Otis Lee Crenshaw (aka Rich Hall) - is the Tennessee jailbird from a trailer-trash family so poor that blues singers used to call round when they had writers block.

quote Breathtaking social jibes as well as hilarious Country and Western pastiche. quote
Mojo Magazine

The 'poet-laureate of trailer trash' (Syndey Morning Herald), backed by the excellent Black Liars, presents the sexiest, trashiest, booziest, chicken-fried hardcore country show of all the sexy, trashy, boozy, chicken-fried country shows currently available in the UK.

Rich Hall
Otis Lee Crenshaw

In Otis Lee Crenshaw's bourbon-soaked show he'll perform brand new songs but there will be a chance to catch a few classic favourites we love from his hot, redneck cabaret. Who can forget 'Women Call It Stalking' (It's Just Selective Walking), 'He Almost Looks Like You' - a ballad about prison rape, 'Fattening Up' - a lip-smacking request for a woman as his last meal on death row and 'Fast Cars & Airplanes' a tribute to all those rock stars who have died in tragic gardening incidents.

quote The Greatest live comedian on earth. Next to Otis all other comics seem one-dimensional. quote
The Observer

Of Otis' new songs 'Are You My New Daddy Now?' and 'The Scrabble Song' ('You could have given me roses but you gave me sores!') are rapidly becoming classics.

Rich Hall has also received many awards for his live work including: The Perrier Award 2000, Time Out Comedy Award 2000 and the 2002 Grand Jury Prize at the prestigious Aspen Comedy Festival. Rich Hall has also won an Emmy for his writing and appearances on The David Letterman Show in the USA.
