| Talking Cock...Richard Herring bares all! | |
|  | | Would you Adam 'n Eve it? |
| | Richard Herring, he of BBC2's Fist of Fun, This Morning with Richard not Judy and writer of a shed load of the Al Murray sit-coms Time Gentlemen Please, has put pen to paper and produced the alarmingly funny Talking Cock... |

| |  Funny, humiliating, impassioned and weird in equal parts. If we gave stars, he'd have lots...Splendid! | The Guardian |
(We spoke to Richard...'n this is what he said >>) |
Richard Herring is a standup, a writer and now something of an expert on part of the male anatomy. He's doing a double whammy in Cambridge where not only can you catch him at Waterstone's waxing lyrical about his new book, but also larger than life on stage at the Junction.
So what's the story...
It has been known by many different names to many different people: knob, dick, tool, percy, John Thomas, the bald headed mouse...
And it has meant different things to different  | | Richard does some low-down research for the sake of Mankind... |
cultures; to the Ancient Greeks the penis was worshipped and people paraded the streets with six foot high phalluses, to early Christians it was the Devil's Rod, a thing of evil that must be hidden away at all times, to the people of the 1980's the funniest thing imaginable was a wicked cartoon Willie that could speak. How times change.
It inspires lust, fear, awe and laughter. And yet, it is an object of shame and when engorged, indecency. It can be a pound of flesh or an ounce of winkles. It can be used to express both love and hate. It can create life. It can condemn us to death...And it can do wees as well.
How can one little flap of sponge and sinew be all these things? You will be surprised at how little you know about the skin chimney, because although men may constantly brag and exaggerate about their little chap, they rarely talk about their feelings for it. At last, Richard Herring, reveals the truth about man and his manhood in the 21st Century.
