He's a count...ry boy...

Last night ended up being such a good one, seeing Rich Hall the American comedian, writer and musician. He's often seen on QI, Have I got News For You and performed alongside Jack Dee. He did stand-up in his own ironic style for the first half then stormed the place in the second half with his character based (Otis Lee Crenshaw) pi$$-take out of country songs, playing the keyboard along with his deliberately sombre band. He won an award for this and it's easy to see why. His songs and part improvised songs about women, whisky and members of the audience were pure genius and hilarious. We had such a good night, would see him all over again as long as we can sit somewhere where there wasn't a constant smell of sulphurhuric logs from some fat blokes ass.
