Richard Keith Herring (born 12 July 1967) is an English stand-up comedian and comedy writer whose early work includes the comedy double act Lee and Herring.
He is described by The British Theatre Guide as "one of the leading hidden masters of modern British comedy".Towards the end of the double act, Herring also worked as a writer, producing four plays.
After Lee and Herring went their separate ways he co-wrote the sitcom Time Gentlemen Please, but quickly returned to performance with concept-driven one-person shows like Talking Cock, Hitler Moustache and Christ on a Bike as well as regular circuit stand-up.
Herring has created thirteen of these stand-up shows since 2004, performing them for eleven consecutive years at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with annual tours and a final performance recorded for DVD.
His 2016–17 show was a 'best of' tour, drawing from these shows.He is recognised as a pioneer of comedy podcasting, initially with broadcaster Andrew Collins on The Collings and Herrin Podcast and more recently with high-profile comedians such as Simon Pegg, Russell Brand and Stephen Fry on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast.
He has maintained a daily blog called Warming Up without a break since 25 November 2002.
His blog is archived by the British Library for purposes of UK documentary heritage.
