Hal Cruttenden: It's Best You Hear It From Me
Self
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.

Hal Cruttenden Live: Tough Luvvie
Himself
Older, wiser, funnier and far closer to a full breakdown, Cruttenden certainly has an edge to him, perhaps it’s from existing on the edges of things; the edges of London, the edge of middle-age, the edge of middle-class and the edge of greater fame. He has all the likeability of an arena comic but with something of the night about him.
