBC News these days and a very clever joke about Dune. Plus Richard just looking at the old intro cartoons and laughing at them because he's forgotten all the stuff he used to do. It's not Episode 100, but that can't be far away.

Episode 99b - Gare Godkin

Due to computer malfunctions this is the first Twitch Of Fun ever to be released without any kind of audience, leaving us in an uncanny valley which is both weird and revealing, freeing and constricting, hilarious and tragic. There's a new co-host, due to popular demand and Rich and one puppet or another cover Musk going mad, pornographic prison officers becoming pornographic prisoners, the 21 signs of sexual attraction, why the Duke of York is the only one who gets into trouble, Baldrick becoming Prime Minister and Elon buying Liverpool. Plus Egg Wallace, the Cock Ness Monster and a tribute to the Gard of Avon. This is NOT episode 100.

Christmas Eve Eve Special

Twitch of Fun Christmas Eve Eve Special - Hawk Tuah. It's 23rd December 2024 and what better date for a Christmas Eve Eve Special of the show that no one has really been calling to come back? And it's an absolute spitshow full of technical difficulties, dropped props and a host with little to no memory of what the show involves. Ally and Herring cover the death of the star of Crocodile Dundee, the lady who had sex with 100 men in 16 hours, the lady who likes to spit on men's members and the man who likes to shoot people he doesn't like in the back. Which one do you think is seen as the hero? Plus a word from the Duke of York and Henry Hippo and two new characters, one of whom attempts to fit his entire head in an old character. You know you've missed it. But you won't feel that way once you've seen or listened to this one. It's not episode 100!

Episode 99 - Agadoo

Twitch of Fun springs back to life for its 99th episode and it's a heartfelt tribute to the fallen of D Day, amongst other things. There's no pressure to be funny luckily and this is just a conversation between two old mates that encompasses Rupert Murdoch's ventriloquist dummy face, the escalation in the chocolate button war, the two words the Queen said to Fergiana, the destruction of the homes of two comedians and the deaths of a lookalike and a pop star. When will episode 100 hit? Who knows? Richard's tour might mean it's a little way away - Get your tickets here: http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour

Episode 98 - There is a Green Hill Far Away

An unexpected Wednesday Twitch of Fun from an overly tired Richard Herring, but those are usually the worst and thus the best ones. Ally and Herring discuss walking in Noel Edmonds' shoes, whether the Queen has a furry muff, why blood is like a butterfly, whether there's room for a Baby Reindeer character on the show, Terry's work with various David Copperfields, casting for the new Supergran and whether Jesus partly enjoyed himself of the cross.

Episode 97 - Yo Momma

Richard has had a gig cancelled due to flooding but Bedford's loss is your probably loss as well as you spend nearly an hour of your life in the company of him and a piece of Victorian papier mache. Ally and Herring discuss inserting batteries where the sun don't shine, the end of sex (not a problem for my viewers), a very old tortoise and Noel Edmonds' age. And the Victorian Ghost Child and Fluffy Rabbit turn up to wipe the floor with everyone. Plus exciting news of the guest for last RHLSTP of the tour that you could have got before nearly everyone else if you'd watched it live. Three to 100!

Episode 96 - The Big C

You thought we'd gone away, but we're getting to 100 if it kills us and then 1000 and won't stop until everyone on the planet earth is watching. Plus God. In this extended tribute to our King, like all other news outlets we speculate on the tiny amount we know about the issue for hours on end. What will be the best cancer for the King to have? Is it wrong to wish that cancer on him? And can we go through another funeral and coronation so soon? Plus some proper HIGNFY style jokes about the Tories, disbelief about old Keir Starmers, weather based innuendo, a lot about the frequency and strength of Richard's erections and birthday Donkey comes close to his dearest wish. Plus a haunting song from Ally of unusual beauty. Back at some point in the future.

Episode 95 - Sit On It, Carter

Twitch of Fun is back for 2024 and Rich doesn't seem very happy about it. Has this really been going for four flicking years? God. The team chat about Rwanda, double fisting, dental improvement, various Royal lies and liars, a Chinese wang and Ronnie O'Sullivan stealing Ally's already stolen catchphrase. Plus a creepy visit from a largely silent Victorian Ghost Child in a mask and find out why Richard has no respect for anyone who likes him or his show.

Episode 94 - Whither Turquoise?

There's a new host for the show and they're going to scare your pants off (as if you had any pants on to start with), but in a show beset by technical difficulties, interruptions and parental exhaustion things never quite get into (gottle of) gear. Though the ventriloquism is coming on. But who is the dummy? Rich and Ally talk about Princess Anne's health, what not to say to the bereaved, the second Big Bang, porridge brains, drunk kids, the male pill, moths in stuffing, vapes and Neanderthals. It all peters out a bit, but with some very good p sounds. See RHLSTP on tour: http://richardherring.com/rhlstp or Richard's new stand-up show: http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour

Episode 93 - Bi-sexual Bumming Bifurcated Badgers

There's plenty of incident in this week's show including an extended set by Victorian Ghost Child, only ended by a flood and then Ally and Herring talk about stopping the boats, Russian votes, scanning teenage porn users, pissing in lay-bys, who the real queen is, humping on Good Morning Britain, the lies that pilots tell you, how to get a job and what makes you an adult. Richard's new stand-up tour might get a mention - see if he's coming near to you, and then complain if he's not here: http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour

Episode 92 - Brian Blessed's Battery Beret

Twitch of Fun is back and there are no children spoiling (improving) it. It's just Ally Darling and Richy Sweetie and the Birthday Donkey and the death throes of a wasp. The pair talk about celebrity deaths, Dutch Pancakes, lying liars, why men should wash their hands after going to the toilet, whether Elon Musk should rename Twitter again and Eric Idle's greatest song. There's a poignant fairytale and an Australian who doesn't understand the seasons. Back on rollicking form.

Episode 91 - Man-nequin

Twitch of Fun is back and there's a double pitch invasion this time, but soon Rich restores order to discuss a year of Richie Sunaq, if you can fire Richard Madeley for doing his job, the moon on holiday, how not to say you're sorry and a beautiful rendition of most of the film Encanto.

Episode 90 - Cat in the Wardrobe

This doesn't happen on Channel 5 (I expect, don't watch it) but the first 10 mins of the show was not broadcast - but it's here for you now. And the show is then interrupted later for a family emergency. But for a brief few minutes everything worked, with chat about robotic hands, the king's love of kids' pants, the shaming of Captain Tom's daughter and marrying yourself. Plus the resignation of a much loved character.

Episode 89 - Just The Two of Us

It's back. Staggering it's way back into existence with a host who doesn't even remember that Henry the Hippo existed. For now it's just Ally and Herring (with some interventions from the younger Herring and a phallic carrot - should they be on the same show?) Herring is tired and Sloper is in surprisingly thoughtful mood, but eventually we got on to dipping fingers into ganache, so it's business as usual. Is JRM a puppet? What household object is Kylie phobic about? Is it OK to say you want to have sex with Suella Braverman (on any level)? And the big name comedian who is going to court.

Episode 88 - Rofl

With a once friendly partnership turning nasty, there may be big changes on Twitch of Fun, but the cast are contracted to appear one more time before the traditional summer break. Terry fondly remembers a fallen comrade, Henry the Hippo is given one last chance and Rich and Ally discuss the surprising illiteracy of the Princess of Wales, Rolf's last words, the truth about Proud Mary and the wit of Prince Charles. Plus the Duke of York so consumed with grief over the death of his friend that his eyes stop working. See you in the autumn (maybe).

Episode 87 - Boobs

A tired Richard Herring attempts to do a topical news story, but is not only sabotaged by puppets but also by doubts about the whole project and then technical gremlins until he just gives up. Maybe this will be his last ever performance and if so it is a testament to his life's work. Hopefully see you next week with better wifi.
