Met Rich Hall in Memphis. I worked at the local newspaper. I found them to be highly intelligent and incredibly funny. I’m so glad to see that he has found a niche in Britain and a wonderful wife and family. This guy is truly Mensa material. Britain’s gain is the US’s loss.
Hes got a point about us. I remember working somewhere and it was literally on fire and being evacuated. I had a customer come to me and ask what was going on. I explained it was on fire and we had to evacuated his response was "Shall I pop back in an hour?"
I was in Gatwick airport once when the fire alarm went off. It was awkward: you're not supposed to stop to gather your stuff when evacuating, but you're also not supposed to leave stuff unattended in an airport. After weighing the options I gathered my stuff, followed the evacuation route signs, and realised I was alone. Everyone else was merrily ignoring the blaring alarm.

I saw Rich Hall at Mornington Cresent storage (South Camden Town), I was doing a house move and needed stuff in temp storage and he was there for something similar. A real nice, genuine guy. Circa 2006 / 2007 maybe.
Rich Hall analyzing Brits to bits, while he's the American variant of stiff upper lip. While being one of the best comedians in Britain I don't think I've ever seen him laugh. A wee smile for someone elses brilliant joke, yes. But here, at 3:30, is the moment it happens! Love it!
I read his book "Things Snowball" in a cafe in Thailand. I was laughing so hard the rest of the diners joined in. I had to just pay up and leave before I finished my meal.
I think the best way to compare UK to the US is how each country reacts to massacres. After Dunblane we banned all guns. US they taught kids how to survive active shooter incidents. 🤷♀️

That’s not true. Basically all firearms were banned in the UK under the 1968 gun control act. The post dunblane legislation simply removed whatever shred of self defence rights that were left over. (It related to handguns & gun storage.)
I remember how ppl were getting to the point where we all strongly believed the "terror threat" would only go up from Friday to Sunday for freaking years!! So ppl gradually thought it was silly and absurd so we refused to listen and obey.

Honest, I was in the UK in the 80's when the IRA blew up an Army recruiting office in the town I was staying. At the time the bomb went off I was being transported by a friends wife to the railway station. Bricks and dust were blown out into the road in front of us and she just slowed down steering between the bricks and continued on to the station. She said "If I stopped we'd be held up all day" 8:(
I'm going to assume Rich Hall went to see Henry Rollins the month after the London bombings the same as me. Because the colored alert/bus late joke was straight from Henry's spoken word tour.

To any overseas watchers on here-do you really, from a cultural point of view, see us as being THAT emotionally suppressed (apart from football games and political protests that is)? 😆
Yes! I once got a written notice at work after snapping when Compliance incompetents kept making errors copying my home bank account number from an _email_ (manually, I suppose). Because of those errors they could not get proper investment reports from my home bank and therefore half a year after joining I was flagged as non-compliant. Working in Finance it could mean losing my job and getting severely sanctioned. After the announcement of the written notice by some department director in a sit-down, I demanded a sit-down with the Compliance department in question to explain why I snapped (telling them I should not have but not unconditionally apologising) and the newly hired manager apologised instead, promising it won't happen again, explaining it was understaffed. The written notice however stuck for one year and was then removed from my file. Not really though, I guess as I'm sure they probably don't want to experience that emotional Continental ever again. (edit)PS: those investment reports would have been blank, by the way.
Ha! I've been living in Newcastle for six years now and nothing scares you guys more than a strongly worded letter. You guys ain't so tough ;-P (Southern lass)
Rich Hall works well in Britain because he gets our sense of dry humour and sarcasm.
His humour works in Aus too.
I often wonder what his countrymen think of him.

Brilliantly funny man, we’ve seen him live and came out with our sides aching. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
He looks like Moe from the simpsons.
He is.
Seem to recall that Moe was based on him.
He even says that in his act.

sounds like him too
Rich Hall’s documentary ‘How the West Was Lost’ is brilliant and worth seeing
Wasn’t it tho
