Comedian Hal Cruttenden is bringing his new show It’s Best You Hear It From Me to Belfast in May.

Hal’s show is about finding himself suddenly single in his 50’s and it took Edinburgh Fringe by storm last summer, being named by British Comedy Guide as one of the best reviewed shows of the fringe.

Hal Cruttenden has his pooch and other consolations as he faces the pain of divorce in his 50s and gets us all laughing about it.

Instead of getting the therapy he clearly needs, he's made a cracking show about it.

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. 

A regular on Live at the Apollo and Have I Got News For You, Cruttenden will play Belfast’s Limelight on Sunday May 14. For tickets visit Limelightbelfast.com.
