Stuck on the Border
Re: Comedians
We went to see two comedians at the Opera House, Jason Byrne and Rich Hall aka Otis Lee Crenshaw.
Byrne is Irish and most of his material had to do with his family life, but there was a lot of sending up the laconic Australian accent. At 8.30 the lights went out for Earth Hour and he had to finish the show lit only by a torch that someone just happened to have with them.
Rich Hall has become a favourite of mine due to his regular appearances on the British comedy quiz show QI. He seems to spend a lot of time in Britain although he is American. He did the first part of the show as himself and then sang some satirical redneck country songs as Otis Lee Crenshaw, which I thought were brilliant. I can't say much more except one song was an ode to Bundaberg Rum, which is Australia's 'lower middle class' drink if you like. It hit home.
