Episodes

  • AIOTM Video Series #6 - Repo Mann. It's the final episode of the series and there's a hostage situation to resolve. I expect they will manage that. And, if they do, then you can will get to see the first kniforkoon off the production line, the true story of the Song of Sixpence and how Richard's obsession with toaster robots resolves. Christian bids a final (surely) farewell to the AIOTM franchise, Emma recounts the tale of a woman who pooed herself in front of a delivery driver and Dan Tetsell shows a surprising knowledge of the intricacies of time travel. Plus introducing exciting new acting talent Ross Mann. Here's his Spotlight Page - http://www.spotlight.com/3418-9051-0224. Employ him in any way you see fit. Plus stories of the magical town of Fleet, creepy Uncle's Pawnbroker and the dangers of mispronouncing the names of popular spreads. And find out what becomes of the romance betwixt Rich and Aberham Lincoln. It may have repercussions.

    You can see longer episodes of all the shows in this series, with a good 20 mins of extra material in each show (including, in show 6, a delightful accent-off between Rich and Ross Mann that might be the funniest thing in the whole series).

    Thank God it's over. Now let's never do anything as stupid as this again.

  • AIOTM Video Series #5: Orange Beads. Rich has been dreaming about a movie star and also got a bit cross with Hitler. You won't believe what he's done now! Also he takes a look at an old Nespresso advert and wonders why we have frozen peas. Plus poo stories, Christian takes on Trump (is he still going?), Tiny Baby Anus and Gemma the toaster sex robot is mobile. Plus a special guest direct from Kew Gardens who seems a bit cross for some reason.

  • AIOTM Video Series #4: Barbara. Has becoming a dad meant that Richard has lost his comedy mojo? Only you can decide (but the answer seems to be yes). Having finally got rid of the dead wood of Emma Kennedy and getting back the dead wood of Dan Tetsell, Rich turns his attention to how constitutional revenge porn is and meets the couple whose decision to back out of selling him their house has created two very different possible futures (have you seen the film Sliding Doors?). There is some very tender and beautiful love-making betwixt Rich and his toaster robot and Tiny Baby Anus turn their attention to Baa Baa Black Sheep. Christian Reilly sings about Paul Hewson and the naughty dog is back, as the cast become largely replaced by puppets. Abraham Lincoln might be in there somewhere, who knows?

    Best listened to whilst vainly trying to find the website for http://carer.io (if you are part of the very specific demographic that would need it).

  • AIOTM Video Series #3: Kniforkoon. We're a cast member down and the new young blood on the team seems to be plotting a permanent takeover. It reminds me of something, but surely there can't be a Shakespeare parody in the middle of all this rubbish about poo and robot sex? Richard is furious about a slight he has received from a young house guest and bamboozled by the specificity of the educational videos that his daughter has to sit through (introducing the big future star of TV, film or whatever they have in the future, Phoebe Herring). He is also planning to reinvent the way we eat food and his toaster robot obsession is getting out of hand (and into the slot of a toaster). Also what happens when you try to wee in the wrong place and finally Emma Kennedy gets what's coming to her.

    This show is best enjoyed whilst sitting in Haslemere and eating some Dylan's Ice Cream: http://www.dylansicecream.co.uk/

    To view a longer version of this and the other five episodes (all six are already up), plus behind the scenes interviews, bloopers and other material why not buy a series pass at www.gofasterstripe.com/aiotm (other AIOTM merchandise also available at that address).

  • AIOTM Video Series #2 - Average. In the second episode of this groundbreaking series, Richard wonders about the consequences of sending soiled toilet mats to strangers, discusses his (as yet still unbroadcast) third appearance on Pointless Celebrities, introduces a new cool cast member, tries to flog a new Christian Reilly album, recalls an embarrassing sexual encounter (though not sure he ever had anything but), goes further into his obsession with making a sex robot, before questioning the morality, immortality or amorality of accepting pastries from the homeless.

  • AIOTM Video Series #1: Warsaw Indiana. It's taken some time, but here it is! The kickstarted video episode (also available as this audio) of AIOTM. Rich assembles the old team and they reveal where the money has gone. Plus there's news of Richard's holiday in pre-Trump America, a President who is less interesting than his hat, the start of a six part series examining the ethics of sex with robots, and the introduction of Tiny Baby Anus!

  • AIOTM Audio Extra 6: The Tigers Come at Night. It's been on helluva slog, but we're nearly there. And on the final audio extra before the completely different video series begins (hopefully by May 2017), Richard is concerned about tweets from Jeremy Corbyn, who is more popular Morgan or Rowling and why we have a Doomsday clock. There's a moving tribute to one that has fallen and a desperate attempt to milk some more mileage out of half decade old material. And what's in Farage's garage this week. With songs about love and pancakes from the amazing Christian Reilly. Thanks for helping us on this journey. The stuff you've paid for (or not - but you still can http://www.gofasterstripe.com/aiotm) will be on its way asap. And now we rest. Oh apart from this mammoth tour: http://www.richardherring.com/the_best/tour

  • AIOTM Audio Extra 5: Hootenanny Lies. It's the penultimate AIOTM of the series, but the videos won't be out for a couple of months at least, so enjoy this bonus topical podcast which predictably is mainly concerned with a piss-covered President elect, but there's also time to cover Last Of The Summer Wine, washing baked bean tins, the return of the naughty dog, and who has the best manoeuvre. And for lover's of Dr Seuss and water sports there is a return for Farage in the Garage.

    If you want to help us finance the video podcast then head to http://www.gofasterstripe.com/aiotm for merch and secret channel pass, or come and see the final recording on February 12th https://leicestersquaretheatre.ticketsolve.com/shows/873548587. And do check out Rich's live tour dates at http://www.richardherring.com/the_best/tour

  • AIOTM Audio Extra 4: Farage in the Garage. It's the AIOTM (aiotm) team's fourth attempt to give you bonus content and try and tempt you down to come and see a show live - https://leicestersquaretheatre.ticketsolve.com/shows/873548587/events or subscribe to the channel of video extras http://www.gofasterstripe.com/aiotm, but is the tactic working or just putting people off? Dan Tetsell is back after his unexplained absence and the team (even producer Ben) have all been given kickstarter t-shirts (there are a few surplus ones available to buy at www.gofasterstripe.com PLUS the Cumpkin Tea Towel - the perfect Christmas gift). There is stuff about who was the real hero in Spartacus, the last person from the 1800s, The Cat in the Hat, Ferrero Rocher, a fitting tribute to a late Anus Arsehole and an amazing TWO Christmas songs from Christian Reilly. Plus the birth of a new cartoon character who is bound to become a perennial Christmas favourite. Itttt's Chriiiiiiissssssssttttttmaaaaas!

  • AIOTM Audio Extra 3: Dan has been mysteriously replaced by Matthew Crosby and everyone is trying to process the week's incredible and terrifying news, and Rich wonders if he can get back to the alternate Universe where Trump got dumped and see how things turned out there. Whilst acknowledging that the President- Elect is unsatirisable (and yes, Rich is saluting him in the photo - he for one welcomes our new bumpkin-overlord), they decide to give it a bit of a go, before moving on to cat death, Thundercats, sex robots and the vagaries of Twitter exchanges. Plus International Men's Day fun with Christian Reilly. The world will never be the same again, so it's reassuring that AIOTM will always be exactly the same.

  • AIOTM Audio Extra 2: Richard's usual plan to write AIOTM at the last minute very nearly comes unstuck, when he is betrayed by the thing that he loves. But somehow he pulls it out the pan (in both senses) and constructs a topical bonus podcast (that is not the same show that you Kickstarted - that will be out in 2017) looking into what happens if you follow the Trump ideal of locker room talk, if it's possible to get away with imaginary murder, and looks at some of the most useless logical reasoning known to man from the Brexit camp on Twitter. Rich also recounts a bizarre coincidence involving Jason Manford[/]p (pictured), plus there's a song from [p]Christian Reilly and a catch up of what Dan and Emma have been up to. Given the circumstances it's almost impressive.

  • AIOTM Audio Extra 1: Ram-Packed. After 5 years apart, the AIOTM team are reunited and it's like they've never been away. As well as recording the kickstarted video episode of the show (which will be released in 2017) the whacky funsters put together this bonus, topical audio podcast, created under the ridiculous last minute structure of the original series. This is NOT what you paid your kickstarter money for. This one (given we were in the theatre anyway) cost us NOTHING. And it sounds like it. Topics under discussion include Keiths, headphone jacks and poor-taste 9/11 tributes. Christian rallies behind Donald Trump in song and Richard provides his own contribution to the BBC Sitcom celebration. I mean who wants to see old comedy formats put back together years after they passed their sell-by date...? And find out what kind of umpkins the cool kids are interested in in futuristic 2016.

  • AIOTM - the Return. As it Occurs To Me is coming back. We're filming six new episodes that will be released next year. You can buy tickets to see the studio parts of the show being recorded here https://leicestersquaretheatre.ticketsolve.com/shows/873548587/events - The first one is on September 11th. Aptly. But as well as the six super-duper eps (which will be available as video and audio podcasts), we are going to be doing some mini-audio episodes at each record to whet your appetite. So the first one should be up soon. Resubscribe!

  • AIOTM: The New Class??? It's been five years since the AIOTM caravan closed its doors, all the cumpkins and dumpkins and minted cumpkins are mouldering in a corner, Emma and Dan have not had any work since and Christian turns up at the Leicester Square Theatre every Monday night, just hoping. Richard in the meantime has been off writing critically acclaimed plays and living the life of a millionaire bachelor. But due to popular demand (from himself) he has decided to try to bring the podcast back, with all new stuff (mainly) and all on swanky film. But he needs your help. If you'd like us to make six video eps of AIOTM then donate between a pound and five thousand pounds here: www.gofasterstripe.com/kickstarter

    In the meantime enjoy this skit, which you can also see on video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k60IYgcH86s

  • It's the end my friends. It really is. Really, really. But don't cry, just say goodbye, it could be worse. Rich has stories of CJ from Eggheads and Al Qaeda and is unjustly critical of a charity trying to de-worm orphans in Haiti, Emma has the best poo stories to make you sick, Dan is dressed as Adam Ant and Christian is looking forward to next week's show. Will Pippa Middleton's Disembodied Anus survive? Will King Herod make an appearance? Will Andrew Collins say 'aside' or make an appearance in real life? Will Rich have to take the cumpkin-based punishment prescribed by last week's Moral Maze or does he have some kind of revenge planned for the dark and mysterious forces that make the ethical decisions? I don't know, why don't you just listen to the podcast? All I can tell you is that tears or some kind of bodily fluid will be spilled before the show is over. As much as we travel in time, can we truly change our fates? It's properly the end folks. Thanks so much for your support or your 1 star iTunes reviews. It's been fun. Apart from the pain and mental illness.

  • It's the penultimate AIOTM (aiotm) ever and Rich smells like a baker. He has had last week's moral maze punishment hanging over his head (see video extra below - but beware once you've seen it you can't un-see it). Emma is back to her scatological best, Dan has been captured by an artist (pictured) and Christian is worried about the effects of nuclear catastrophes. What will Rich do at Lily Allen's wedding? Who is up to star in Attitudeless Badger? What would the 11 year-old Rich think about 43 old Rich getting an email from Francoise Pascal? How can the moral maze top last week's punishment? Only one way to find out!

  • It's Season 3, Episode 4 of AIOTM (aiotm) and Rich and his forearm are regretting allowing the audience to make decisions about what is moral and what is not. He has been working hard on his punishment and is just hoping there is a 14-17 year-old boy who will be prepared to take the fruits (or seeds) of his labour. Dan, Christian and Emma are all lending a hand and together they have created one of the most horrendous comedy props in the whole of history. This show might actually break some laws. And if it doesn't then one of the weirdos in the audience definitely has.

    Rich had been trying to impress his girlfriend's parents and is coping with the stress of getting into the exclusive after show area at the Jerry Seinfeld gig on Friday. Emma has taken out a superinjunction on herself, Dan has been licking things in public and Christian has been recognised in a toilet in Ipswich. Perhaps foolishly there is another Moral Maze with even more dire consequences for Rich, Pippa Middleton's Disembodied Anus, and the return of an old favourite up to his old duplicity. Christian is up in arms about Britain's Got Talent, but not the stuff that's bothering anyone else. Plus there's the first real screw up of the 26 episodes we've done so far and we don't edit so we've just got to deal with it. Seriously, it is the 21st Century.

    WARNING: if you download this show you might end up on a register.

  • Secret stand-up. As a special once-in-a-series treat, here's this week's exclusive 40 minute set from Richard, which usually you can only get to hear if you come to the show or buy a special CD. Richard chats with the audience, makes inappropriate suggestions to women half his age, reads some of his teenage poetry, does a potential routine for his new show What is Love, Anyway? for the first time ever live on stage, and revives the classic routine 'Give Me Head, til I'm Dead'. But there's plenty of adlib fun with the audience and a routine about odd bits of facial hair that maybe should have been in the proper podcast.

  • It's the 25th episode of AIOTM (aiotm) and the silver jubilee is marked with a new 'umpkin'. If you think it's cumpkins or dumpkins then you have to get with it grandad! And Rich has more than half an eye on the listeners of the future. He has also become disturbed by the Canadian couple who won't reveal the sex of their baby (is it as disturbing as Baby Massage? The babies seem to think so) and has been recognised in Amsterdam airport (but who has he been recognised as?).Emma is gate-crashing literary festivals and Dan has been enjoying some odd time with his family, whilst Christian may be close to being friends with the actual factual Lembit Opik. The audience for once come good and provide some spectacular tales of stuff that has occurred to them. This week's Moral Maze has to be heard to be believed and has consequences that could only have been predicted by the strangest person on earth, but demonstrates why the public should not be allowed to make decisions about anything of any importance. One of the characters has written a diary and Richard is halfway through the series without having had a nervous breakdown, but it can't be far off. Some of the accents in this show will make Cheryl Cole seem like the voice of 1950s BBC. And if Dan Tetsell gives you a cucumber, don't eat it. It's the longest AIOTM (aiotm) yet and maybe the funniest and you will learn things about penis enlargement that you might not want to know. But it'd be even funnier if you'd come and seen it live. People came from America, Mumbai and Salisbury to see this show.
