- In June 2015, Richard once talked down an apparent suicide jumper from the top of a 'Toys R Us' multi-storey car park, only to discover that the man was on the edge of the building attempting to summon his pet budgerigar, Dave, from a nearby church weathervane. The bird ended up flying to Richard, who fed it with leftover sushi. The bird's owner was surprisingly ungrateful.
- During the sketch show Fist of Fun, Herring would often talk about his crazed obsession with the actress Julia Sawalha. The two entered a relationship years later, although Sawalha had not seen any of these sketches.
