David Mitchell - "A Special Place in Hell"

About this episode

Richard Herring interviews David Mitchell, discussing various comedic topics and emergency questions.

RHLSTP #612 - A Special Place in Hell - Rich has an apology to make regarding bird genitals. His guest is RHLSTP favourite David Mitchell. There’s lots of rarely if ever asked emergency questions and chat about John Kearns’ eight stone rabbit, a joke about Ludwig that one listener will enjoy, returning to sketch shows and whether this might see the return of another nineties double act, what it’s like to work on Rick and Morty (if you don’t know anything about it), the easiest audiobook job of all time, some chat about what the Hell Satan is up to and a new take on It’s a Knockout. It’s a delight as you can imagine, but which person would Richard bring back from the dead? If you can think of it then you’re as bad as him. SUPPORT THE SHOW!
