RHLSTP 541 - Doon Mackichan

#541 Hairy-legged Cinderella - Richard is fitting in in his new town and is surprisingly not the weirdest person there. His guest this week is On The Hour alumni, actor and campaigner Doon Mackichan. They talk about a show down with Jim Davidson, 1980s feminism, whether it’s possible to carry on swimming after you are dead, how taking no shit seems to have helped Doon’s career, fighting against stereotyping and turning violent crime into entertainment, the revolutionary sketch show Smack The Pony and how the stars doubted it would be a success and why Richard is doing his best to redress the sexist balance of the TV industry by getting his cock and arse on screen as much as possible.Buy Doon’s Book “My Lady Parts” here https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/my-lady-parts-a-life-fighting-stereotypes-doon-mackichan/7448426?ean=9781838856366See a live recording of RHLSTP - https://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Hosted on Acast.
