The critically-acclaimed cranky Yank, the master of improvisation and audience banter, maestro of off-the-cuff musical comedy ballads and steadfast hero of the comedy scene – US comedian Rich Hall – is coming back to town. After a massive Barry Award win at the 2013 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Rich brings his new hour of stand-up, 3:10 To Humour. Famous for his Ode to Bundaberg Rum, taking on Australian capital cities in song, riffing ingeniously with the audience as himself or as his redneck alter ego Otis Lee Crenshaw (not to mention being the inspiration behind Matt Groening’s character Moe Szyslak from The Simpsons), Hall is the master of absurdist irony and the king of rapid-fire wit. His plain, spoken, growling indignation and acerbic observations have an unerring talent for hitting his targets with precision every time, leaving his audience hanging on every word and winning him fans all over the globe. Many have been following the cantankerous charms of this festival veteran for years, but for those who haven’t heard his grouchy, deadpan style comedy yarns, it’s time to get on board. Come and ride with him on the 3:10 To Humour, it’s sure to be an express line to an hilarious ruckus.
