Comedy genius Rich Hall hits Tralee stage

Wednesday March 10 2010

IT'S a good time to be comedy fan in Kerry at the moment.

Just two weeks ago the brilliant Dara Ó Briain performed a great show in the INEC and now acclaimed comedian Rich Hall will entertain audiences with his amazing stand-up show at Siamsa Tire on this Friday March 12.

Star of the recent critically acclaimed BBC4 documentary, How the West Was Lost, Edinburgh fringe favourite and Perrier Award winner, Rich Hall is back on the road performing in his usual style as the grouchy, deadpan comic genius.

The master of absurdist irony, he particularly likes to lay into Americans and life across the Pond at every opportunity. As Rich Hall the stand-up, he has visited the Edinburgh Fringe Festival several times and performed at the major comedy clubs in Britain and across the world.

He is well known in the United States for appearing and writing on The David Letterman Show - for which he won an Emmy Award.

Rich Hall has been charming sell-out audiences each year at the Edinburgh Festival, on tours throughout the UK, at several festivals in Australia including Adelaide and Melbourne and at London's famous Comedy Store.

At the 2000 Edinburgh Festival, 'Rich Hall is Otis Lee Crenshaw' won the highly prestigious Perrier Award. Rich Hall's TV work includes; Rich Hall's Cattle Drive (BBC4), Rich Hall's Fishing Show (BBC4) plus numerous appearances on BBC2 panel show QI, hosted by Stephen Fry.
