Hal Cruttenden - Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It

About

Fresh from yet another smash hit run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, top stand up comedian Hal Cruttenden (Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance) has been wowing audiences around the country.

In his last show, Hal discussed the devastation of his divorce - after 20 years of marriage his wife left him for a firearms officer (that is, the complete opposite of Hal). Now, three years on, Hal is determined to stick it to The Man (as long as The Man doesn’t stick it back to him). Packed with hilarious pontificating on middle-aged dating, social media, the insanity of modern politics and the fragility of marriage, Hal talks about swapping supposed security and a silver anniversary, for dating apps and the unexpected shift of being offered life advice by your kids.

Hal may be alone but he’s not lonely. He’s found, much to his ex-wife’s surprise, that some women still find him attractive. He’s dating again and, although nearly 25 years have passed since he was last ‘on the scene’, he’s found he can be just as neurotic, immature, thoughtless, and naïve - even if he does think his 50s might be turning out to be more fun than his 20s!
