Description

We spend one third of our lives asleep. But 100% of human creative output features people who are awake. Richard aims to redress that balance. For over 30 years, he's been mesmerising audiences worldwide simply watching him asleep on stage. Now famed documentarian Julio Hotwaterbottle presents an exclusive interview with Richard to find out what makes his alarm clock tick. What does it mean for a man to be asleep on stage? Is it a comedy show? 'A sleeper hit!' (The Sleepy Times). 'zzzzz' (Alphabet Weekly). One third of acclaimed sketch group Planet Caramel.
