The blurb from his latest show reads:

'Going through a mid-life crisis, Richard is depressed and disorientated after having split up with his girlfriend, moved house and been stricken with writer's block, he resolves to take inspiration from the bust of Hercules that graces the front of his new home and perform twelve impossible or arduous labours.

In some of his tasks Herring attempts to emulate Hercules, such as dating 50 women in 50 consecutive nights, as a nod to Hercules most amazing achievement - impregnating as many women in the same time span - and attempting to steal Germaine Greer's bra, which is the closest thing in the modern world to the girdle of the Queen of the Amazons.

In other challenges he faces his own worst nightmares. Find out whether he could overcome his twin fears of heights and being splattered into the ground at tremendous speed, by learning to parachute; endure the arduous training needed to run the London Marathon; and fill the void left by the death of Norris McWhirter by learning the entire Guinness Book of Records off by heart - and being tested LIVE ON STAGE.

All this he did in the hope of giving his 37 years on this planet some kind of meaning. Will the small, fat man from Somerset prove that he is a match for the bronzed and toned Roman demi-god? Or, more likely, will he not?'
