Home Ranch Bottoms hosts Comedy in the Woods

The Home Ranch Bottoms in Polebridge, Montana recently announced its biggest event of the summer, Comedy in the Woods, planned for Friday, Aug. 11. Comedian Rich Hall will make his first Polebridge appearance on the beer garden stage surrounded by the beauty of the North Fork Valley.

This will be the only ticketed event of the summer, 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 online and at the Home Ranch Bottoms. No vehicle reservations are needed to access the location at 8950 North Fork Road.

Rich 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.

Rich Hall quit his job as a hurricane namer for the United States Meteorological Service decades ago, and hasn’t looked back. Spending most of his time in London, he likes to lay into his fellow countrymen and life across the pond at every opportunity.

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. A comedian who’s plain spoken growling indignation and acerbic observations have an unerring talent for hitting his targets with precision every time, leaving his audience hanging on every word and winning him fans all over the globe. Hall has been described as a transatlantic messenger lampooning each country he visits with his common sense, and he is no less harsh to his homeland.

Rich is well 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 tenth 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.

“We have been having a blast bringing music events to the Bottoms and thought why not bring the first ever Comedy in the Woods to the remote North Fork valley,” Home Ranch Bottoms partner Danny Freund explained. “Rich brings the laughs, guests bring the lawn chairs, and we’ll provide the rest.”
