Radio Times review
Hal Cruttenden is one of those nicely dressed middle-class comedians that you assume will skip through a cosy routine about school runs in the 4x4 and posh supermarkets. Instead he starts off with some alarming gags about why Santa Claus and the tooth fairy are scary. "I want to be a political comic but I can't be bothered to do the reading," he adds before launching into a distinctly political tirade that touches on the NHS, pensions and Iraq.
Also on the bill are Mancunian Justin Moorhouse, who gets some laughs out of his northern origins and Canadian Tom Stade, who says some pretty harsh things about getting old.
