RICH HALL (Wolves Civic, 9/11/08)

03-05-2008

Is there a top name comedian who isn’t at the Civic Hall this year? Steve Coogan, Jimmy Carr….and now US king of deadpan Rich Hall.

With his acid political insights and raw profanity, Hall is the true inheritor of Bill Hicks biting observational humour – he also apparently provided Matt Groening with the inspiration for Mo the grouch bartender in The Simpsons.

Not bad for a bloke who used to be a hurricane namer for the US Meteorological Service until he quit eighteen years ago.

Since then, he’s never looked back winning an Emmy for writing on The David Letterman Show, and taking the Perrier Award in the guise of his ex-con C&W character Otis Lee Crenshaw.
