Stand-up veteran and comedy great Rich Hall brings his latest hit show, ‘Chin Music’, and his guitar to Gala Durham on Saturday 17th October. And it’s definitely not one to miss.
Rich Hall’s unique mix of grit and gravitas, razor-sharp crowd work, and warm, weird and welcoming musical comedy is always a treat. He always impresses, and his shows are always just a little bit different. His infamous ability to read a room, roll with the punches and turn even the most misanthropic thought into smart, hilarious observations is second to none. It’s no surprise, then, that this latest tour has been dramatically expanded with new dates, or that he commands a regular audience in much the same way some country legends do.
If you’re somehow unfamiliar with Hall, he found UK fame in the late 1990s as the cantankerous country singer Otis Lee Crenshaw. Since then, he has become one of stand-up’s sharpest improvisers, building sets from little more than a heckle and his quick wit.
His television credits include QI, Have I Got News for You and Live at the Apollo, as well as his own BBC series Cattle Drive and Gone Fishing. He is also the author of the hit book Nailing It, which collects his trademark deadpan reflections and observations.
Expect an evening that blends impeccable writing, memorable music and effortless twists of the unexpected. Hall’s shows are renowned for their spontaneity, with no two performances quite the same. His distinctive musical style, razor-sharp observations and generous helping of audience interaction make for an entertaining night out.
Whether you’re already a devoted fan or discovering Rich Hall for the first time, ‘Chin Music’ promises an evening of brilliantly offbeat comedy, sharp one-liners and musical surprises. With Hall’s ability to turn everyday absurdities into hilarious material, audiences can expect the unexpected from start to finish.
For anyone looking for an evening of smart, unpredictable comedy with a musical twist, this is one date worth putting in the diary.
The show starts at 8pm and is suitable for ages 14 and over.
Tickets, priced at £18.00 in advance, are available at galadurham.co.uk.
