Richard Herring 'Talking Cock', Nottingham Playhouse, 12 May 2013

Billed as Herring's answer to the Vagina Monologues this show comes with a rather unnecessary warning "May contain knob gags".

When the tickets went on sale for some strange reason C was not interested and suggested it might be a fun extra birthday present for our son Ben. And it was.

Herring is a consummate performer. He produced gag after gag, non-stop, for 50 minutes which seemed like 10. Plenty of laughs; a woman behind us was practically wetting herself throughout.

The show after the interval was a bit more of a talk about cocks and and therefore had slightly fewer laughs, but he informed and surprised us, as well as making some excellent points.

I shall definitely go see him again (whatever the subject matter!).
