Celebrity comebacks Richard herring
A troll asked Richard Herring if he was a ‘woke tosspot comedian’ and his A++ comeback had everyone applauding
The great Richard Herring was back on the stage doing stand-up at the weekend and tweeted before about how he was unexpectedly apprehensive about the whole thing.
Looking forward to this but feel like I’ve forgotten every bit of stand up I’ve ever done, including my latest show! Hopefully I can knock something together! https://t.co/Sj94HgzrYH

It hadn’t been that long since his last gig, but still …
Only 3 or so months since my last stand up gig and I feel so far away from being a comedian that it’s insane! https://t.co/ynluKjr3mf

And we mention it, not only because he’s going out on tour again next year, but because his post caught the attention of this self-confessed ‘recovering Twitter troll’ who appears to be still very much in the recovery phase.
are you one of these woke tosspot comedians like nish kumar or rosie jones or are you an old school (ie funny) comedian like Bernard Manning and Jim ‘Nick Nick’ Davidson?

And the comedian’s reply was of the A++ variety.
You’ll be fine with me. I am white and not disabled, just like you like them. https://t.co/s3kuxsZMQn

Nailed it.
This must be an attempt at a parody post or something

One would think, but then again this is twitter and the rest of the feed suggests it’s a very dedicated parody. https://t.co/s0oliK2Dj7
