Hosted on The British Comedy Guide, the podcasts are interviews with notable guests, usually fellow comedians.

From Series Three onwards all episodes of the show were released in both audio and video format – initially as a paid download, then free on YouTube.

Since Series Seventeen, Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast has been recorded on tour at different venues and, as such, has been referred to only by the acronym title of RHLSTP.

[9] Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood has also heralded the Leicester Square Theatre Podcast citing it as one of his cultural highlights in The Guardian.

From series 21 onwards this was replaced by a theme performed and specifically composed for the show by Scant Regard, the solo project of musician Will Crewdson.
