“We laugh in the face of Ian Twitch. There is no finer medium for the talents of Victorian Ghost Child and Ally Sloper (among others) than audio-only. Why, oh why, oh why has this not been picked up by the big hitters? (BBC Radio Derby? Silk FM? C’mon, guyz)
Richard Herring is undisputed* king of...”Read full review »

“Stunning work, hilarious and Mr Herring’s best work. He’s probably the only comedian, nay human capable of creating a podcast, with a 130 year old legend of the stage, Mr Ally Sloper.. This gets funnier with each episode. I genuinely believe this mono balled mad man deserves an MBE for services...”Read full review »

“…and I’m not even winking at it.
Mr Herrings best ever work, a sideways look at the news with a huge supporting cast of top characters.”

“Once again Richard Herring rides the coat-tails of a funnier, more talented partner. This is so much a rebooted of the Collings and Herrin podcast that he might as well have gotten Dan Tetsell to do the voice of Ally. Worth watching for the moment when Ally gets the green light on his own BBC2...”Read full review »

“Yet again Herring talks all over someone else on a podcast. Ally really seemed to have some cutting satire and fresh incite on the days news and all we get is Herring talking all over him. If it wasn’t already bad enough listening to Herring waffle all over guests in RHLSTP (RHLSTP) he puts out...”Read full review »

“Rich is actually far better at ventriloquism than anyone has any right to expect. The doll is creepy af on Twitch so this is the best way to consume this content, even if it’s not always clear “who” is supposed to be speaking.”

“That’s right, this is NOT just another ventriloquism podcast. I’ve listened to a lot of what is a well-worn genre and thought it couldn’t be possible to bring a fresh take, but Ally and Herring have not only done it but continued to push the boundaries.”

“Ventriloquism is one of the most underrepresented art forms. Thankfully Richard Herring, ably assisted by the redoubtable Ally, are here to rectify that. In-depth news reviews, puerile inanities, what’s no to like?”
