Rich Hall SOLD OUT: TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE (Off The Kerb)
By Bruce Blacklaw | Published on Friday 19 August 2022
The inimitable Rich Hall drawl is back at the Fringe for the first time in six years. And he’s in fine form too, with the usual mix of acerbic observations, gags and silly songs. His reflections on coming out of lockdown, returning to comedy in small-town America are laden with rich tall tales (and form the basis of a belting finale), as well as some typically laconic reflections on the ideological divide in the US. He’s a little less convincing on British politics, regarding it as harmless theatre compared with the American stuff (admittedly we’re not yet at the armed insurrection stage but still, bit glib). All in, though, a cracking hour with one of the masters of his art.
Assembly Rooms, until 28 Aug.
