  • Richard has written an article about Eccentric Oxford Walking Tours for the 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.

    A fascinating tour – packed full of facts, stories & characters – informative, entertaining, funny, yet never skimps on the proper history. It’s difficult to imagine how a walking tour could be better than this.
