Rich Hall - 2016 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala 

Prophetic words... :-)

"America's ability"

Are accusing and harassing the French people of being the so called: "Aholes of the universe".. I've yet to hear a single French person claiming the TERM EUROPEANS for themselves as STUPIDLY,IGNORANTLY, and just plain SELFISHLY like the USAIANS(trademark 1997) do with the term AMERICANS. Kinda narrows it way down as to whom the REAL AHOLES MIGHT BE..

Never underestimate the lack of good sense from a sanctimonious American Liberal! Bet he can't wait for another 4 years....it's coming. LOL KAG2020

I agree totally, you can tell the difference. It's wonderful to watch him work the audience :-).

Feb, 2023 :) still hilarious

And 2024

+Clavers Odhiambo - I reckon he ad libs most of it too. That's how professional he is.

there'd be a countdown clock

Love the Rich.

David Fyfe hay ho that's comedy licence for you!

it is only comedic license if used to make something funnier, which it doesn't in this case. it's just not caring much for the detail. Trivial? yes absolutely but hey.

I'm pretty sure Hall ad libs most of his live stuff (being such a consummate professional), he delivers his material off the cuff. He's married to an English woman, so I reckon he's pretty well versed in British geography. But, as I said, he ad libs most of his live material, and, occasionally? He's going to get his words mixed up. Don't take it so personally.

@leslie graham It is also what the house assigned to the Leader of the Opposition in Canada is named for. Coincidence? I think not!

It was probably a show with a series of comics.

oh so you support the career criminal Hilary? You want abortion on demand, so you want millions of dead tortured babies, mostly minorities. TRUMP IS DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB 90% RIGHT NOW.......HIS PERSONAL LIFE HAS ZERO TO DO WITH HIS POLICIES.

Roy Lange A year later and Donald’s proven to be the most corrupt, ignorant, mentally ill, dishonest, self serving, criminalistics President in the last century, and that’s spectacularly hard because there have been some mighty douchebags in the Oval Office over the last century. And yes, with everything wrong with Hillary, she would still have been a hundred times better than Donald.

Bill Burr is not a brilliant comedian, by ANY stretch of the imagination. There's a reason that so many US comedians don't venture out beyond the US scene, because it's a harsh world on the international comedy circuit, and most American comedians wouldn't last very long, so they stay in the 'safe haven' of America. Hall is one of the most brilliant comedians America has EVER produced, he is absolutely world class (and at the top of that class), and he had the guts to leave the US and actually establish an international profile completely removed from the 'safety net' of the US scene on EVERY level. In fact? He's been largely rejected by the US scene. He's faaar more talented than practically ANY other comedian the US has produced. Perhaps with the exception of Hicks, Carlin, Murphy and Prior. Could you honestly put Burr up against this guy on the same stage with an international audience? This is one of the yearly world-class international comedy festivals (one of the biggest in the world, even though most US comedians have NEVER heard of it), and Hall has been a staple since the early 90's. Burr has NEVER appeared at the festival and has only done a handful of private gigs in Australia, preaching to the converted about his hatred for anything beyond his extremely narrow view of the world. Even Hicks did the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in the early 90's (unfortunately, Hicks was actually diagnosed with cancer in Australia whilst he was doing the festival, which eventually took his life). Make no mistake, Rich Hall flies the flag for STRONG/WORLD-CLASS comedy from an AMERICAN perspective. The guy should be a national fucking treasure in the US, but instead? Bill Burr takes the honor...pfffft!

Leisha Young get OVER yourself. People enjoy who they enjoy . Bill burr is hilarious. No one made you the world comedy judge

+matt cullen - sorry, he's absolute trash by world standards, and fast becoming the most irrelevant comedian on the circuit. You're right that I'm not the 'world comedy judge', but, be honest with yourself, he doesn't cut it anymore...I'm not sure he EVER did. His demographic is moderate and shrinking by the day. Let me ask you something...do you HONESTLY believe that Burr even comes close to Hall? I mean, really? Really? When it comes to TRUE talent?

Leisha Young just because rich hall has been around loonger or has traveled around the world more doesn't make him funnier. He appeals more to british and Australian people because he sells out on his own country to do so. Most men will tell you burr is far funnier. That probably wont tell you brcause they are scared of upsetting a female and as we all know burr offends alot of females. But fuck it. Im not a guy who cares about females feelings. Burr tells it how it is in a hillarious way. Success in comedy is like success in any industry. Its continued hard work and touring even if you dont feel like it. Rich grinds away whether he feels like it or not. Burr is sucessful enough to not have to go far. Continued Success on the world scene is more about work than anything

Ah! Here we go, scratch the surface, and the animal appears: - "He appeals more to British and Australian people because he "sells out" his own country" - I would argue he is OBJECTIVE about his own country. You see, when you come from a Liberal society? Expressing your opinion about your country, and its potential failings? Is not "selling out", it's merely expressing a constitutional right...otherwise known as? An OPINION; just like Burr does...yes? He likes to express his OPINIONS freely, yes? - "Most men will tell you burr is far funnier" (I'd like the statistics on that). "That probably wont tell you brcause they are scared of upsetting a female and as we all know burr offends alot of females. But fuck it. I'm not a guy who cares about females feelings" - surprise! Surprise! The reason you 'rate' Burr so highly is because he "offends alot" (that's 'a lot'), of females, and you are not "a guy who cares about females" (that's female's) "feelings". I'm SO shocked by this admission. - "Burr tells it how it is in a hillarious way" - That's 'hilarious', and he 'tells it how it is'? According to who? You? And men who think like you? Well there's a whole other world of people out there who DON'T feel that Burr "tells it how it is" - do they count? Or is it just YOUR PEOPLE who get to decide "how it is"? "Success in comedy is like success in any industry. Its continued hard work and touring even if you dont (don't) feel like it. Rich grinds away whether he feels like it or not. Burr is successful (successful) enough to not have to go far. Continued Success on the world scene is more about work than anything" - Firstly I would argue that YOU don't get to define success anymore than you get to define what "most men' find funny, as success is defined by the person pursuing it, but I must also thank you for clarifying my point. Hall seeks out quality; to challenge himself and to reach a world audience, where as Burr seeks out the 'easy' road to success, by appealing to the lowest common denominator to stuff his bank account whilst 'the sands pass through the hour glass' of his 'relevance'. So, thank you for proving my point, Burr pursues the easy road to success in the American scene, whilst Hall seeks to be the best he can be in his chosen field because he cares about what he does and doesn't just do it for a pay check. I know what comedian I'd prefer to be parting with my hard-earned for...
