Review: Rich Hall, The Platform, Morecambe
Published Date:
30 September 2008
THE audience at Rich Hall's gig was nothing if not diverse.
Near the front was a weaver who makes headscarves for women in the Middle East.
Then there was the group of booksellers who the American comic also involved in his one man stand up routine.
His gentle interaction with the audience including a collection of friendly hecklers was the highlight of Thursday night.
He's been to Morecambe a couple of times before and his return was a real treat.
He went into some familiar rants about America and President Bush, but was at his best when reacting to the audience and going off on a stream-of-consciousness tangent.
In the second half Otus Lee Crenshaw made an appearance, singing his politically incorrect country and western songs.
Rich is a familiar face on TV now with regular appearances on BBC's QI.
But on stage his sheer cleverness and warmth come through.
