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. He's 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. The fickle finger of fate has turned Hal's life upside down but he's sticking a finger right back at it. 'Funniest he's ever been' ***** (Times).

Are 'woke mobs' killing comedy? You must be joking, say top Fringe comedians

Every week there's some new claim that comedy is being ruined by 'woke' mobs out to destroy freedom of speech. Is that really true?

Hal Cruttenden interview

There are great nights and there are awful nights.

Kate Copstick, Entertainment Now, 6th August 2022

Interview with comedian and actor Hal Cruttenden

"I'm an Edinburgh cliche because I came from a comfortable middle class background with parents who loved the arts. My dad spent his life wanting to be an actor but only turned professional at 49. He died at 50. That was an early life lesson in not compromising on your dreams."

Tom Inniss, Voice Magazine, 23rd July 2022

Hal Cruttenden: So my wife left me... Yes! I have a show!

This time last year, I was panicking about my next Edinburgh show and tour. I was worried that the topics that consumed me (my family, Covid lockdowns and our hopeless UK government) may not sound too unique in the current comedy climate. Then, thank god, my wife left me.

Hal Cruttenden interview

Well, I was struggling to find a strong theme to my show but then (thank god) my wife left me at the end of last year.
