OTIS LEE CRENSHAW
The bourbon-soaked jailbird Otis Lee Crenshaw was created by Emmy awar--winning comic Rich Hall in 1998.
A singer-songwriter, Crenshaw conforms to the worst stereotypes of American trash, hailing from Tennessee and leaving a string of broken marriages - all to women named Brenda.
He was nominated for the Chortle award for best character, sketch or variety act in 2003, and for best touring comic in 2002
Already a celebrated stand-up comedian of exceptional class when he created Otis in 1998, Rich Hall has since gone on to truly make a stand with one of the most enjoyable comedy acts of the past ten years. A perfect fusion of music and comedy, Otis Lee Crenshaw has been charming sell-out audiences each year throughout the UK (on tour), and at major comedy festivals the world over, including Adelaide, Melbourne and his regular sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.
''An inspired comic creation - Unmissable'' (Independent)
''Rich Hall's rapid-fire wit is so spontaneous he should leave his brain to science'' (Guardian)
