Richard Todd is a superb comic to watch - thoughtful, chaotic, just as at home with the surreal and the observed. It really is a treat to have him on at QL. Alongside an absolute blinder of a set, Richard also talks with host and MC James Ross about his previous wins, absurdism and grans.
If you'd like to see more of Richard and his art, you can find his website HERE, or follow him on a social medium HERE.
EDITORS NOTE: Our most eagle-eared patron Jenny was the first to spot the mistake on this episode: I uploaded the wrong set! Congratulations, Jenny, you have won 25 QL Points, which are utterly meaningless until they become a de facto currency to prove your worthiness to guard the water compound. Well done, Jenny, and sorry everyone else! The correct set is now on this episode. Also, I had a chance to rejig some of the audio. There are still pops and clicks, but fewer than there were before. Enjoy!
