British Comedy Guide Recommended Show, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022

‘The territory where you feel ‘I shouldn’t be laughing at this, but I am’ can be dangerous to play in, comedically, but it’s where Richard lives.’ (Scotsman)

‘Brown is a breed that’s increasingly rare in mainstream circles of comedy: a genuine left-wing perspective that imbues grim gags with humanism and empathy. […] for the lucky few that share his misanthropic mindset, this is a comedy goldmine.’ (List)

As seen/heard on BBC Scotland and BBC Sounds.
