PERRIER Award-winning comedian Rich Hall comes to Burnley Mechanics on October 5.

Star of the recent critically acclaimed BBC4 documentary, How the West Was Lost and an Edinburgh fringe favourite Hall will showcase his grouchy, deadpan style.

He’s most recently been seen on Channel 4’s Comedy Gala for Great Ormond Street Hospital and at the Comedy Benefit in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust at The Royal Albert Hall.

Despite a fondness for laying into Americans, he has won an Emmy award for his appearances on and writing for the David Letterman Show.

On this side of the pond, he has made regular appearances on the BBC2 panel show QI.

Rich Hall has also written two books - Otis Lee Crenshaw: I Blame Society and Things Snowball.
