The grouchy comedian, and panel show star of programmes such as BBC's QI and Never Mind The Buzzcocks, brought a unique combination of comedy and music to the venue –– leaving theatre-goers rolling in the aisles.

His show was split into two parts, the first of which featured him doing a stand-up routine –– while in the second half he was joined on stage by two musicians to perform as musical alter-ego, Otis Lee Crenshaw.

Hall's familiar, dead-pan style was on top form throughout and, with the vast majority of observational jokes based on British culture, it was clear the comedian had tailored his act to suit the audience.

A number of bitterly self-depricating gags about being American also crept into the routine, but most of which where so brilliantly astute and cutting it was hard to care about the fact that one or two were a little too reminiscent of his previous stand-up routines.

The real highlight of the show, however, was the musical second half. With Hall playing his familiar country and western singer caricature, Otis Lee Crenshaw, he managed to keep audiences laughing throughout a good 40 minutes of musical parodies.

Hall's audience interaction also made the show stand out, regularly breaking to banter with audience members and show off his improvisational ability to hilarious effect.

In all, Rich Hall put on an impressive and highly entertaining show, which was definitely enjoyed by everyone present and well worth tracking down next time the Yank is in town.
