Rich Hall’s HoedownSunday 24th September

Rich Hall’s critically acclaimed newshow comes to The Muni Theatrewhen there has never been a bettertime to be an American comedianin the UK.

Hall’s precision dismantling ofthe tenuous relationshipbetween two countries is asfreewheeling and deadlyaccurate as ever.

His BBC Four documentaries -Rich Hall’s Countrier Than Youand Rich Hall’s PresidentialGrudge Match - and BBC Radio 4series Rich Hall’s (US Election)Breakdown have built him a newlegion of followers, as has hisappearances on Have I Got NewsFor You and QI. But if you’ve only everseen Hall on TV, you’ve short-changedyourself.

The Hoedown begins as a withering dissectionof Trump’s America, but ends up being acelebration of Americana.

There’s stand-up, improvised ballads, cracking goodmusicianship and ultimately an hilarious, foot-stomping goodtime to be had by all - even if you don’t own a hoe!
