Has Adolf Hitler ruined that moustache for everyone? Is it possible to reclaim the toothbrush moustache for comedy? After all Chaplin had it first.
Richard Herring returns to Chapter to film his latest show, which finds out how people respond to this contentious face furniture in the 21st Century.
Will they understand what he is doing, or just assume he's mentally ill or a fascist or both? Will the toothbrush ‘tache actually make him evil? Or might it take him from the tiny beer cellars he currently plays to stadium gigs with thousands of adoring fans chanting his name?
It's a show that examines iconography, the way we judge and are judged, the dangers of political apathy, the point where comedy and madness touch and the very ethics of such a comedy stunt? Is it worth Herring upsetting strangers, risking physical and psychological damage and ruining his parent's Golden Wedding photos for the sake of a stand up show?
