Richard Herring has released a teaser trailer for his new internet series, The Meaning Of Life.

Having side-stepped the restrictions of broadcasters and commissioners in his award-winning podcasts, Herring will soon release a six-part stand-up show through independent DVD distributors Go Faster Stripe.

They will be filmed monthly at the Leicester Square Theatre in London.

The Meaning Of Life aims to tackle the universe’s big questions: Is there a God? What happens to us when we die? What is love, anyway? Why are we here? Is there really good and evil? Why is Paddy McGuinness on my telly?

Speaking to Giggle Beats about his latest internet project, Herring said that he hopes the show “will be edited and made as close to TV standard as we can manage.”

However, like the latest series of his Sony award-winning Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, Herring stressed that he is banking on fans to fund the series through online subscription.

“It will involve a lot of work from me so I can’t really afford to give it out for free,” he said.

“It’s hard to convince people to pay for downloads, but my audience, like my guests, know my motivation is to make good stuff rather than make money.”
