LYME REGIS: Rich Hall comes to the Marine Theatre

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.

Rich Hall has most recently been seen wowing audiences as one of the performers at both Channel 4’s Comedy Gala at The O2, in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital, and at the comedy benefit in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust at The Royal Albert Hall.

Rich will be performing in his usual style as the grouchy, deadpan comic genius.

Looking like a Pearl Jam roadie, Rich is a 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 other TV work includes: Rich Hall’s Cattle Drive (BBC4), Rich Hall’s Fishing Show (BBC4), plus numerous appearances on the BBC panel show QI, hosted by Stephen Fry.
