Deadpan, blunt-as-a-mallet Rich Hall is a proud repeat offender at the Comedy Festival (either as himself or his guitar-strumming alter ego, Otis Lee Crenshaw).

Deadpan, blunt-as-a-mallet Rich Hall is a proud repeat offender at the Comedy Festival (either as himself or his guitar-strumming alter ego, Otis Lee Crenshaw).

Since he last regaled us with his comic presence, he’s performed at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, recorded a CD, appeared in yet another BBC TV series, Rich Hall’s Dirty South and released another book, Magnificent Bastards.

Looking like a Pearl Jam roadie, Rich is a master of absurdist irony and the political pundit of choice for those who like a joke with their latest tax hike. The Simpsons’ creator, Matt Groening, revealed he was the inspiration for the character of Moe Szyslak. He particularly likes to lay into Americans.

 

Rich Hall performs at RMIT’s Capitol Theatre and at The Hi-Fi from April 2 – April 10. At the Capitol Theatre it’s at 8.30pm on Sunday and Monday and 9pm from Wednesday – Saturday. At The Hi-Fi it’s at 7pm on Tuesday. Tickets are $26.50 – $35 and available through Ticketmaster online, 1300 660 013 and at the door.
