Ally and Herring cover the death of the star of Crocodile Dundee, the lady who had sex with 100 men in 16 hours, the lady who likes to spit on men's members and the man who likes to shoot people he doesn't like in the back.

Twitch of Fun has gone live, in front of a studio audience, full of countless fans (if you're unable to count over 60). In an impressively unprepared show on a very slow news day, Rich and Ally and the puppets that could fit in Richard's bag discuss the world's loneliest tortoise, the hands of Prince Charles, the world's most vengeful elephant, whether 52 year old men exist, why the Duke of York couldn't go to the Order of the Garter meeting and whether it's time to forgive and forget, America's favourite vegetable and whether AI has become sentient. Plus we will find out if Heidi is real, wish Terri a happy birthday, discover why tonight's show has prevented multiple crimes and find out if Sibyl's predictions for Birmingham and Paddy McGuinness came true.

To sponsor Rich for Movember head to http://rhlstp.co.uk/movember Comedy.co.ukWe get an exciting glimpse behind the scenes tonight as the team go into depth about Ian Pfizer, Trump's coup, the sacking of Superman and people who marry serial killers. There's a new character who is definitely not recycled and a new old character too. Cocky Carrot can't do his job, but has to carry on considering what or who he is and Donkey has the shock of his life. If he had ears, they would fall off. All this in the tightest scripted hour and a quarter of topical news available in the world today.

It's November 5th 2020 and it's publication day for Richard's book and in celebration he is donating all his November earnings to charity (including all Twitch subs and badge money) - if you enjoy his free streams then bung some money to Movember here http://rhlstp.co.uk/movember The US is in turmoil and second lockdown has begun, but the real problem is Rich's equipment fucking up and general lack of preparation ending in calamity. But along the way Rich manages to offend Brian Wasp again, whilst literally laughing in his face, Cocky Carrot has to consider the nature of his soul (as well as react to ever innuendo) and the greatest love story of all time Sally and Prince Andrew hits a rocky patch. For a moment Rich forgets that the characters can't talk on their own. Also off the top of your head can you think of funny people to get married if they are going to hyphenate their surnames (cos Rich can't), who is the funny man and who is the straight man. There's a surprise genii behind the magic button and whatever you think of the rest of it, it's worth hanging around for the closing credits. What does a programme associate do again?
