Steve Hewlett And Friends: Thinking Inside The Box
Rich Hall
Ventriloquist Steve Hewlett, fresh from
his arresting appearance on Britain’s Got
Talent, is invading the Halls with his hilarious
friends.
Rich Hall’s critically acclaimed grouchy,
deadpan style has established him as a
master of absurdist irony and the king
of rapid-fire wit. The award-winning
Montana native, renowned for his expertly
crafted tirades and quick-fire banter with
audiences, saddles up and hitches his
wagon to tour the British Isles once again.
Perrier (Edinburgh Comedy Festival)
Award and Barry (Melbourne International
Comedy Festival) Award winner Hall
has been described as a transatlantic
messenger lampooning each country he
visits with his common sense, and he is no
