😅 Hal Cruttenden: Can Dish But Can't Take It - Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton
Time: 20:00 - 22:30 Price: £20.00
▪️AGE: Strictly 16+
🤩 ABOUT:
With his trademark hard-hitting ‘take no prisoners’ comedy (this is what Hal told me to write!!!) he will be hilariously pontificating on subjects like middle aged dating, social media, the insanity of modern politics and the fact that his daughters love him but don’t respect him. He believes that, after you’ve seen the show, you’ll feel exactly the same way.
His last tour was extended four times and he’s one of a select number of comics to have done Live At The Apollo three times and the Royal Variety twice, TV also includes Have I Got News For You, The Apprentice You’re Fired, Bake Off Extra Slice and Would I Lie To You.
