Beer ad inspires Auchtermuchty festival
A NEW comedy festival inspired by an advert featuring Rich Hall is being launched today in Auchtermuchty.
The Fife town was mentioned in a beer advert showing the American comedian in the countryside wearing a fox hat.
Hall says: "When I told the folks back home I was coming to Auchtermuchty, they said wear the fox hat."
Glaswegian comedian Bruce Morton will be master of ceremonies for the first instalment of the festival, which will feature regular Mock the Week writer Jim Muir as his alter ego creation The Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolf III, Liam Mullone and musical combo Rob & Skatz.
One of the promoters, Jim Russell, said: "We wondered why no-one had thought of bringing a comedy evening and Auchtermuchty together before."
The "Wear the Fox Hat" Auchtermuchty Comedy Festival takes place today and Saturday in Victoria Village Hall.
