I stopped off at the Peace Gardens - a memorial straddling the US-Canadian border commemorating ''Lasting Peace Between America and Canada'', as if there had ever been a problem. Show me a garden commemorating Peace Between America and, say, Iraq and I''ll be impressed. America is like a beauty contestant. It''s gorgeous, until it opens its mouth.''From the similarities between US gun laws and British drinking hours, to what cryptic crosswords really tell us about the British psyche, American in London Rich Hall casts a keen eye on the lunatic contradictions and weird marvels of his native and adoptive homelands.''Full of acute left-field reflections on America and Americans, plus some marvellously irreverent sketches ...wise, witty and strangely true'' GUARDIAN

The memoir of Otis Lee Crenshaw, Rich Hall''s Perrier Award-winning alter ego''My Old Man''s name was Jack Daniels Crenshaw. No surprise what he liked to drink. As a very small child I remember teething - cryin'' out savagely for relief. Eventually he would appear over my crib and rub Jack Daniels on his gums until he fell asleep.'' Married six times, all to women named Brenda, Otis Lee Crenshaw''s bourbon-fuelled odyssey takes him from the high mountains of East Tennessee to the bottom of the music charts. A man not above faking his own death to sell more records, this is his not quite true story of romance, recidivism, country music, and an unshakeable belief in Marriage at First Sight.

''An uproariously funny collection of true stories from one of the comedy greats'' - BILL BAILEY''I loved this book. Absolutely adored it. I devoured it and savoured every word. A wild and wonderful love letter to comedy'' - ADAM HILLS''It''s rare for comedians to be as funny on paper as they are on stage, but Rich Hall nails it'' - CARL HIAASENA collection of hilarious and often absurd epiphanies in the legendary comedian''s life that defined him - more in a for worse than for better kind of way - and all delivered in his unique deadpan style. Growing up, Rich Hall aspired to be a writer, and after school he trained to be a journalist. But after a stint at the Knoxville News Sentinel in Tennessee, he found himself trying to impress a girl by doing a one-man show in a state university campus in Kansas, armed with a bucket, a loudhailer and some dog biscuits. It wasn''t exactly a triumph, and he didn''t get the girl, but he had found his true calling.Nailing It is a collection of true stories from both Hall''s professional and personal life where he really had to nail it. They''re not about glitz, or fame, or how he met his seventh wife at the rehab clinic and found spiritual direction. None of that happened to him.They''re about accidentally melting Kraft cheese at his first Edinburgh Fringe Festival, alienating an entire convention of RV holiday-makers in Las Vegas, singing The Who''s ''You Better You Bet'' at a charity gig and turning his performance into a legendary rock ''n'' roll disaster, and attempting to seduce Karen, which must have been successful because she is now his wife. And other such escapades.Hall doesn''t always come out of them all covered in glory - far from it - but if someone propped him up at the end of the comedy bar and put a 50p coin in him, these are the tunes he would spin. And you''d be laughing all night.

Comedian Rich Hall takes an acerbic look across the pond at US politics, from the closing stages of the 2016 election to the 2020 race for the White House‘I could listen to Hall for ever. His laconic, hilarious intelligence and beautiful use of language is always a delight’ Miranda Sawyer, The ObserverWelcome to Washington D.C.''s favourite political phone-in show, as multi award-winning comedian (and American citizen) Rich Hall and a selection of comedians from both sides of the Atlantic reflect on the latest political events in the United States.Using a combination of stand-up, sketch and interview, Rich Hall’s US Breakdown broadcasts live from the fictional IBBC network in Washington to the whole of America, as Rich and his producer Nick Doody take calls from every corner of the country to hear the concerns of voters and give us their take on the issues troubling the US electorate.Speaking to American pundits, comics and the man on the street, the series guides us through the chaotic circus of a presidential race and offers an insight into the unfolding drama of Donald Trump’s presidency. Hall muses on Trump’s first 60 days in office, and first 12 months, breaks down the result of the US midterms and weighs up the relative merits of the candidates seeking the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2020.Enlightening, entertaining and engaging, Rich Hall’s sardonic, satirical take on the state of his nation will appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in US politics.Production creditsWritten and presented by Rich Hall and Nick DoodyWith Lewis MacLeod, Debra Stephenson, Mike Wilmot, Karen Bartke, Andrew Maxwell, Jess Robinson, Lewis Black, Alex Edelman, Charlie Wolf, David Feldman, Jena Friedman, Freya Parker, Desiree Burch, Emma Sidi, Jen KirkmanAdditional material by Ben Partridge, Robin Morgan, Sarah Campbell, Gráinne Maguire, Jenny Laville, James Kettle, Laura Major, Mike ShephardProduced by Joe NunneryIndependence Day special produced by Matt StrongeA BBC Studios productionFirst broadcast BBC Radio 4: 19 October-9 November 2016, (Series 1), 22 March 2017 (Special: 60 Days of Trump), 18 January 2018 (Special: 12 Months of Trump), 22 November 2018 (Special: Midterms), 4 July 2019 (Special: Independence Day), 28 November 2019, 1 December 2019
