Comedian Rich Hall will perform at Home Ranch Bottoms

A nationally-known comedian will perform at Home Ranch Bottoms up the North Fork Aug. 11 in a performance called “Comedy in the Woods.”

Comedian Rich Hall will make his first Polebridge appearance on the beer garden stage.

Hall is an award winning comedian, writer, documentary maker, and musician, first coming to prominence as a sketch comedian in the late 1980s. He wrote and performed for a range of networks in series such as Fridays, Not Necessarily the News, Otis Lee Crenshaw and Saturday Night Live.

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 is renowned for his expertly crafted tirades and quick fire banter with audiences. Hall is known in the United States for appearing and writing on the original The David Letterman Show for which he won two Emmy Awards. He was a writer and cast member on Saturday Night Live’s 10th season and have appeared several times on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Late Night David Letterman, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. He was also a regular on Not Necessarily the News and his famous ‘sniglets’ segment was eventually compiled into two books.

Gates will open at 5 p.m. for dinner exclusively for Comedy in the Woods ticket holders and the show will start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 and available on-line and at the Home Ranch Bottoms. No vehicle reservations are needed to access its location at 8950 North Fork Road.
