COMEDY fans are in for a treat when American stand-up legend Rich Hall performs at Stockton’s ARC in November.

Tickets are now on sale for the grouchy deadpan comic who is loved by millions of comedy fans thanks to a string of top TV credits including Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, QI and Channel 4’s Comedy Gala.

Renowned for his tirades and rapid-fire wit, he has performed all over the world, winning the much coveted Perrier and Melbourne International Comedy Festival awards along the way.

And, away from stand-up, he has starred in BBC4 documentaries including Rich Hall’s Californian Stars and Rich Hall’s Inventing the Indian.

Graham Ramsay, of promoters Ten Feet Tall, said: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone as quick on his feet up there on the stage and this is a great chance to see him in an intimate setting.”

The show takes place Friday, November 18 at 8pm. Tickets, costing £16, are on sale now from the box office on 01642-525199 or www.arconline.co.uk
