Otis Lee Crenshaw Image "" Otis Lee Crenshaw was created in
1998 by Rich Hall.


Otis is a redneck jailbird from Tennessee,
who has been married seven times, all to
women named Brenda.


A singer-songwriter, Otis writes bourbon-soaked, Tom Waitsian tunes and blends this with audience banter, producing a perfect fusion of music and comedy.

Since then, Otis Lee Crenshaw has been charming sell-out audiences each year at the Edinburgh Festival, throughout the UK (on tour), at several festivals in Australia including Adelaide and Melbourne and at London's famous Comedy Store, where he had a monthly slot for six months.

At the Edinburgh Festival 2000, 'Rich Hall is Otis Lee Crenshaw' won the highly prestigious Perrier Award.

Looking like a Pearl Jam roadie, Crenshaw's creator, Rich Hall, is a master of absurdist irony while eschewing the human condition. He particularly likes to lay into Americans and life across the Pond at every opportunity. As Rich Hall the stand-up, he has visited the Edinburgh Fringe Festival several times and performed at the major comedy clubs in Britain and across the world. He is well known in the United States for appearing and writing on The David Letterman Show - Rich pocketed two Emmy Awards for his efforts.
