Richard Herring: Menage a Un

About This Movie

So, Richard Herring: Menage a Un is this rather raw and honest exploration of midlife malaise, you know? It’s part stand-up, part diary, with Herring navigating the absurdity of aging while still clinging to his signature humor—lots of monkey semen jokes, oddly enough. The pacing is a bit uneven, which adds to that feeling of a guy trying to figure things out. You can feel the weight of his thoughts juxtaposed against the hilarity, making it quite engaging. The themes of love, loneliness, and the absurdity of life resonate underneath all that comedy. It’s not polished, but that’s kind of the charm. A real peek into his psyche, if you’re into that kind of personal humor.
