Richard has an article about the Eccentric Oxford Walking Tours on UK comedy website Chortle

However, there is a stronger limitation capping my material: the requirement to only tell the truth – quite a restriction for any stand-up. Frequently stand-ups punctuate their set-ups with liberal sprinklings of “and this is absolutely true…”, thus inadvertently signalling to the comedy literate that the opposite may be more likely. Although I can deliver inventive jokes, these can only follow dispensed historical truths. While everyone knows they are aboard for a comedy ride, audiences wouldn’t expect me to skimp on the proper history.

We also present our own original Oxford Treasure Hunt. Just like the Eccentric Oxford Tour, the Town & Gown Tours Treasure Hunt makes an ideal team building exercise, entertaining corporate event or innovative birthday treat or, like a private tour, it’s just a fun thing to do with a few friends. Do ask if you’d like more details. We can tailor the duration to fit your requirements. Plus we’ll provide assistance on the day, and present Oxford themed prizes - so please contact richard@oxfordwalks.co.uk for additional info.

Contented clients of the tours and treasure hunt already include the Institute of Actuaries and the British Medical Association.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the tours thus far, and we truly appreciate the abundantly kind comments we’ve received.
