  Rich Hall, The Studio - smh.com.au
Hall is a hyper-sharp cultural satirist and there's an ambivalence in his material about the world after last September, an ambivalence situated somewhere between healthy cynicism about power and the desire for a reasonable, preventative response.
Hall's show reveals the grievous error of stereotypes - in this case the hoary cliche of America as a land without irony.
While Hall, with his legible despair about the excesses of his culture and countrymen, might agree with the stereotype, his performance reveals a welcome, necessary and darkly hilarious exception.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Rich Hall - Things Snowball at Epinions.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Hall riffs with aplomb on the Bronte sisters, musical tastes, cultural divides between the U.S. and Britain, bad beer and Mormonism, as well as the general weirdness of life as we experience it.
Here, Hall describes the mundane travails he encountered that day in ways that lampoon the self absorbed; the kind of people who failed to recognize that there is a larger world outside of their own inner bubble.
It is this kind of humor (observational and edgy) that Hall succeeds at generally, but one that is an acquired taste, perhaps too intellectual for those accustomed to the “setup, punch line, laugh” comedy that is prevalent in our society.

 Rich Hall: Where in the World is Rich Hall? / TVparty
Hall was working at a club when a producer spotted him and offered him a writing job on "The David Letterman Show," an NBC morning program that would star the frequent "Tonight Show" guest host.
Hall's career chugged along after that, until the overwhelming popularity of sniglets triggered a self-imposed exile from the stage.
He also was given the task of explaining the American 2004 presidential election in "Rich Hall's Election Special." Hall has begun writing another BBC program to air in June, this one putting Hall in charge of a cattle drive.

 Rich told to talk to lobbying panel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Walter Rich, president of the New York Susquehanna andamp; Western Railway, has been ordered to give a deposition to the New York Temporary State Commission on Lobbying about yearly parties he hosts during induction weekend of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
Rich's appearance before the commission's staff has not been scheduled and may not occur for some time, according to his attorney, James Featherstonhaugh of Albany.
Grandeau said the commission began to investigate Rich as a follow-up to an investigation conducted in 2003 and 2004 by the state attorney general's and inspector general's offices.

 Hall, Gottfried give their All for SADD
Rich Hall, known for his stints on Not Necessarily the News and Saturday Night Live, opened the show.
This began Hall's best routine, in which he asked a man in the front row if he "wanted it All." If the man wanted it All, he would have to deal with the Tide, a box of which Hall thoughtfully provided.
Hall's targets also included a census routine, in which he said that "37 percent of the people did not fill out their census form." If we know how many people didn't send in their forms, he reasoned, then "somebody must've known the population in the first place!"

 Rich Hall
Hall's jokes were highly engaging, and thank the Lord, he didn't get hung up on sex which is so easy to do if you're desperately trying to get a cheap laugh.
Obviously Hall has fantastic comic timing, and he's extremely well practised, although occasionally it's difficult to hear what he's saying - he can mumble into the microphone.
He made up rhymes and anecdotes and responded to the audience effortlessly, and hardly ever seemed to be working from pre-set material (though clearly sometimes he had to be).

Rich Hall, winner of the prestigious Perrier Award at the renowned Edinburgh Festival, will be bringing his trademark dry humour and caustic wit to venues in Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney; and one show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

 Rich Hall - Reviews - www.theage.com.au
At this year's festival, Hall is Hall and with a Bush freshly re-elected to the White House office, the prickly American comedian has plenty to say.
To describe Hall as dry does not even begin to explain the scathing delivery nor the droll tone of his humour.
Part of Hall's appeal is his refusal to stick steadfastly to one topic.

In the planning for Rich Hall, we focused on designing a floor plan that would create a casual interactive flow of student traffic contributing to the overall learning-centered environment.
The planning team determined in the early stages of its discussions that inclusion of academic services and amenities such as food service and student study areas would be crucial to the success of an interactive design.
An enriching aspect of the interactive floor plan design in Rich Hall that is having an early impact is the co-location of several support offices and services.

 “groovy mother” :: Fringe Review: Rich Hall
I've been a big fan of Rich Hall for years, but his show can be hit or miss depending on the night, his mood, the audience, or the weather.
While his interaction with the 11-year-old in the front row (and his father, but not mother) was entertaining, the show sagged towards the end when Rich seemed to be desparately reaching into the audience to find any inspiration to cap the night.
In the end, while there were some great gags, it just felt a bit like watching any American stand-up.
