2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Richard Wright Is Just Happy To Be Involved
Richard Wright is just happy to be involved. He loves the Edinburgh Fringe. It's the most wonderful time of the year. He loves it so much he lost out on a job to come do this. Why did he do that? That's not the point. He's here and much like Robbie Williams he just wants to entertain you. For like an hour. Max.

Edinburgh rules
Many performers set themselves Edinburgh rules, like not drinking for the month. We asked this year's Fringers what theirs are.

As his show title explains, Richard Wright says he is super happy to be involved in the Edinburgh Fringe.
British Comedy Guide, 5th August 2019Which conspiracy theory do you think might be true?
Richard Herring asks the Emergency Questions that matter...

A stupid question.
Chortle, 23rd July 2019The most impressive thing you have ever been underneath
For this year's Edinburgh Fringe, we've teamed up with Richard Herring (you probably know him best as Journalist from The Battersea Ripper) to offer a peculiar twist on the traditional festival questionnaire - with all the queries taken from his book of Emergency Questions, as originally used on his Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, RHLSTP. Starting with this one: What is the most impressive thing you have ever been underneath?
Chortle, 22nd July 2019A brand new show from a UK comedy stalwart...
Richard Wright presents a hilarious new hour exploring his love of the Fringe and the sacrifices he's made in the name of performing. Richard loves comedy. In fact, he loves the Fringe so much he even gave up a job to be here.
With natural charm, he extols self-acceptance and artistic fervour in this charming, funny hour of down to earth comedy.
Richard's friends see him as self-deprecating, but he always thinks of himself as an optimistic realist - is that so bad?
A truly representative slice of the Fringe, Richard celebrates hope and passion, and looks at why being the best isn't always the best option. Upbeat entertainment from one of comedy's most likable acts.
