Hal Cruttenden comedy coming to Bridport

One of the UK’s best loved stand-up comedians - Hal Cruttenden - is back on tour with a brand-new show titled It’s Best You Hear It From Me.

After 21 years and 224 days Hal's back being single. But it's all going to be fine. Instead of getting the therapy he clearly needs, he's made a cracking show about it.

The show will come to Bridport Electric Palace on Saturday, June 10.

Hal has lost enough weight to almost get his wedding ring off and, while he may be flying solo, he's far from alone; he's got his grown-up daughters, his dogs and his divorce lawyer.

Hal, and his soon to be ex-wife Dawn, are part of the surge in ‘grey’ divorces. His hair certainly is and hers changes colour so often that she’s not quite sure. But this show isn’t just for those who’ve been through divorce and single people who need cheering up.

It’s also for blissfully happy couples who can’t imagine that their marriage will fail, and that smug look will be wiped off their face. This show not only makes you laugh but gives hope and a shared experience to the 42 per cent of the population that get divorced in the UK - just don’t tell them that 60 per cent of second marriages end in divorce too.

The former Perrier awards nominee is one of the top touring stand-up comedians working in the UK and Ireland today, as well as being a highly accomplished writer, presenter and actor. He’s hosted The Rugby’s On on BT Sport with Ugo Monye. He has also made several appearances on ‘Live at the Apollo’ (BBC1 & 2), ‘Have I Got News For You’ (BBC1) and ‘The Apprentice: You’re Fired’ (BBC2).

Hal has toured extensively in the UK and Ireland over the last 10 years, he has also taken shows to the Montreal, Melbourne, and New Zealand comedy festivals and he’s recorded three stand up specials ‘Tough Luvvie’ (www.amazon.co.uk), ‘Straight Outta Cruttenden’ (Amazon Prime) and ‘Chubster’ (NextUPComedy.com and Amazon Prime).
